Beautiful work! I love the colours, his posing and his expression. And all the little details really come together and makes this really ppleasing to look at. Great job, keep it up!

The vague background and the  sharper character make for a nice contrast.

terlalu keren! *0*
kapan aku bisa kek gini wkwk
bagus.. pencahayaan nya, trus soft color sama detail background nya.. snowflake nya dibikin dalam banyak sudut pandang,
jadinya itu bener bener detail dan keren banget. 
tapi kalo kritik aku, snowflake nya keliatan kurang real karena kalo diliat dari sudut Draco nya juga,
harusnya snowflake yang di bagian paling depan  itu harus sedikit, sedikiiit lebih kecil lagi. //apasih sok tau ah :v// 
^^' tetep keren banget dari skala 1 sampe 10 aku kasih 9.2

Ooh this looks cool! I like how dramatic it looks. The background with the trees and wind blowing the snow is cool. I think that maybe in comparison to the scale of everything else the snowflakes seem a bit large, but it is cool seeing the details of the flakes!
The swords pointing towards him also add to the effect of putting the focus more on him too. I think the gold for his sword would be great, if you used silver it might blend too much and be harder to make out the details.
I also really like the pose and expression! The blood looks nice too. He certainly has an interesting design.

You've definitely succeeded in creating a very cold, wintry scene for the new year!

But, I feel that the colors are too light overall. The trees and the sky in back aren't dark enough to create the illusion of depth. They also aren't dark enough to emphasize all the light that the magic is casting up front. The foreground is too washed out in light, especially the ground the ice crystals. Don't be afraid to put more colors in very bright magic scenes--just choose more vivid, saturated hues to add color to lit areas. Also, keep the use of brushes to a minimum. The snowflakes are too evenly distributed and disrupt the flow of magic and chains around the sword. They should suggest wind more and emphasize the flow around the character. Like, group them together and have some be angled more. I strongly recommend preserving any flow and movement you have in your pictures because that's a huge part of what makes images interesting.

I really appreciate it! I was unsure whether i should make darker background,  because the storm might washed out the trees on background. I'll try to apply your advice in my future wintery drawing ^^

It seems like he's in such an epic battle and there is no way of him giving up. I really love the intensity of this piece <3

theAnimeNut In reply to ??? [2016-01-12 03:02:55 +0000 UTC]

I don't know where to begin on this amazing piece.

I love how you made the snow blur, and the way you made the trees slowly fade into the sky is perfect. I also noticed how you made the chains look as if they're moving, which is very convincing, I can already imagine them getting whipped around by the wind and Draco's movement. I really like the sword sheath too, the colors and the design complement each other well.

His eyes just seem to be full of one thing, tiredness. But at the same time, underneath there seems to be a slight realization that giving up is not an option.

The only thing that looks to be a little off to me is the left side of his face, it sort of just seems to blend into the blue background too much. If you outline it maybe a darker blue, or a slightly darker skin color, I think it should fix it.

But overall, great work!

Hello, I am here from project comment :thumb563445954: 

First of all, I want to say that I really like the composition and the dynamics of this piece. It is very emotional. The way the character clutches the sword, and the light whirling around it are great! However, I think that you could work on the anatomy of the character a little more. The pose looks okay, but there is something missing from it - it does not look very realistic. I think that if you used a reference photograph, of yourself for instance, you could make it look better. Also, there is little depth in this picture. The character looks flat, and so does the hair and background. I think you could increase the contrast a little more to accent the depth.

Otherwise, I really like the color scheme, which I think you captured very well. I look forward to seeing more of your work!

Which part should i increase the contrast, is it the background?

Lilia-DeRosso In reply to fireytika [2016-01-14 19:35:12 +0000 UTC]

Yes, the background, and maybe more on the character itself. I think that you should definitely add more shadows in the hair, and on the sky.

Good work!!

The best critique comes from you...
I would stand back and look at it from different angles...
See if your subject stands out like you want it to...
And look for areas that seem "to busy"...
