So, I've been a deviant art member for over 5 years now. Its been a long quiet 5 years. For a while there I was only posting infrequently and only the work I thought would get the most response. I was pretty much wrong about most of it. My most popular piece of art involved a creme filled gay innuendo. nonetheless, I continued to post and didn't really see much of a following for the effort. My wife suggested that I post more sketches but I didn't listen and the result was no attention. It wasn't until I met Steve Saunders that everything began to change. Steve is a well known and talented writer and most importantly, he knows the industry a

As many of you know, I'm a full time illustrator. Its lucky position as artists don't often have the luxury of producing work at a full time rate. Often Artists work project to project and are therefore contractual or commission-based in most situations. I,  however, draw content for Facebook games are social gaming is a constantly moving industry. Which means I work in an office 8hrs a day and then I go home to my heaping pile of freelance illustration and graphic design work. Its a pretty tiring schedule. I usually work about 13 hour days where I do a full shift at the office and then pull another 5hrs of comic drawing from home. My work li

I did a 30 day cleanse a few months ago and its left me with an extraordinary inability to digest wheat products. before then I could eat whatever but now. Those days are gone. I've been trying to get used to the idea of no longer having a sandwich (I make amazing sandwiches), hot dogs (love hot dogs) cheeseburgers (don't get me started) and failing miserably but what I find even harder is eliminating wheat in all the stuff you'd never think contained it. Today I ate 2 hershey's kisses and I still have head and neck pain and its been 5 hours!

Some more useful feedback on that awesome picture of the feathered serpent chasing Cuthulu on a giant bat.

I love the perspective of the city. I almost have an explanation of my solution for 3 point perspective written out.

Something that I think that you should keep in mind is to suggest repeating patterns instead of always drawing it in.

The feathers on the wing, and the side scales are both not so great. At various points you have adjusted the size of the scales for distance, but that makes the tail a lot darker than it appears.

By distance: Head, neck, wing, bottom loop, top loop, tip of tail.
Head: Scales & details are great!
Neck: It seems like you struggle a bit with the directional nature of the scales. Might be best to not define all of the scales, perhaps convex areas where the muscles flex, and suggest the pattern?
Wing: The shape of the feathers feels very similar to the scales. I feel that larger feathers may look better.
Bottom loop & rest of tail: Suggest the pattern of the scales.

You have the pattern of fur nailed. I need to try to duplicate that.
thanx for the critique!
you were at the career fair XD
