forest creature

Hi. I guess it's pretty much finished, but I'd certainly be willing to work on it some more, if you guys think I should. Please critique or say AWESOME :)

This creature could fit right into that new game TES4: Oblivion. Very GOOD painting imo. Its also got a good camo colour scheme to it so it actually feels like a creature rather than put two and two together to get four. There are some parts that need critiques, but I dont want to spoil the good post ^^

ill just say awesome :)

I say AWESOME, too
however I think the cropping is a bit unfortunate
and perhaps the composition could be helped with a little something-something in the foreground near it's right leg
perhaps a group of mushrooms?
Now that I take a third look... the leg it is leaning on... I feel the foot doesn't reflect much the weight it is supporting, know what I mean?
Other than that, maybe add a little more detail to the rocks.
nice work, cool character :)

i like it!

for the crits, the tail could need some more dark tones, it mixes up with the leg.

The fur doesn't work well, the brush strokes are not supporting the "flow" optic of fur...

other than that it's awesome yes ;) visit the COW when you have time on your hands, seems that you have fun with drawing creatures...

Cool. I appreciate your feedback guys - I'll take those into account in the next few days when I revisit Pukar (that's what I call this creature :)

woops, I forgot to ask you Fozzybar, what is the COW? Does it stand for Creatur e of the Week? Is it a forum? Can you give me the link? Thanks.

[dragon4lunch]

Nevermind, I found it! I did a search on the net for "creature of the week" and yes indeed - it's a forum - right here at conceptart.org! Hehe.

I really like the creature, but it feels like you barely worked on the background in comparison. I'd love to see it with a more realistic looking one.
