Here is a link to some useful tips to improve http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-3-page-8.html


The pose in the first image could be rework the energy from the creature and from the character do not seem to fit in harmony (the character is kinda in defensive stance and the animal is kinda ready to attack)

For only 15 your art is amazing. I'm 24 and no where near as good as you. Impressive!! Keep it up...!!

I hope you enjoy your stay here. I've only been here a few short days but my improvements have come on leaps and bounds thanx to these wonderful people :) I look forward to seeing more from you :)

Do you have a sketchbook here? Do you have a deviantART?

If you click on the big picture of "CRIMSON DAGGERS" at the top of the screen it'll take you to the main page. At the top is the same banner, followed by a shot box and under that is the forums. Scroll on down until you find the one that says SCRAPBOOK (or go here http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/forum-10.html) - from there create a new forum thread. Entitle it what ever you wish your scrapbook to be called... this can be your name, something whitty or simply Genicecream's Scrapbook ~ you can change this at any time. Now you've created a forum thread in the scrapbook area simply write a little about yourself, you work or what ever you wish (this is your personal space) and don't forget to include some pictures you can use deviantART as a host. And click submit. You've done!! Yey...

What to do next... people should comment/write and encourage you, linking tips.. tricks.. tutorials and examples and such forth. Also you should post in the comments updates on any wips (works in progress), sketches, doodles, finished pieces, previews, ideas etc etc... from that you should be working towards improving your creative skills... and others should be commenting along the way. Don't worry if they don't - usually that means they haven't really anything to say to help you improve on that piece. But don't be discouraged. If you want help there's other forums plus there's the shout box which anyone online can see and assist you.

I hope that's not overwhelming. It is much more simple!! Honest :)

Nice painting of the character sitting on the throne. The proportions and natural feel of the character is really nice! It's very cool. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more!
