Hey Daggers Family <3.
I figure it's time to gather some feedback on what I consider 'finished'.
To let you know a bit about my goals when giving feedback, I'm aiming to hit artistic aesthetics that are loose, yet finished. Kind of like Jaime Jones or many of the 19th century masters. I've got a HUGE love for Japanese and Korean character design too, but I haven't really implemented much of that yet.
For career goals, I want to work for MTG and Applibot-- though I also want to break into fine art in the next 3-4 years.
As far as subject matter and fundamentals go I'm shooting for:
- More figures in the compositions
- More dynamism and action
- Greater narrative and emotion
- Better interiors and more object-populated/believable scenes.
Anyway, fire away! This is the best I have right now.
