stone monsters/animals concepts

[mime]

The first time i really do creature concepts, i need lot of practice since almost the only things i learned for now was to draw from life .... i always find difficult to put on paper what i have in mind.
For those 2 i had photo references of crab and flamingos.

tell me what you think :)

the crab looks a bit off balance.
not sure about the leg that closes to me looks like it broken.
and the far eye and left claw looks a tad small and lower then the right.

technique is okay.

not sure why you would not have him facing me.
as opposed to walking away.

after being the buisness for 20 yrs doing kids stuff and talking to editors i would tend to think before i start how can i sell this to a editor and is this something he or she would buy. then i pick a pose that a little more sellable a beauty shot as they call them.

the bird is cool.

great job.
