Description
Personal work! I would love to work for Wizards of the Coast someday but never felt quite ready to start submitting. I believe that this piece is a solid addition to my portfolio, and with it I feel just a bit more confident that I may have what it takes - if not now then perhaps in the future. Won’t hurt to start showing what I can do
.Much of it was made during streams - if you'd like to catch me working some time be sure to follow me on either Picarto or Twitch .

For what it is worth, i clicked this thinking "Is that art from a Magic card?"

I could definitely see this on a magic card!

This is just my totally uneducated opinion but I think your work is totally read for the big time. It easily matches the quality of a lot of the stuff I've seen from big companies like Wizards of the Coast.

This would look amazing on a magic card or in a D&D book. I do hope you someday (sooner rather than later) get a chance to work for Wizards of the Coast.

The artwork is amazing. I love the shading and the details and mostly the color schemes and effects. I couldn't do something like this, that's for sure.

I actually clicked on this in my recommended thinking it was a D&D work. You are more than qualified to work for WotC in my opinion!!!

Ah, I blathered enough in the streams how nice big beasties are and how this hits all my "big monster, yaaaay" buttons, but watching this again, I must say this: SHE HAS A REALLY NICE SCARF.
THAT IS A REALLY NICELY RENDERED FOLDS ON THAT SCARF
I WANT THAT SCARF

Okay, to be completely honest, I clicked on this because I thought it was art from MTG and I wanted to see the original, and then I read the description! Amazing work, if my word means anything, I think you’d fit in as an artist for WOTC

Stunning ! the ring in the scale remind me how the fremen drive the sand worms inn dune. Great picture and idea.

Thank you! You're not the first to mention it - I'm only vaguely familiar with Dune, I should probably read the books sometime.

Technically I have nothing to complain about this piece, it is wonderfully well made, with great anatomy and painting skills, the scale rendering is top notch, and that woman's foot, omg, is outstanding.
But I have some opinions of what could help to increasse the epicness of this piece, aspects of feelings, but they are only opinions and you can ignore them totally if you think they don't fit.
Ok, I miss a feeling of wind blowing her hair and clothes, they seem to be flying in a considerable speed, and how the birds are flying in this direction ( <<<) i can imagine the wind is helping the birds to fly (maybe), and then her hair and clothes could follow the wind streams or the movement they are doing. And her face, is very well made ( I don't have a complaint about this) looks very determined, but I think it could be pushed more, a more focused expression or the high streams of wind could alter her face expression (it would be very extreme since I know this is a fantasy piece, but just something to think about).
I don't want to depreciate this piece or anything, or that I'm good enough to criticize it, I am not, I still have a lot to study to go near what you have, I just thought that it is a masterpiece already and I'm just trying to leave my thoughts of feeling. I'm even using it as my current wallpaper I got from your Patreon.

Hey Cindy! Thanks for the feedback!
With that said, there's no reason for there to not be any wind even if they aren't flying, so I completely agree that her clothes could have shown more motion

hehe, sorry, I didn't consider that they are not flying, my bad. ^^'
Yes, I do enjoy a lot it and put it as my wallpaper, thank you! ^^

Out of curiosity, what did you use as/how did you acquire your reference for the woman? Such a cool pose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Thanks! I actually made the pose up - though I did use a reference for her face, and I shot references of myself for the hands and feet

Haha! Very similar to what I end up doing... I was just curious! It looks very good.

Wow, you really have doubts you're ready? oO Your art is stunning! Go take the step

I'd say you're already there. On another note, I adore seeing your personal work, not to say your professional work isn't of the same standard. It's just a wonderful window into what drives and motivates you into painting. It's wonderful to see and I'm glad you still make time for them
