CGMythology's Sketchbook

The arm resting on hades shoulder is a bit to ''squared'' making it stiffer and loose the ''squeeze''and weight she putting on her arm there also the curvature of the arm in the negative shape that also been lost which also to me just cheapen the realism that could added to the dynamism i feel it important to maintain a good gesture and form even if muscle can be simplified sometime ''shaving of the shape'' take away some life that should have not be shaved off. Personally when stylizing women i say try to keep thing curve rather than straight unless your doing anorexic girl and when something is straight balance it with something that curved.

The dog in the back is he suppose to be that small? . Instead of having the dog be like small i am thinking of making the dog as some kind of like ''familiar spirit'' it like 3 head that protect them but from the astral like in a more ghostly form this allow you justify the way i frame it in the piece instead of having a body that hard to frame and would add more noise.

I feel you have already use those pillar before it getting repetitive that why i am think of the dog to take more space.

Right now hades eye look to be looking no where meaningful i would say it be best if they look at the viewer he as a very dominating gaze and stance leaving is gaze looking else feel a bit like missing an opportunity.

Anyways i play a bit around with liquify on the girl arm and head to see how i could push the shape see what stick and what doesn't.
