Description
FULL VIEW OR RISK NIGHTMARESWhile Dreamscapes are not in use, they are black and void of anything. But when a person is dreaming, the Dreamscape can be a vivid, powerful place. The Dream Spirits are there to protect dreamers from their counterparts, the Nightmare Spirits, and Keiriko is one of the best Dream Spirits of his age group. He is still young and reckless, but he knows what he's doing, and has defeated many powerful Nightmare Spirits. Even as we watch, dark clouds skid across the horizon, and an ill wind flows through the air as a Nightmare Spirit approaches...
I said I'd get another painting of Keiriko done, but I didn't expect it would be this year. @.@ I really dislike how his hair turned out, it looks like dark water splashing off his head. His hands are also weird, but meh. At least it's done.
Note: The symbols are Dreamscape runes. The one on his collar designates him as a Dream Spirit (Dream), and the tattoo on his leg is his personal call-sign, Rogue. For better views of the symbols, look here.
Partial lineart done in pencil on computer paper.
Complete lineart and colouring done in Photoshop Elements 3.0.

Hmm critique eh?
Well, what I would say is that the grass seems to be a bit rushed to me. Its just flat color gone over with the grass brush in Photoshop, it needs more detail to it you know? May I suggest adding smaller grass blades way back in the background, that might help a bit to add some more perspective to it, you know 
Now for the nice stuff, really nice character. It has a really awesome design to it. I just love raptors.. they're always so awesome looking. I also like his colors, weee they're sooo pretty

Haha, well then the background looks the way it is: rushed. Only more recently have I begun caring about the backgrounds. It's sort of a cloud-slash-approaching-darkness thing. Didn't spend much time on it. 
Thank you for the compliments too.

Oh, yeah I used to be that way about backgrounds. Actually I used to be that way about the entire picture.. but now I spend time on it and they are soo much prettier
Huh.. I didn't know that Photoshop Elements didn't have a grass brush. Now that I look at it it no longer looks like the work of a grass brush.
Yeah, you should raptors are soo pretty

I really like this! Rapters are for the win.
The markings are pretty damned cool too.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh. I would've made the markings more detailed and dramatic, but then I'd never be able to do them again.
Anyway, thank you.

I think the hair looks fine, and I noticed the hands, but I can't say exactly what it is that's wrong.... Looks good to me, all in all.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I was told that the hands look fake, that's probably what's wrong.
Thank you for the comment.

Woah nice...
[Possible Critiques]
As I said before in dAmn... your anthro drawings seem to be too feral... maybe balancing it out?
(If it wasn't meant to be an anthro... This can be disregarded)
In this paticular picture... It appears that the legs are "lopsided"... [not the best word choice but...]
*I have no helpful hints on that...*

Keiriko is meant to be that way; he was only a little anthromorphosed before he escaped.
And yeah, the anatomy is probably a bit off. I couldn't seem to draw the lower body right at all...so I did my best and let it be.
Thanks for the comment and
