the trees look too flat, imho

Yay you're here too! I love this piece.

cool

Great painting. No crits.

Wonderfully done. +9

Looks good. However I have some suggestions.

-It looks very technical and strict wich makes certain things look layered. (Loosing up a bit would help, and actually seeing brush strokes can be a feast one the eye)

-You painted the hair pretty thick individually. Something that would work on the wulf, but with guy and his coat it's all the same think width, wich makes it look a bit surreal.

-I would make the overal background, especially the tree lighter so it breaks away from the character and the dog, thus creating depth.

But like i said, nice technical skill...

trees look too flat, lighting is too strong (looks like a strong flashlight not like the sun), but the rest is amazing, outstanding work on the fur and hair.
good colouring on the face... =)

Cupcake

This is fantastic as all your work, it's good to see you posting again, I was wondering where you had gone!
I love this!

Thanks very much for the crits and comments guys. I'm going to work a little more on it. But not that much as I'm getting sick of it

Slapo> Yes, you're right

agrymikko> Yes, I've been here from some time ago

bellas> Gracias

RamonContini> You're right about the technique that might be strict. I do love paintings where you can see strokes. It's wonderful. But that's just not my style, I just cannot achieve that effect, I must practice on it, because I think it's lovely. I will work more on the bg trying not to get it too flat. Thank you

darturbrain> Yes, the light looks wrong, but at this stage I don't think I can do something strong to solve it :S

ladokar> It's a guy, I just love androginy or however you write that

sailorDidi> Thanks ^^

cupcake> Thank you, it was fun to do!
Wasabi> Well, I don't post a lot because I have my own reasons... I just wish sometime what will change. Thank you very much!

welldone, everything is so smooth and detailed, i love it

do you have a tutorial or a making of?

Beautiful MayYeo!! Some of the things that i noticed were already mentioned, so i won't repeat them. Although, someone did say they wanted to see more brushstrokes in your paintings, but if I'm right don't you use cross hatching in your paintings? It only look smooth zoomed out like this. Those count as brushstrokes!

Awesome ! I especially dig the fur and hair.

Wonderful!

Amazing piece of work and wonderful detaailing specially with wolf and fur. But I agree that trees are too flat and I also somewhat agree with ramoncontini.

But as I said wonderful work.

+7/7

Thanks again

panda89> Hum, no, I have no tutorial of it. I have the "process" but it will cause you more fun than another thing If you're interested I can send it to you

Hey thienbao, I never thuoght of it. Tiny crosshatching should counts

Dax> It's an honor coming from you

adiart> Thanks for your crits and comments

The "sunlight" on his face and the fur is awesome! Top marks

meeow! ... nice painting! love the hair efefct. *goog looking guy too* sorry..just had to say it.

It has a 'clinical' look, and i think that is exactly the charm of this style: It's realistic yet 'extremely clean'. I like the subtile approach.
Btw: Do you know wildlife artist Carl Brenders? You should look up his work.

wow may you are so awesome!

+10 love the wolf

very nice, vaguely resembles the character lestat..the wolf is great

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS WORK

May te amo!!!

You have a fantastic style! The wolf is just brilliant. I take my hat off to your skills!

i was just awesomeeeeee
