Just out of curiosity, how tall are Kong and the dinosaurs in this. They look significantly larger than they were in the 1933, 1976, and 2005 movies. Possibly Godzilla size. Would you tie this into a King Kong and Godzilla encounter?

Very nicely done! The subtleties of Kong's hair and the textures of the vegetation are wonderful.

Awesome! though i wish that the V-rexes would beat him. Dinos are WAY cooler than giant apes. i personally would think that it would be a lot more interesting if the roles were switched lol. anyway really awesome on this piece. i wish i could have commented sooner

Looks huge even as a thumb nail. Only problem I can see is the upright dinosaur has no arms, but Kong preparing to push it away with his foot looks awesome.

You just keep improving, man!

if you're adjusting Anne, as per Nick's comment...I'd try moving her over about an inch and a half...she feels a *little* off to the side at the moment. If I can venture another suggestion: I kind of want to be able to hit Kong's face as my primary focal point, then move down to Anne...I'd play with his profile/get a little of that light behind him to come down so that his face is in greater contrast against the background. Maybe edge light it/give us a little more of a nose. Just thoughts!

Overall, though: a really cool set of values and textures on this...and good color in general.

niiice dude. looks even better on the computer screen than your phone! haha. if i could give you one suggestion it would be to have the shadow that surrounds the top half of ann just extend down and surround her completely. that way she'll really pop. as of now, her lower half gets a little lost.

i really like what you did with brush work and texturing though, and the atmospheric work looks great. well done man!
