I like the render quality in the background and the lava in the paws, but i think that most of the problems are with the fundamentals of the drawing. The anatomical structure of the lion is kinda off and i think that you are shooting yourself in the foot while trying a complicated perspective for a piece that is really demanding on textures and lighting. Its obvious the amount of love you put in a project, but i think that your focus should be on the foundations rather than the finishing touches.

Hello everybody, it's been a while! A couple months ago I posted a few pieces about a mini series I was doing of Lions that made up the 4 elements. I've just about finished the final one which is fire but I just would like some feedback. I really like it, but something feels off to me and I feel like it's because there isn't enough contrast between the background sky and the foreground rock or if it's between the rock and the lion. Perhaps is that there is too much detail in the background and it needs simplifying? Maybe it's all of the above... Another set of eyes would help. Thanks in advance Chris i

Hey! I'm getting offered a deal to illustrate a chapter book series. It would be a spot illustration with the chapter great, kinda what's going on in Harry Potter, and the covers. They're asking me what I charge and I have no idea! Anyone done anything like this before?

@Ash-Lamb Oh ! sorry my bad (I didn't see the link there)! I'll go check it out !

Hi Chris I think it looks really nice though there are three elements that are about the same size and all are craving for attention making the eyes jump all over the place and not knowing where to focus on. I'm guessing the blue mushroom on the front is your focal point so the character next to it could be a bit smaller (since it's about the same size) and/or less bright so it doesn't compete with the mushroom's light (something like the smaller blue character on the far right would work better on him). Or you could make the yellow character be the main focus so removing some of the brightness on the blue mushroom would make him stand out much more. I would also try making the mushroom house much smaller so it looks farther away and also making it less bright as well, also could be positioned a bit more to the right so it kind of balances the scene a bit more. The water looks really nice but I would also add some darker shading the farther it is from the main mushroom. One trick you can use is to add a new layer in multiply mode on top and paint with a 15% dark blue on most parts as to add some ambience and reducing the lighting on most of the objects (minus the main focus one). Hope something of this is helpfull to you .

@Abigail-Hookham lovely
