Description
This is epic on every scale, took me about 8 hours.... I was talking this up to friends recently and what my mind's eye and what the finished product are have become way polar opposites. But nonetheless, i'm happy with the result...Would really appreciate some feedback on this, because I am really going out of my confort zone and wanna know how I can make things like this better.

No probs, on the top right hand side of any page there's a little man with a + it should have add to watch or something similar when you clicks it. Good luck

This is simply awesome!!!! I love it!!!
Congrats on going WAY out of your comfort zone - I am liking this style a lot.
One thing I would say is (and this is coming from a stocker not a visual artist) in some cases, less is more. One thing for example that I feel doesn't need to be there is the witches hat. I didn't notice it at first until I looked at the credits. It kind of looks like it has been copy and pasted on, not fallen off the witches head.
Just a thought

Thank you Kirilee, It means a lot. I am such a fan of your work and I can't see myself getting bored with you (smile). You are one of the most energetic stock artist I have come across. You putting that professional effort in only wants us to do your work justice....
I hoped that I took my work to the next level with this one..
That Bloody witch's hat, hahah, one of the two things I was stressing over. I was constantly removing it, adding it, removing it again..... I would imagine a revisit will be on the cards very soon, and the absence of the hat will be one of them.
Feel free to be as honest and brutal about my work as you can be, Its the only way to learn...
I think i've said it before, if there is ANYTHING on your wish list, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider me in having a shot....

You certainly took your work to the next level with this one. I am impressed.
And thank you for your kind words about my stock. I am not all warm and fuzzy on the inside
As for the hat - get rid of it. You really really don't need it. Not every space in a picture needs to be filled - it gives other spaces in the piece to get some limelight
The other thing I would say is the far right, the lava on the tree... it doesn't look right. I think because it is so HEAVY and present on the nature (and to me, this is an image about evil invading into the natural/ good world). I don't know, that just kind of stood out for me too.
What is your wishlist? What stock would you ultimtely like to see me do?
