Description
Veles (Cyrillic: Велес; Polish: Weles; Old Russian and Old Church Slavonic: Велесъ ) also known as Volos (Russian: Волосъ ), according to Slavic mythology, is a major Slavic god of earth, waters and the underworld, associated with dragons, cattle, magic, musicians, wealth and trickery. He is also the opponent of thunder-god Perun, and the battle between two of them constitutes one of the most important myths of Slavic mythology. No direct accounts survive, but reconstructions speculate that he may directly continue aspects of the Proto-Indo-European pantheon and that he may have been imagined as (at least partially) serpentine, with horns (of a bull, ram or some other domesticated herbivore), and a long beard.So then here's the fourth summon magic out of 18. The earth one. Though I had to admit that I changed his appearance a lot from the description (from a herbivore into golem-like). But yes, I still keep the half-serpentine side (his tail) and the horns.
And lastly, I'm trying the new critique feature
Next: Erebos

Though at first I didn't really know what to say about this piece, a closer look at it shown that there's a lot to in here. The description help a lot to the understanding of this fight God, which also can explain the ferocious background, which color was well chosen. Though, and still about the background, I can say that the color could have more variation - it's not bad, but the continuous brown on it doesn't let it grow to be even better. The lightening in the places near the God looks pretty well, I coulnd't have asked for more.
About the character, I have to say I've seen you painting better before. Nevertheless, the colors go along well, the only thing I have to say is about the shading - I know for sure you can do it better e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="

hmm...
1:lightning to outline the sky.
2:glow to signify magma way deep in that trench there.
3:rocks are too round, some of them should be jagged, not just the spires of stone, the rock shrapnel too.
4:maybe add runes on left arm, the on wielding magic.
5:arcs or lightning/magic to connect the joints, actualy, lightning dosen't feel right, how about just magic?
6:moar imagination, go nuts! DO NOT HOLD BACK!!!
7:I realy hope this helps!^^
