(This thread have been merged with several others)

Okay to prevent image flooding. I figured I'd just have one thread to post WIPs, since I have many projects going on and for your appreciation and orientation. Below is a few of my works which I'm working on from time to time.

Feedback, constructive criticism, or just a slight comment is strongly encouraged and much appreciated.

I think the jaw has loads of perspective issues and juts out too far from the skull anyways. The claws on that close rock are a very nice touch, I like that the most. Also, try to give it some depth; take a look at the face on it and you'll notice that it looks incredibly flat. You need to paint a feel of 3 dimensions across the drawing, that's very important.

Good stuff otherwise.

His jaw is indeed a bit weird, especially how it curls up. If he where to try and close his mouth, he couldnt.

Lol at the tiny crusader to indicate scale, nice touch P:

Hmm. Well I had planned on something like the Pagemaster. But I like the picture I get when I imagine an epic battle.

A ferocious predator has forced the last remaining warriors of a once organized assault force, to flee into the Blood Mountains attempting to make their last stand. The idea is to force the creature to slip, thus crushing it on the mountainside. Such mad hope... but it's their only chance to achieve victory... or survival...

"Ballista's ready, sire!"

"Send that foul beast back into the abyss!"

Having both his hands on one cliff face while he's facing another seems a bit unnatural - if he was going after the helpless knight his right claw would most likely rest in the hole in the upper cliff face.

Make more soldiers! Also, the current one really contrasts with the terrain, so shade more lands!

The random skull next to the patch of grass just adds so much to the drawing, love it!

And make him snort some flames.

Look at some pictures of rocks and see how they are composed. I think that generally helps the most to see how shading and such should be developed on such intricate surface types.

dude wtf, you serious? Dayum, I should get into this too...Though architectural renderings are MUCH more profitable, you get at least 800$ for a pack of renders here, but usually around 1000$.

I'm not kiddin'. My friend needs some artwork for a book he's making.

But that's not all. Web design can give you a nice little income too.
I'm getting 10.000 DKK (2077.36$) for making a website for a Yoga Educational School :P
Atleast, that is what I'm demanding.
