      @Kim-Rosenlof thank you for that helpful feedback! Yes that is the moon, I’ll have to adjust it somehow to accommodate the foot... I may be too far into it to relocate the traveler, I’ve been working mostly on one layer. Maybe I can play with sword a bit to make that stand out a more.

          Working on another piece for may.481F39F3-3400-4592-B5B0-9613F849FAFE.jpeg
          I need to darken her a bit I think, they are a bit similar in value. But anything I may need to adjust as far as composition?

                Any thoughts on colors for the goblin and the girl in the tree?

                  @Asyas_illos I feel like the girl is really scrunched against the edge of the image. It almost creates a tangent. You might want to scotch her down a little.

                        Here’s the one I sent to critique arena website, my daughter brought it to my attention that the hood of the girl in the tree just didn’t work because she had all that hair flowing out of the back and down in front! So we changed to to a beanieC2D6F6AE-8B6E-4885-BA88-549548683B33.jpeg
                        Looking at it now I wish I would have darkened the goblin, more...

                          @Asyas_illos Looks great ! I'm terrible with painting and colour, but a line work thing that may be worth trying is to add to really subtle contour lines of the tree to help indicate the angle more. Might not do much but could be worth a try. Hope it goes well, excited to see it when it's done!

                            @brettb_draws thanks for the idea that would have been a good addition but I’ve already sent it in!

                              I’m working on this next piece for may but I’m not sure about the shadows placement. They are just rough sketches at the moment I think I need to get som reference...

                                  My latest entry, I’m stuck in this composition, all of my entries seem to have the same flow to them not sure if that’s good or not, but definitely need to break out of it!

                                        @Asyas_illos of all your pieces for this month, this one has the best storytelling (in my opinion). With just a glance, the composition is totally readable and you know what the character's feeling and what she's about to do. Well done!

                                        Don't know if you've called this one "done" or not, but you may want to try playing with size even more. What if the flowers are even bigger, especially showing a gradual reduction in size as you move into the background? That would really communicate that she's a small character facing off against much bigger foes.

                                        ❤️

                                            @Asyas_illos really interesting. Would love to see the finished piece one day! You could make this a series of narrative illustrations for your portfolio. (Or just to do because you like it! Art doesn't always have to be for our portfolios.) 😊
