Description Great but small forest spirit. He watches all deeds done in his forest and protects it. Unlike many creatures he is always silent and calm. He holds 108 stars of Destiny summoning 36 Heavenly Spirits and the 72 Earthly Fiends, which include elementals and forest beasts, for his aid and forest protection.

Part of 108 stars is inspired from one of the Four Great Classical Novels of Chinese literature called Water Margin, which was written by Shi Nai'an in the 14th century.

My firs digitalPAINTING.

Wow. Can I just say I love the fur?!? The creature itself is so cute too... I just want to It's hard to believe that this is your first digital painting, but I can only imagine how much time you must've spent creating this. If I were to offer critique, the edges of the paws, especially the hind ones, have a thick, uniform gray shadow around them, and I personally think that it's a little off-putting when the rest of the creature is painted in a very semi-realistic way. However, the flowers, which you've done in a more stylized way... although I noticed the contrast between them and the creature, I feel is strangely fitting. For a creature inspired by mythology, I think it looks almost as if the spirit is stepping out of the mythology and folklore, or perhaps in a state of being between the "real" and the "mythical". All in all, this is my favorite of your digital art that I've seen so far.

Ahh, thank you for this comment I drew this about 7-8 hours.. Glad you like the creature! About the paws.. I know this and agree ;D I'm already thinking to improve them. I think I just miss this part, because I was really tired after the fur

Since you want a critique I will try. the creature is very adorable and well placed being in the center of the image it makes it clear to the viewer that he is the focus, with the beads and flowers on the image the viewer then is free to more around the canvas in a readable fashion from the creature across the beads and down the flowers so that we can see the whole image. You have a good use of spacial movement in that sense. The creature itself I think is well executed but a bit awkward in  some aspects the eye that is more closed look a little strange the more one stared because there are no facial wrinkles elsewhere leading me to question if the eye may just be smaller  (now I only noticed this because I stared long enough but I thought I should bring it to you attention so that you can either fix it if you desire or say nah that's what I wanted gah I really mean it as helpful) the next thing I would say is that the fur does not have reflective light on it. This isn't really a big deal but it is so magical when one does add reflective light. Reflective light ads more depth to the figures and integrate it into the environment. That said I look well married to it's background and surrounding objects without the reflective light. Overall those are the only two point I feel worthy of mentioning the image as a whole is very stable in composition and has great reading capabilities the flowers look too be delicate in a stylistic way rather than in a realistic rendering while the beads look very round and the creature itself looks semi-realist intentionally. I love this image and I hope that what I say was helpful in some way but feel free to ignore what I said. I do hope you make more like this

O wow, thank you for this critique! It helps me a lot, especially about the fur. It was first time I drew the fur on tablet... took a lot of time, but I still didn't understand what is wrong. Really, thanks I will keep it in mind and I hope soon I will made some more art like this.

You're so welcome, I really enjoyed your piece so I want to be helpful. ^^~ I never would have guessed it was your first time making fur with a tablet it looks so well practiced. So your time was quite well spent.
I hope you do. If you make more like this you should send me a note so I can see it.
