Description
made my first large scene, and with my love of ocean themed items i decided to go with oceanic dragons in their natural home. Had so much fun with this, and sculpting wise took about three days with an additional day for resin and glazing. Sorry my camera couldnt focus so well on the mother dragon, and the shot with the baby was taken outside to show the full sparkle of the waterfall.-SOLD-

What an amazing and detailed sculpture have you made! I think I am in love with all of it's colours. Something I notice when looking at your presentation though is that the photos seem to lack a bit of sharpness. Everything appears to be extremely soft, which makes it feel like some of the details are getting lost in that, which is a shame! I would also recommend that you try work with a bit more even lighting- outside on a cloudy day is always a perfect moment to shoot photographs of crafts such as yours. Since it’s so shiny, you currently get a lot of reflections, while on a cloudy day, these won’t be so prominent. I love the fact that you worked with glow in the dark! I feel like that adds an extra dimension to this piece.

Hi! Thank you for requesting feedback from !
You did an excellent job with this piece! I really like the details on your oceanic dragon and the rest of the aquatic life, and how seamlessly you incorporated the shells into the sand and rock. The translucent fin and water really add to the realism of your piece, and the bioluminescence effect is really neat as well.
Since you asked for feedback, I have a few suggestions for you. First, I suggest using consistent lighting for your collage photos (not counting the glow in the dark photo). The photo on the top right has some harsh shadows that contrast against the softer shadows in your other photos. If possible, I suggest using a light reflector to soften some of these shadows. Another trick is to use a darker color background (perhaps medium blue to go with your ocean theme), as the shadows cast by your piece will become less visible even if you use strong lighting.
Second, I suggest adding some information about the size, dimensions, and weight of your piece in your description, as I cannot tell how big your piece is from the collage alone, and potential customers want to be able to visualize how this piece will look like in their homes (and also how much shipping, which partly depends on the weight of the piece, would cost). One way to convey this information is to photograph your piece alongside an object of known size, such as a ruler or your hand.
Lastly, some of the photos in your collage are unevenly distanced from the edges. It's a very minor detail, but when it comes to presenting a piece that's for sale, you want your presentation to be as polished as possible and remove anything that could potentially distract the viewer from your beautiful work. For a good collage-making site, I recommend befunky.com.
I hope this helps, and keep up the amazing work!
