I love the concept although certain ascpects are harder to see than others such as time, and space. Nature stands out very well in the personifcation of the woman being nature and the two others being creatures in or on nature's hair. I just am not totally sure on the space and time ascpects of the concept. I can kind of see space in the first creature's coloring and how it looks like space but the time creature was hard to understand at frist although after a few hours of looking at it mulitpule time I started to see the small deatils on it's back. I do think the choices though for what the personifcation of space and time are though are very original and intresting none the less.
The drawing itself is beautifully crafted and has wonderful balance as far as it looks to the eye, with an obvious line of movment. I do think that lack of a background is very good choice to emphasize the three figures. I also like how you made them all three conect by both standing on woman's hair and having an orbs of some sort that were all similar somehow.
Over all this is a very stunning piece and a splendid interpretation of nature, space and time.

i like the detail in the drawing of your art work and colors you use, what inspired you for this drawing? its will balance and there's a flow with drawing and the shadow in the drawing is very good from light to dark. the girl that holding the ball of nature is awesome and the hair with flowers is cute. with this drawing are you telling a story with is picture? with the 2 animals are they deer? the one this is in dark blue is that half human and animal? the dress of the girl is very will put together with the detail of the bow.

The personifications are brilliant in their smooth integration of corresponding elements within each. Nature especially stands out as the most impressive with river-like hair, healthy figure & properly themed dress with lush jade greens. This would be a lovely design to replicate even in real life.
The hybrids for Space and Time carry a sense of unpredictability with ribboned antlers, but for the limited texturework & design instead gives way to subtle expression of their representative essentials with driven yet laid back feel, found in their near deer & mule-like designs.
Lack of a background does make this piece feel like a cursory paint sketch, still helps put main focus on the characters & their substances. The near-lineless nature helps enhance wholsomeness of the characters with emphasis on smoothly gradating tones & round forms, The orbs of matter they each hold further add a fantasy styled flavour.
This is a very different approach, one reflecting a profound sense of interpretation amidst simple canvas. This also has some of your best tonework to date as well. Simple yet Stellar!

Evolution, it reminds of evolution over time, that's taken nature a long while for it to be where it's at today. It also can be seen as spiritual, for the humans who've developed ot be who they are.
God I suck at this sorry whit

Ok, I got the constellations as animals linking nature and space although perhaps you should have made one of those animals a bear or a ram or something more classically identifiable as such (or I'm hopelessly wrong and this is all based on Icelandic folklore where all the constellations are "The reindeer", The other Reindeer", etc. ). I'm not getting the hand as a back foot unless it's some oblique reference to evolution in which case okay but it still looks messed up.
Your "Mother Nature" figure is good but should have her eyes open - nature NEVER sleeps 
I guess my biggest problem (if it Is a problem) is that there seems to be no unifying story to this, or not one I am familiar with anyway, or can discern. This is very much a pastiche in the strict sense of seeming to be made of parts. If nature were riding a constellation deer or even (controversially) leading them on reins it might make more of a whole piece to me.
Anyway, the execution of this is lovely with good composition and colouring, solidly performed artwork and just the right amount of suggestive shaping to the animal elements to let them be mythic. There should be ground beneath them and the lines on Nature's feet are rather heavy - you wouldn't need them if there were a background. And what is that round her neck? It makes her shoulders seem rather hunched since her neck line is hidden (scarf wearers take note). And finally: the flowers. Keep them consistent or vary them more: I count 4, 5 and 6 petal variations of this single flower type but they could have different colours and shapes (details, always details with me I'm afraid).
But this is really a nice piece of work and don't let anything I've written convince you otherwise. I like it!

nature, time universe? well i got that w/o looking at the title fufufu~

I think this is a really nice concept... I'm wondering if there's any actual symbolism or meaning behind the creatures you chose to represent each entity (?)
For Nature, the first thing that comes to mind for me is... er, choking. I don't know if that's what you were going for (what with global warming and humans misusing earth and etc...) I think it's just the thing around her neck. (I'm not a professional okay ._.)
Space is probably my favorite. It's the colors. And the ball of light on the head. And the tangle of string on the antlers.
Time, I like the little clock on its neck. The whole animal is silhouette-like (well not really), like you don't really know what time is like.
I like how the hair stretches across the drawing, it really makes three different things come together. Overall nice job.
Good luck with the rest of your portfolio!

I think the second creature could not have turned out better, honestly.
It's back feet kind of creep me out, though.
Nature...I really like her concept and how she is the only one with human traits, but the shades of green you chose don't seem to be the right ones (too yellowish). But, if her dress were a darker shade of green, her yellowish hair would actually work out well with it. I like that her hair goes across the entire work, it kind of brings it together.
Time, I like the rich brownish-red that you used for it. But I really wouldn't be able to tell what he represents unless I looked at the title. The little hourglass tied up with many strings is a very nice concept, but it maybe should be a bit more significant.
It's nice to see a very different type(?) of art from you, Whit.

Mmm I'm not really in critiques but, the idea of the time I dont get it. It took me time to see the sand clock and the clock in the mouth, and if it's the time itself, it should be all about time, right? XD

Maybe a darker shad of green for Nature would be nice, like a tree kind of green, unless you were aiming for a corn/cereal kind of color.
Nature and Space are easy to understand but I find time a little vague ?
I'm sorry I'm not a good critique and some people said what I thought before too, like a darker background color would be good.
The rest of the picture is nice, because you're using your own style, and the colors go well with each other, giving an unity although Space does take all of the attention (hence darker colors for both of the two other characters would be good, it would give a better balance I think).
I really like the picture anyway

I like the concept, but the girl and the small critter seem really stiff to me. The background isn't doing anything for the piece either. I absolutely LOVE the big critters design, especially the back feet/hands and coloring. The small critters coloring isn't something I'd have chosen either. Overall I really do like the concept though, just need to tweak a few things. :]

I'm not the best critic there his,first the ball of "energy that the girl of nature hold fits with the background color.
maybe change the background for a darker shade of the same color to make the stand out more.
I really like the space where the color goes to night and aurore.Of all the 3 he seems the more alive because you gave a position that isnt frozen on a stable pose,but more like you feel he moving or looking at the hair of the girl(mother nature).
I'm not into the one of time too much,the ball of "energy" on the side makes it look akward(that my opinion,dont take it bad),just an idea maybe if it was near the nose or near the hourglass or over his horn might give it another interesting look.And as for the colour on the time,time changes so maybe having a variante might represent changes it that was your idea.
But over all that really love the idea,representing space as a animal ^^.
Reminds me of "princesse monokone" sorry I dont know the english name maybe"monokone princess"not sure.
