      @braden-hallett Wow, I was shocked when you said you restarted, but the new one reads much better! I also prefer the colours in the new one.

        I like the changed in the clouds, definitely looks better I totally get the need to restart. I’ve had a tough time figuring out the right balance of linework and picking color with my style. Iz not easy lots of pieces and this struggle makes the art way better at the end. Dont forget to trust yourself 🙂

          It's amazing how never ending this whole process can be.

          It's always fun when it turns out your 'final' piece is actually the rough draft 🙂 Kind of a lot like writing, actually...

            Literally my struggle 🙂 It's getting close to kind of working, I think.

              Yeah you got it happening mostly already actually. Keeping it simple and minimizing the use of soft edges worked best for me. I ended up using flatter colors and this let my lines do most of the work. Kinda like comic books do.

                Great Work! I was gonna suggest moving the lone deer and tree, plus softening the clouds. It's like I didn't even have to suggest it because you had already done it with the new piece.

                The new one has a great focal point. My eye is immediately drawn to the shadow of the bird with your use of values. And the rest of the detail supports how massive this creature really is. Like I said great work.

                      So many little painting touch-ups. Calling it done, though 🙂

                        @Braden-Hallett I love it! You really captured the idea and feeling of "Big"

                                @Braden-Hallett I'm amazed by the progress from your thumbnail to this stage. I also saw the final image and really loved the final product!

                                  @Braden-Hallett the new version really added some nice dynamic between the foreground/background. Again, nicely done!
