Very nice dux!!
It could be improved more by adding some trims/pattern (don't know what's the exact word) on his armor... Oh, and the skull looks a little bit out of place, it looks like a sticker ^^, it's too much flattened.
Your drawning remind me certain ones from the 'Sons of the storm' band (designers of Warcraft, Starcraft and Diablo)
Check out the Samwise's gallery, I think you'll find a good inspiration such as these ones:
; )
Finally did some non-HDR shots

Quote from DvSBest one, but they're all very good.The top two I feel are slightly too saturated in post production, but it's a matter of taste.
Thanks
No, you're right, I've just edited the first one and I'm going to do again the second one, it's missed
Another one of London

With a little bit of imagination, we can see on the left part of the sky, a heart and a hand being just about to catch it : p

Quote from DvSThanks, I'll see what I can do about the blurryness, may have to do with the compression I'm using.
Ok 
The flower one is such a really good shot! The depth of field is perfect, congrats!
I've just come back from a couple of days spent in London, so here're some photos of this wonderful place

Nice set DvS
Although the mirror one is very ordinary, i like it the most. The other ones look a bit blurred...
A new one I took in a colza field, worked with a HDR treatment

I specially caught these shots with a normal exposure for you JP, in case you still want to show me how to have an as good as result without HDR. So, let me know if you want the shots
Thanks a lot to you both

This reddish field caught my attention while I was walking around a forest. That was so intense I saw it through the foliage. I really don't know this color come from because all around the field, the grass is pretty green.
I really like the eerie and dramatic atmosphere coming out of this shot

Man, I love your work!! 
The hammer-&-egg set is brilliant, funny and original! Congrats
I also love the potato one a lot
Do you know about Rodny Mella? He's a French designer known in the whole world, doing a lot of conceptual things a bit like yours. He has a website but it's presently off... I'll give you his web address as soon as the site is available
Keep up the good work
Quote from JeanPaulWell if thats the 0ev in a bracketed version, they are all overexposed. Thats not me making fun of your work, its just fact, the image you sent me was overexposed. I am going to edit the darkest one you sent me, which is also the most properly exposed one (IMG_5731) and see what I can do with it.
Yea, but as I said before, when I intend to do HDR, I pick up the dark brightness. Up to now, I’ve noticed that the result is better (for HDR only, of course).
When I do "classic shot", I get an exposure working well with shadows and highlights.
But I admit it’ll be hard for you to try something with those shots I sent you 
. They’re only planned for HDR.
Quote from JeanPaulOh and I dont know why you think Seir did anything other than edit the colors in your image he posted. Its still HDR, and the only thing he did was remove some of the unnecessary (and actually quite odd) colors that HDR can create if not done perfectly. The sky is also the same, I dont know what you are talking about in that comment. And last thing, not all good images are really saturated. (I didnt know this for a while) so just because some colors are desaturated doesnt mean its "dull". Dull implies a lack of contrast, and his edit is far from lacking contrast.
Sure, sorry but my English is far from perfect, so I might do some mistakes and use wrong words. By dull, I wanted to say that colors are a little bit darkened.
It goes without saying I was really glad to see his proposition. I can turn a different look on the photo.
That said, I prefer this kind of picture with "high colors" rather than "drab".
Quote from JeanPaulNow, while I dont hate your work, and some of its pretty good, you rely WAY too much on techniques (HDR) than you do composition, capture of light, and subject matter. And honestly, thats backwards!
I agree with you about composition… I’ll try to compose with some human shapes soon in order to complete my shots (if I find a friend who accepts to do several km for a couple of photos ).
I also admit I'm more "artistic" when I do "classic" shot...
Quote from JeanPaulRemember, Im not here to be a jerk (im not FFPMONE) im here to help. And I dont sugar coat my posts.
Hey, I’ve never said that! I enjoy a lot to share opinions, techniques… to talk about photo or suchlike here with you and members! Otherwise, I'd be already gone
No buddy, I've sent you the 0EV exposed shot.
I picked up with my camera the shadows brightness to have the best luminosity in the whole HDR picture. And I can avoid so any kind of noise after post processing.
Well, I'm going to upload the 3 shots and then I pass them on to you.
Sorry Seir, but I prefer the HDR one...
On your version, the sky is overexposed and colors are dull
Here's is the no-retouching version (+1EV). You could do the difference between colors of my HDR version and standard colors

They are almost the same... only shadows and highlights are improved to have a dynamic photo. That said, I admit I saturated colors a little bit in photoshop.
Quote from JeanPaulGive me the normal exposure original raw file for that image and you will see exactly what I am talking about.
I don't think so... but I'm very curious, the raw file has been sent to you. It's not exactly the same shot, but a pretty similar one of the same place from where the image was taken from.
In that way, there's zero assemblage to do.
Here's my version:

I'm looking forward to your version JP 
Hehe, thank you
A new one I've just taken and propably the best I've ever done.

hey JP, how do you feel about HDR now? Still hating it?
Niark niark niark 
Ok, let's go for sunrises...
What do you have against my sunsets/sunrises? I really love doing photos at dusk or at dawn, colors are the most interesting.
As a matter of fact, my country is a little bit boring now... only uninteresting fields as far as the eye can see... I'm looking forward to the summertime, when fields are colored by bloomy grasses and when trees get their leaves. There, I could do something new
Thank you Dark for nice words
Well, for you JP:

Quote from e-freakreally love the lighting, the aspect ratios, the color, the contrast and the cam distortion towards the ceiling and the low ground...

Good work
Thank you.
Quote from DvSyou have trees with vertical lines and then you have felled trees with diagonal lines leading you out of the picture.
That's what I like on this 
Finally, I got my Photomatix licence a few days ago : )

You're improving
I think your compositions could be improved though. Try to take out boring elements on landscapes shots or, on the contrary, try to catch the whole subject on portraits or suchlike...
For example,the purple sunset/sunrise one, with clouds looking kinda like plane tracks is really cool but the branches are a little bit awkward...
On the last one, it's a little bit pity that the ear is cut off...
Flowers are really hard to take, mostly yellow flowers. If your camera allows you, use a low value of aperture and take the shot the most close to the flower in order to have a good bokeh (kind of intense blur in the background). Here, the bokeh is too much distracting because of a lot of details.
Keep up the good work : )
The two black stripes aren't really fine, I know...
