Something vs. something else.

Um, hi. I'm new here. I got sick of the crappy art class I'm taking at school (one-point perspective is simply riveting) and my art teacher who can't draw for shit, let alone give decent critiques, so I came here. I have a LOT to work on, I know. That's why I want you guys to critique the hell out of this. I might not make any huuuge changes to this (I'm kinda sick of working on it and the .psd is killing my computer), but I'll go back to fix minor things, and I'll definitely keep all critiques in mind when working on similar things in the future.

really nice colour composition. I'm especially fond of the neck-feathers on the eagle thing.

As for the creatures design themselves... the name "jennadelle" rings a bell. Hm.

Okay. Critique. The point where the floor meets the wall doesn't look... right. If you extended the banner-things in the background to meet and cross the floor - I think that would help with your dimension problem (see attached image [p.s. - I don't have a tablet so bear with me])

Also - the black tribal things on the banners in the background art too black. They should be a bit faded, charcoal grey at the darkest.

Anyway. Nice job, please keep posting :)

...haha, oops. I posted the wrong image. I'll go edit the first post with the version that's got a few things fixed.

i really have no room to crit a peice like this, your really good. but 2 things bug me from the get go, 1) the arm in the forground on the giant bird thing looks really wierd and 2) the neck of said giant bird thing looks kinda flat to me.

overall, it is way better than i could ever hope to do. keep it up

hii! hope you dont mind, I played around a bit. I think you have a good start on the shadows and highlights, but it can be pushed further. remember the sphere that we all shade! you want rounder shadows and highlights, and the piece can get more edgy if you push the values further

this is just an idea....you dont have to pay attention! the top is your piece under grey scale, the bottom is my edit

Ejendres - I know my anatomy could use a lot of work, but "it looks weird" doesn't help much. Could you be more specific? Thanks!

Smellykitty - Ah, that helps a lot, thank you! I keep forgetting how much I neglect contrast.
