Dynasty Warriors Weapons Concept: War Banner (Digitally Drawn)

what have I made – where did the idea come from? This is a digital drawing of my War Banner sketch, Complete with shading and lighting.

What has gone well? I think the shading on the wood and lighting on the metal are very good due to the Buildup of Low opacity black and white.

What could be improved? I think I could’ve added some shading onto the flag part, as well as add cloth creasing to it.

Would I consider your work to be of a professional standard? Provide justification. I think the shading and lighting as well as non-block colors to it make this digital drawing more professional.

What would I differently if I were to attempt a similar task or project again? I would add more to the design, such as reinforced wood, the cloth covering the handle having a part of it moving about, differently-colored metal and a more designed flag.
