Impressive work though!

This one is great bro! aside from the watermark, I don't have nay other comment..

this is a good work indeed! agree with them, lose the watermark, it increases the highlights when it's not needed.

you have a good talent and eye for details, and I know this image can be pushed further. So here are some crits.

1. the tail connection is off. adjust the curve that connects it to the body. even if I dont see where or how it connects, the tail on a complete 90deg angle would not connect well with the bone structure.
2. Im missing some definition with the creatures contact / cast shadow. though this image works without it much, probably its just me.
3. creatue chin/jaw highlights is too strong. notice kumakalas sya from the body kse hindi pumaparehas with the light source. tone it down.
4. mind the sharp edges. images has a good painterly feel pero pagdating sa claws nya nawala consistency. it's a give away using lasso and layers. I know we all use that but we need to blend it a bit more.
5. ganda ng depth ng image, but highlights from the creature's back are over exposed, at humahawa na with the one from the background. or probably its your watermark that is doing it, I cant tell. you may want to also adjust your black levels ( levels are probably just me )
6. be consistent with the sharp and blurred parts lang.

I hope I didnt offend or sound rude here. just some things I noticed ( or probably it's just me )

looking forward with your next work, bro!

WOW Jeff thats a good critique... I'm sure it will be more of a help than be offensive... I would love to get criticism like that...

Nice concept! Suggestion ko lang sana nilagyan mo ng depth yung foreground. What I mean by that is making things in your foreground darker in value in comparison to your middleground and background which are relatively lighter. That way you can suggest contrast, depth, and distance. Mas darker sa foreground kasi mas-malapit sa atin.

The first image you see is your image in grayscale. The second one is where I made adjustments. Basically, I just darkened the foreground and receded some elements into the background like the jungle vines at the top right. You'll now notice that your focus is on the creature and the little flying insect. When I look at the original my eyes started to go everywhere like on the really dark jungle vines and especially at the stuff in the foreground that's another reason why I darkened it. Pag-isipan mo kung saan mo gusto i-focus yung mata ng mga viewers. Prioritize mo yung focal point/s mo. Yung mga detalye, secondary na yun kasi they're not as important. Parang sa movie may lead actors ka and supporting actors. Syempre yung focus ng kwento nasa leads mo. Yung supporting actors pang-support! Bigyan mo ng visual hierarchy yung bawat elements ng picture mo. Yung nasa taas ng hierarchy syempre mas-importante kaysa sa iba.

Anyway, good luck with your other work!

hi
nice suggestion you have ^_^; thank you so much

but honestly, respecting the title and the concept as well
i have to show also the rock on the ground 'cause if you caught the humor
of this, its entitled "small, Big & BIGBIG"
the subjects here are not just that wispy creature and the sliver/rat kind
of creature but also the feet of the giant which i technically where that wispy creature is looking (above), thats why i need to show those fingernails on detail also.. if youre eyes are vigilant also, youve seen that on the first look... ^_^;

but anyways thanks sa suggestion ulit bro, it will really help.. ^_^;
more power!

That's a good idea of a concept. but honestly, it's hard to tell. lalo na pag madami ang focus. a good illustration is something that could lead an audience to a specific focus/subject, thus making the art understandable. good luck!

Oh, now that you've mentioned it, I didn't notice the feet at all, LOLz. so thats why its Big big... nice concept dude... I should have looked at it more intently. although the advice you got was pretty solid too...

wow, saan nyo o ginawa ito sir?

haha
i did it intentionally not to over notify the feet of the BIGBIG thing to test how artists connects my title to the elements i did..
i usually ask my friends to locate the bigbig thing everytime i share this to them. but here i didnt mind explaining everything that's around in this piece to see the overviews of different great great pinoy artists.. hehe

and i remember i have its deadline for the La Salle's exhibit before so i have to rush everything without knowing that some adjustments are already disregarded and left unnoticed.. so now i got lots of great great criticismsssss hehehe and i love it! thanks sa lahat! ^_^;

and lastly the title was inspired from the commercial BIG BOY, with two kids talking about this bubble gum thing.. hehe

thanks guyss!!!!

oh, me-me-me... nakuha ko gad at first glance... hehehe nice art u got here. Congrats!

And very detailed comments from our Sir Jeff right there... sure to help us all with those kind of tips..
