To bad I can only use three of them... Love the small detail on that stone bottom right.
REALLY nice job, you should create skin textures for models 0_o
D
i have a long way ahead of me still
So GJ Mate! Keep it up.
Also could you perhaps do a drawing of a Lung Dragon?
I don't know what goals you have inlaid for the future, whether your ambitions are leading you somewhere down the road of a commercial artist, and if not, elsewhere greater, but I believe if your soul strives for whatever dream you have, it will be so.
You are probably already aware that the comments you will receive in this forum will retain little value other than to impress, or to show the community that supports you and conversely.
All I have to say is that there is a lot of criticism out there that will hurt, and that there are people in the "professional leagues" who will say that your work is filthy garbage even though it may not seem so. I know, because one of my friends does this type of work for a living.
Like I said, I am presuming you know this already, and that your desire is to be a full fledged artist.
Beyond that, your works often relate to fantasy, and that's cool. You draw what you like. Although your work shows great improvement from what I've seen, I do believe that it would be beneficial for your skills as an artist to try other styles if you haven't, and sources to draw from. I also assume this much because I don't see much other than fantasy on your deviantart website.
Honestly, I have never truly enjoyed your works. Even though it shows evidence of the already and potential skill in the artist, I believe that they lack the achromatic feel where dark darks intercede with the light and contours that you produce which ultimately lead it to having very little chop that even realism can produce these days. Perhaps what I am saying is that you need to define your pencil work instead of "lightly tracing," and more or less use emphasis instead of raw detail. I know this hard to do on the computer, but I've seen a lot of artists that have struck a stunning contrast of those qualities inbetween.
In your current work, the color intensity is not there. What it lacks is emotional viz; it feels washed out - early rennaissance persona. I also feel like I'm looking at a photograph. What that might mean is that you need to develop a stronger sense in your style, a passionate glare - something that will make you distinct.
My subjective opinions hardly account for anything, and I know you understand what needs to be done, or improved.
I don't feel like critiquing line for line like many so called poets do, but the impression, which is the most important of all, I get, is what's mentioned earlier.
All said, you poured your heart into this one, and the hard work shows.
Good job.
In omnibus excelsior.
My Drawing skills are so bad, even my finger painting looks bad, the little toddlers laugh at me(well, they don't actually, i was just making a point).
