Something I've been working on and off for 2 months or 3 I think. Just I dunno, drew the hyena like thing at home and drew it a bit more. So I decided to throw it on Sai and see what I could do with it.
And random BG cause I wanted to practise stuff. Yeah there's no real Lighting source, if there was it would be coming from behind or VERRRYYY high up :U So there's just random. I wasn't trying to consistent with stuff. Just seeing what I could do. Practise Clouds and sky aswell , Im happy with the clouds I need to practise more but anyways :'D Very happy with this. I decided to stop fiddling with it today. Simply because Ive been fiddling with it for my midterm break and decided I had enough work done with this for now. So yeah The little critter in the front is ment to be like a weird Heron-hyena-bat-dog-thingy I dunno, named it Hyát if that's it's name or a species name Im undecided on (Unoriginality lolo ust scrambled the names togeter ~)
Right I felt like being nice to give you a critique. ;w;
First of all it's really perty, the island is nice and you've added good detail to the housing structure in the distance. The colours are all harmonizing with each other so there's no big inconsistency with the piece. Though I'd like to mention a few things you can improve on.
I'm not sure, but the back leg there seems a little strange- I think it's been pushed too far back or it's leaning over to the left more than it should. So you can improve by making that lean less prominent. But your Hyat hyena bat thing is nice indeed.
I can see that you added part of the cloud reflection into the sea, which is nice, but realistically, this only happens when the water is still. judging by the wavy lines you've added, it's not so still. But it doesn't have to be so still to show a reflection, just enough. Seas only really reflect the sky's colour a little, if you see some photographs.
And what I would also like to add is, about the island, have you ever heard of that distance theory? the more further away an object is, the more faint it becomes? so I would show a little transparency or pinks similar to the sky to get that distance feel. It doesn't have to be too much, just enough. If you don't know what I mean, look at this: [link] Look at the colours, and it's all to do with the atmosphere. I would say, the grass at least, needs to be less bright.
it's a nice idea though and the sky is so pretty! I just think a few of the flaws I mentioned needs work on ;; don't kill me
