Hey man, im sorry its been so long since I last posted here and I feel bad coz it looks like you've been busting your ass lately with the studies and recent pieces. I like the direction your work is moving in too, it seems to have evolved since my last visit.
I noticed you've asked a few times for c and c so I thought I'd share some with you for what its worth ;)
Your latest illustration came out pretty sweet. Its clear to see you put a ton of work into it too which is awesome. I love all these studies your doing too, its very inspirational! The few things which jump out to me as being a bit off are mainly just a couple of anatomy issues, mainly round his left bicep and the size of his hands (which seem small). It looks a little odd too because it feels like there should be some foreshortening there but there isn't. The values didn't end up too badly in the end but the lights and darks of the dude are different from the lights and darks of the creatures which looks a little odd because its making them feel like they don't belong in the same space as him. Finally the stuff at the bottom could do with some more atmospheric perspective to break them up a bit because it looks like one big mass instead of multiple creatures.
Other then that it seems pretty cool man and you did a pretty awesome job with it. Cant wait to see your next one which will be even better, especially with the way your studying! :D
So from looking through the past few pages things I'd recommend you focus on are 1, your structure. Focus on basic shapes and getting those forms to read. When you paint stuff try and visualise them as basic 3D objects to get them forms to pop.
2, On the subject of structure and form, keep hamming those values like you are doing. Again basic stuff like black and white studies and still life's will go a long way with those ;)
Hope his helps man, your doing awesome and your stuff is defiantly improving and I cant wait to see more soon. Take care mate.
