Description Syam couldn't believe that Roc left Grandesque for Skrekrill. Of all aeries to join why that horrible pit scum? Especially during the war, such a betrayal. Needless to say Syam will be watching his every move...


perspective failed a bit on this didn't it? Haaaa...

Hey there! What I really like about this is the angle you drew it from. The characters can all be seen though one appears to be walking away. I like that effect.

Hi there, I'm Akif-Magic from the #FeedbackFrenzy Team 25 here to feedback your arts.

I like this art. The title suits it. The picture is drawn nicely and it's coloured greatly. It so beautiful. It makes it digital. Although i'd prefer if it was the bird looking down on them which the views should go with but it is still a nice art.

Hey there, it's me again from #FeedbackFrenzy !

What I really like about this image is the narrative - it's immediately obvious to the viewer what's happening (or about to happen). I agree that the perspective is a little weird; if the character on the branch were viewed a little from the top, I think that would really help the image overall (right now we actually seem to be looking up at him which creates a strange sense of space). Also I think it would really improve the sense of depth in the image if you added some atmospheric perspective [link] and subdued the color saturation and tonal contrast in the characters and foliage on the ground plane; that would help push them back in space and make the character on the branch feel closer (and more menacing). It would also help the image overall to add a little color variation throughout the piece based on the light source. I'm not really sure where the light is coming from in this piece or what kind of light it is (morning light, mid-day light, etc) because everything feels evenly treated in terms of color and value.

I hope something in my comments were helpful to you in some way and help you with your future work. Have a great!

Hey there! I found your art through #FeedbackFrenzy .

I think the perspective is actually really well handled aside from the creature's bottom half on the tree branch (Syam?)- I feel as though that part of the tree branch and his bottom half should be shifted to the left more, otherwise it makes that part look two dimensional because it's going across the canvas rather than coming towards it. I hope that makes sense, it's really hard to explain aha.

I also think the shading on the bottom characters needs more work to match the shading of the top one, they look very flat in comparison. Like the top and bottom half of the picture are two entirely different artworks.

My last crit would be the colouring on the tree branch and left side foliage- the tree branch has a lot of greys in it which make it look washed out, and the foliage needs more blending to match those on the right side also.

I do like the character interaction in this a lot, and the foliage is really well shaded and painted- it's vaguely detailed but that works. The way the different shades of green overlap the others in little paint specks I really adore and gives it quite a realistic feel.

I'm also impressed by your anatomy here. The way the musculature on the top one works with his forelegs compressed like that around his shoulder really stands out to me as very well drawn. Also the perspective on the bottom two is great, as are the top-view of the wings, that can be a real headache to master.

Awesome work.

Thank you for taking the time to critique! I agree with all your suggested improvements, and they were areas that I struggled with while painting. Thank you!

*Insert "Predator" quote here*
Billy: I don't believe he did; I can't find a single track.
Dutch: What about the rest of Hopper's men?
Billy: There's no sign, sir. They never left here. Hell, it's like they just disappeared.

Roc is going to be hearing a similar conversation in a little while! Syam is the coolest! Great art!

uh oh, Roc's been found out! Milvus is equally angry at Roc for this treachary! (she found out when samael couldn't keep his mouth shut about it!)

love so many things about this pic, Syam's ninja/batman pose watching them from above, the casual walking poses Dom and Roc are in, and the lovely backround! Great work
