Hey cicakkia,
you doing really great stuff here! I love your dragon sketches and your character designs a lot! Great storytelling too! Keep it up, I like to see more dragons! :D

Wow, the frog painting is really eyecatching, I like the blurred background.

I had some thoughts about some of your sketches. Did a small overpaint. 

Hope it helps!

Hi Zorrentos, I actually already aware there are some mistake on its face. But still t[font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]hanks for doing the correction so people will see [font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif] Really appreciate it[/font][/font]

About rushing, honestly even I wanted rushing, I just couldn't do it on traditional medium especially doing with pen hahaha one mistake I can't undo it easily like on digital media. I need to think harder and more careful putting on my drawing. And I think that really helps me to not rush on my digital art. Of course, I can do this more slower like using pencil to build the base of 3d shape first. But sometimes I don't feel like wanted doing something perfect all the time. Let just say I wanted seeing how far I can get without doing basic structure :P

Loving the recent animal illustrations, great style and posing, with some solid character designs all around. Looking forward to more!

I love how that squirrel has something fierce about it while also looking so cute you just want to cuddle it up :D

That squirrel .❤️. Left pose is super dynamic too.
Reminds me of the redwall books I used to read
