trying to reply to this thread is hell :D
Gliger: Love the cyclops community.Your style seems pretty clear so nothing to add.
Punk: Love your Linework! its got a really old school vibe like Teryl whitwatch, completely throws you. Its a nice illustrative style. In terms of design i think work on the silhouette of the creature and kind of make it more unique its a little flat at the moment. Like i was thinking about it and thought Maybe it can have one of those swivelling chameleon eyes? And maybe add scutes and make the spikes less uniform.
EDIT: Also Punk work on the composition for the environment. there is no direction or movement through the piece so it comes across as static.
K so i have some resources to share they help me a lot when worldbuiilding.
1 is a Mindmap which is basically a storybible. (so you need a free program called freemind to use this you can find this here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeMind) there are also other alternatives like docear etc that you can use.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeplane
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Docear
the other is a pureref file whick is like a moodboard program. It has a collection of helpful images about worldbuilding.
