CGMythology's Sketchbook

[darktiste]

Your axe is totally offcentered but i realize i am not that great with axe either.Also adding a thickness to your leather always help sell volume i doubt it paper thin also don't make the leather buldge unless they are not thigh it wrapping around a flat surface not a ball.You helmet horn socket should also show some thickness i know you seem to hate ellipse but they really help you sell volume and they ain't that hard really.

The pose doesn't look very stable it on a inclined and is torso is facing toward us but under the pelvis her isn't allign in it center of gravity i feel like he moving toward us so i feel like the pose doesn't give us that impression of unstoppable power i think would benefit the piece.

I opted for a front facing pose to put an accent on the muscle which i dislike being hidden behind the other leg.That a suggestion of course.

I also felt this needed a more symetrical composition to imply stability and strength.

Also i don't know if you notice but i hit the shoulder with a liquify tool to try to give your head and shoulder a more defined foreshorten which in my own version really help push him forward.

Changed the bird to be more balanced again to reinforce that aspect.

A trick for your composition is to flip your canvas it should work once it mirrored this also a great tool to look for the center of balance in the pose.

I feel like a volcano or a thunderstorm could be very nice personally i would go for the thunderstorm due to the bird not being vulture they remind me of a magic the gathering card name storm crow that why.Maybe they could be elemental thunder bird
