Kimonas's Sketchbook

[Fedodika]

Here i'll give you a big ol steamin pile o crits:

First of all, the mountains look really nice, the faces are drawn well, and the texturing ain't bad either.

You definitely need to plan and thumbnail more on the next image bro. This composition isn't working, and here's why:

The viking dudes arm is posed awkwardly, Like, i couldn't imagine swinging a sword like in that mechanical door hinge like pose, it wouldn't kill the shit out of anyone.

The goblin closest to the shield looks like he's goin for a big hug, like i doubt he would get any damage done, say that scene came to life for an instant. There's also not enough contrast throughout the piece, the shield could be brighter, and all the goblins having the same value and color for their hair and face makes it hard to tell there are more than 2 characters in the scene.

The hair of the goblins and the viking are not blurred enough, they look pasted on or as though made of cardboard. Also the spear by the one goblin who's hugging's head looks tangenty and i'm not really sure if it adds anything. (the vikings head on the shield isn't centered, it should be further down and to the right)

Overall, the composition needs more contrast in the shadow part in the bottom. You can only notice there is a third goblin if you really pay attention. Perhaps give them different hair colors/styles to make different compositional choices, maybe even bald.

I bet you learned a lot from this bro, (generic way of wrapping up a crit positively)

Peace
