Description
We felt it before we saw it, a deep vibration surging through air- a monstrous heartbeat.It has emerged from the sea and followed the moutnains, its immense footsteps immentently aimed toward the village. We flew past swiftly, daringly, into its shadow, the cranes shivering underneath their saddles. The assesment was grim. There is nothing we can do to stop it but hope it turns to spare our lives.

The Black Critical appears.
This state is new and needs exploration, as it's drastically broken form from traditional criticals. Originally I wanted to draw glowy heart and veins, and it came in to this.
Trying to kick my ass in to the next level and actually work at full force [or: detaildeath, argh!]. Will do things somethings differently next time, but I'm hoping this is a good start.
Photoshop.

Holy crap woman heart attack.
I saw the mountainside on your LJ but what you've done with it is amazing. The details are INCREDIBLE. How many hours do you think you worked? Hooogeeze. Great job

This is most impressive!@!! : OOOOO The detail is amazing!

This is just great. I love how you've handled the interior lighting of his insides on the fur/skin stuff (I can't tell what it is, the texture is so crazy!!!)
Very nice, the background's detail is also mindblowing, but without making it too busy. Oi! Great work!

You've totally outdone yourself, Hazard. If it's not rude of me for saying so, I think this is one of your best.
...Just-wow. Everything is so amazing, right down to the little riders on the birds. I really like how well the perspective is done on the wings, too...and the shading/lighting sources/texture is soooo incredible!
eek, there's just so much I'd like to say, but adjectives are totally failing me right now XD

i think it turned out perfectly! great lighting effects!

The detail in this is incredible. It looks like a lot of work was put into this one. The texture and the lighting work so well together, and it's so accurate. I especially like the exposed insides...they're so pretty and intricate.
The warm colours contrast well with the cool background colours too. It's done well especially because warm colours, by theory, come forward and cold colours recede. I dunno if that was done on purpose or not but it's nifty. 
The birds look great too, I love how not only do they give some sense of scale but they look as great as the rest of the picture.
I guess what I'm trying to say is in short is it's all balanced very well.
The mist at the bottom is a nice touch too. Makes it feel...eerie.
Wonderful work, and a massive improvement- something all artist aspire towards. Congrats!

Thanks so much! I'm happiest to here that you find it balanced- I tried to compose it well enough so that it held together between its largely disparate parts. Weee, thanks again :3

Amazing job with this. YouΒ΄re really queen of digital coloring!

wow....
that is seriously all I can say. I could write something intellignat and useful, but I cna't- because this is *perfect*.
excellent work. this stunning.

This is beautiful. Details and all. The perspective, composition ... hell. It's perfect. The mountains, the face on the Critical, the foreshortening on the closest bird's wing...
I honestly admire you so, so much for how hard you strive, how well you progress, how you claw for improvement after improvement and you just keep getting more awesome.
Totally serious.
Huge kudos to you.
Though you probably don't know it, you gave me the gift of one of the biggest, personal art breakthroughs I've had in almost 5 years. Yet my one victory seems like a baby step compared to your stride.
You inspire me to pick up the pace. You inspire me to keep going though I get frustrated as hell a lot of times. I see in your LJ artlogging that you go through the same motions we all do ... the same steps, the same sketches, and you just stick with it. You SUCCEED. You INSPIRE. You ROCK.
...sorry for random outpouring here, but I've been meaning to say SOMETHING for awhile, and this image ... just ... seriously.
Thank you so, so very much for sharing all of your wonderful work.

Thank you so much for a wonderful comment. I can't express how wonderful it is to hear that my work is doing more than collecting pixel-dust on the net. I love art and so hearing I'm helping other people's is fabulous. Aaaw geeze, warm fuzzies abound :3
(and WHY AM I NOT WATCHING YOU? ftw XD)

gjhehjjkehg RIDICULOUS DETAIL. I fear for your eyesight. Amazing work, tremendously unique. As if one of the great masters decided to draw giant, crazy monsters.

The idea of someone like Raphael or Remberant handling monsterage makes my head explode with glee 
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's too bad they never branched out into that sort of thing.
Oh right... zoom. But still!

Holy geez, the detail on this one. o_o Everything from the Critical itself to that mountainscape you slaved away to hard on. The sharpness of all the textures plus the general trimmedness of the design itself (as well as the pretty colors), and I could venture to say that this is the best picture you've done (from my pointofview). So, so very awesome!

Yeah, I went a little overboard on the detail (I've seen moutnains done in *much* more economic ways I assure you) but it definately is what has been missing. But I can definately agree that it's one of my top pics- that was my goal, since everything else is in one way or another halfassed. New caliber, new par. I can always do more, but I feel less so. My brainz x_x
