Description
YESSSSSS IT'S FINISHED~After 4 days of working on and off on this, I finally have it finished!
It's Mother Nature depicted as a gryphon
I dunno what she's sad about - perhaps the fact that humans are destroying Nature? Make what you wish of it c:
Hope you like
And critique please?

I am not a member so i cannot OFFICIALLY critique, but I think this piece is very nice. What I like the most is how the tail becomes the trees, The wings, and the claw in the water. What I am not too crazy about is the flowers on the head.. I don't know I just think it would have looked better without that there and perhaps around the neck on the vines or something. The overall background is very nice and the lighting is just about perfect, perhaps a very little bit darker in the back. GOOD JOB!

It's always been a trap XD

Haha sure, are there any specific ones you want crits on?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No, I want it on ALL of my art (muhahah) accept photography (unless you want to, I don't care) and Scraps (because I already know they suck XD)

Okay, I'm not very good at critique but I'll give it a go XD
I noticed that on your hind legs (on animals), they look kinda rounded at the top, like this:
O

Where hind legs would normally look more like a human leg on toes, like this:

\

I also noticed that on your wolves, the wrist joint on the front legs is a little higher up than it would normally be.
The heads/faces and bodies on everything look good, especially the eyes ouo
And a final tip would be to practice, practice, practice. Carry a sketchbook everywhere (Very useful for long restaurant waits XD) and draw weird poses and hybrid animals and things. Draw at least 1 thing every day, even if you have an art block. Force yourself to draw if you have to >
...Okay, that little speech may have been a bit cheesy. But it's 100% true X3

wow, thanks a lot. I'll take another look at my wolf anatomy and fix the legs the best that I can. I really appreciate the help, and now the sketchbooks I never draw in anymore (I use computer paper now mostly XD) will have a great use. I'm glad you like the eyes because I have some trouble on this one picture, and I just can't get the eyes right, but the rest is awesome and it really sucks XD
Also I appreciate you telling me I am doing a good job on the heads and bodies because I have trouble making sure the proportions look right, especially with the tummy, I usually have to make it furry or else it doesn't look right.. I am just worried when I draw the hybrids and such in new poses, the anatomy will be all wrong and I won't ever improve...
(That was the bestest speech, don't worry XD)

Okay, so I drew a new picture of a wolf and I tried my best to make sure the legs were right this time.. while I was drawing it I had a question to ask you... OH YEA! What do you think of my paws? I just couldn't get them yesterday o3o

Okay, uhm... paws are hard to describe, so I'll just show you with a picture XD I'll comment with it on your page.

It seems like she is about to fall in the water. Mother Nature depicted as a gryphon... thats a good one! I love the background and the trees! Great art.

I've got a quick question for you. How did you do the water on this? It looks so amazing!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can't remember that well since I did this a while ago, but I think I used a semi-transparent light blue layer, but to fit the pond c: The reflection was just the gryphon copied + pasted, then flipped and transparency adjusted to match the water C:

WONDERFUL! Mind My Asking But, What Drawing system do you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It is so amazing that the gryphon is part of nature making the whole scene come together so well. I agree with most on the fact that you pulled the emotion not just from her face but in the whole scene as the water adds greatly to its sadness. What I really enjoyed was the lightlight spots within the picture making the sun more real. The back paw could have had a bit more detail but it is all a wonderful piece of art. very well done.

gryphon! <3 I've been into gryphons a lot lately

I've liked gryphons a lot lately too... c:
Perhaps you could do chimaeras? I've been wanting to to chimaeras now... maybe I'll go draw one today XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmm what are chimaeras?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're lion-goat-snakes. They have the body of a lion, with hind legs as goat legs and front legs as lion legs or dragon legs; they have two heads - one lion head and one goat head. Sometimes they have wings (either batwings or feathered wings) and they have a snake for a tail. Also, sometimes they'll have an additional dragon head.
I know that was a bit confusing, so here's some pictures XD: [link] [link] [link] [link]

The only thing I could suggest would be having the light reach further in to the trees.
