bejeezus beautiful,..though i do think the darks are slightly overpowering...love the mushrooms and fairy though

hey this is nice!


i think its still needs more refinement though. but the general idea is definitley communicated. at this point it feels liked a very labored sketch.

I think you should add a more "mystical" light to it, make it a bit more lively.(?) Also maybe add a little more details to the already detailed painting.

That's really cool! I've seen a number of your landscapes now. You have a really cool imagination! And light is important in your work, which I really enjoy.

My only crit is I've noticed you tend to work with a very small brush. You have lots of detail, but I think it makes your pictures lose cohesion, and like Ty says it looks unfinished. Maybe try taking it farther with broader strokes before turning to your detail brush?

sorry if this comes off rash.. Im just trying to give a a good crit..

1. too many focal points for me.. it is making the peice to chaotic, and not flowing..

2. Im losing a sense of depth.. the background or distant objects have just as much detail as the foreground..like someone said, use a larger brush then work smaller.. *could help*

looks good though.. keep em coming

peace

ps take this wtih a grain of salt.
