Dire Tiger: Painter... crits, help, suggestions welcome

[Karen K.]

I'm fresh blood here, but I figured, why not just dive on in?

I'm working with Painter 7.0 on this. Any help would be appreciated :) I'm totally open to reworking stuff...

and u should make the tall visible

[Swoop]

Apart from the circle i think it simply looks awsome.. love the little rough look, and the colors. Awsome !
I cant find anything wrong just right now... nice job !

[Karen K.]

Haha, yeah the circle... *sigh* :) I was thinking of putting a pagoda off to the left of him, and yes, obviously the tail hasnt been stuck in there yet... I have this nasty habit of starting lots and LOTS of digital paintings but never finishing them, so I was hoping these forums would be a good shove in the right direction :)

great tiger.

only crits

1. background does not work for me something needs to be there.

2. Tigers face is nicely detailed but eerywhere else looks unfinished.

3. perhaps darker lines and colours are needed on the tiger if you are going to have no background or a simple one.

But hey you aint finished yet.
