KyTran, I like how you painted the mask and feathers. I think your work would look stronger if you use more defined lighting and add some cast shadows or something. Right now it's hard to tell from what direction the lighting is coming from

ImSkeptical, I really like the details on the Arthur. I think Merlin looks a bit plain compared to him. You could add some more ornamentation and small details to make him more interesting

DertyPaws, I don't know if you checked values, but make your picture just black and white and see if the form is still readable. Right now everything looks a bit flat. It looks like you paid more attention to textures than form itself. Nice try though, and best of luck with your next piece :)

JakeB, you've got nice rendering skills, but proportions are off on both pieces. You've got similar anatomy problems as I do :) and you should study faces some more. They look a bit like toys right now

malan, nice design as always. Don't have much to say :)

PTimm, really like his robe. One thing that you should definitely fix is his arms and hands, they are huge :) you should make them shorter or you should make his legs a lot longer

Thomas, love the way you render. Especially the way you painted the tortoise

DavidFisher, nice design. I think you could push the contrast a bit more

mateusrocha, some cool details in here :) you should fix the face though. Use some refs or mirror and you will probably see the problems yourself






here's my character, I tried to push it as far as I can. Used some reference for anatomy, but still not happy about it
