Those last two pieces are very cool.  Love the color one a lot!

Dark made some good observations about your proportion/design on the last one — but it sounds like it was done very quickly — so bonus points for that.

I really respond to your usual muted color schemes but would encourage you to continue to explore a wider palette as you did w FUTURION.

Thanks again Jephyr :D Admittedly I have hidden Dark's posts from my view. But checking on it, yeah it wasn't so much a time issue as an aesthetic decision. The square format is for social media - definitely saved more of my colour-vision for things like the Futurion. Had to change the blue areas to a pinkish hue because it was looking too Marvel superhero-y. I believe there's a time and a place for that level of saturation :P 

I really love how you mix motives from different genres - gothic, art novau, horror illustration etc. and come up with something which is your own. Big fan, always add to favorites your works on artstation :D

Likewise, you have an excellent creative vision behind your characters and creatures - even my artstation likes you, it kept showing your spawn of nelflheimr on the front page for me every now and then down the page. Always appreciate your lessons and advice.

Really solid work with your latest, loving the character design and use of colors.  The details are really well done too, the hair is especially really impressive and has a great flow to it.  I think you could have pushed your values a bit further for a more natural look, but that's nitpicking at this point.  Great work overall!

Hey CG, as a social media piece I wasn't all that attached, but I'll take the nitpicking to heed, I could have, but didn't want it too dark for the sake of keeping things soft. i.e. was being lazy for mermay :P I do want to do a more deep-sea version which will require deeper shading. 

loving the last piece it looks perfect for a storytelling illustration you'd see in like a cinematic. had a wee noise through the sketchbook and your style in general is amazing.

Hi Crowbit, welcome [or welcome back], thank you for taking a look. I have been leaning more into illustration appreciate the comment ^,^
