I just hacked Photoshop yesterday, so I decided to make two things ^This is a silver dragon from Dragon Cave xD ^ And that's Oki from Okami HE'S GONNA FALL So CnC? And not just that "i like it it nice :):)" crap.
lol photoshop. :3 Actually they're rather good for firsts with that program. My fav's the Oki one for the amount of colours you added on that one. cnc: Well first of all, I'd recommend that you work on the snow falling to the ground. You know, make it look like it's in movement instead of pasted at random spots - when it's up on a mountain top I'm pretty sure there'll be at least some wind. And make the snow in different sizes instead of just one to create that perspective effect, if it's only one size it might as well only snow against a horizontal line instead of the whole area. I KNOW I saw a tutorial about making snow stuff once... I could try to locate it if you want. The mountain... Usually I don't like it if only one object has texture added while other parts don't, especially when the main object (Oki) doesn't have any - the mountain is taking the attention away from him like that. I'm not saying that you have to add texture on everything, but concider to balance each element so that they don't overshadow eachother. I'd at least lessen the texture on the mountain instead of having it that strong when the overall picture has a soft airbrush effect. The lineart I don't mind - it's just the mountain ones that are a bit iffy. It's too strong on this image. I'd recommend that you either a) lessen the opacity of the mountain's lineart, perhaps change the layer setting cause I hope you know how layers work they can make quite the difference in digital art. b) add more detail to the mountain with the lineart, like cracks and hint of the snow - it could help making it stand out less. The colour is fine imo. Only that Oki is emitting a light glow like Shiranui, you may not have intended for that outcome. Just remember that when it's nighttime, it's OK if the objects of the image are dark as well. Because it's frikking nighttime, usually the moon or torchers are the natural sources of light. :3
