        @Naroth-Cow This work is gorgeous because your personality shines through. It would be such a loss if someone convinced you to take your personality out of it!

        I don't think the turtle is creepy, just less dreamy than the rest of the illustration. I agree with Leontine that it may just be too much attention on the turtle relative to the rest of the piece. I think you could keep the detail but dial back the contrast (more in line with the turtle detail in Help the Shiny).

        The turtle's gaze also might be making him look a little aggressive. Maybe you could soften him a bit by changing where he looks.

          thanks guys I went to fix a bit in other piece I finished yesterday, and yes I see the outline of the turtle was a bit too harsh compared to the fox. You guys are awesome!

            Great color use!

            Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

              @Naroth-Cow Another gorgeous piece. This series is so magical. I love the transition between water and sky where the turtle is splashing in. I don't understand where the fox is, though. Is it the bottom of a waterfall? Or is he under the water?

                @Maile-McCarthy I think he's on the edge of the water, putting the turtle back in.

                @Naroth-Cow This is my favorite one so far!

                  "Make a wish then toss me into the river" said the turtle.
                  This is a better version but still working on it.

                    @Naroth-Cow really love your work - the style is fantastic and the colors just pull me into every one of the scenes you have shared. So beautiful!

                      Oh, yes, I see it now. Also, I love the addition of the butterfly.

                        I think you work is coming along well now, its important to keep you viewers focus on what story your telling.

                        Never give up, always push yourself two steps further than you believe you can go.

                          This will be my last post on this or I am going to spoil it but I will miss everyone tip and critique. I have lost so much confident for the last couple years ago, but this time I have to trust myself in decision making. Thank you so much everyone!
