Description This is an unfinished piece portraying Lyra and Will from the Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. They were going to be looking up at the dragonflies and a blue hawk against the sky. Tialys was going to be on Wills shoulder and Salmakia grabbing Lyra's collar. I like it, but I feel there are just too many problems with this picture to keep going, so I have a new one depicting this scene in the works. This one really helped me get a feel for it though and I think it's good as a colour test
constructive criticisms welcome

The composition and colors are amazing, but I see what you mean about something being off (I think Will's face is sort of awkward). I love all the details like Will's fingers, and the hawk just takes my breath away. Can't wait to see a finished version!!

Hi! Thanks for commenting Yah, Will's neck and shoulders just all wrong really, and I'm not happy with how he holds the knife and lyra's bag does not hang heavily enough for the alethiometer inside and blah blah ^_^; I'll just start afresh!

Well being overly critical about your work never hurt anyone. Sometimes it's best to start over with a clean canvas, even if you have a lot of things going right in this version. Good luck!
