Description Largely inspired by P!nk's song "Sober" (particularly the "I'm safe, up high/Nothing can touch me" lines), but slightly vent art. Zna likes trees, the line seems fitting. (Ko spends most of his time in Zna's shadow or as Shadowflesh. The party has never actually seen him in his falcon form.)

Now there's a few songs I want to do pseudo-music video screenshots of using my characters. Will it happen? Meh, dunno. Lots of other things to draw, but skill and quality desire doesn't match up. 



Things I REALLY need to work on: contrast in backgrounds.

No reference for the pose and it turned out better than I expected and almost as well as I hoped. 

There should be more art from me coming soon. Maybe not every week or so like before, but I should actually post now, even if I destroy what's left of my wrists in the process.

I think the contrast problem is due to the fact that the background trees have darker values and more saturated colors than the foreground tree, when it would usually be the other way around. Also, if you're going for a nighttime look, you could try dark blue on a Multiply layer above the foreground tree (might want a clipping mask for that) and a lighter blue on a Multiply or maybe a Soft Light layer over the background, just to work that atmospheric perspective in.

Thanks for the critique! I'll give that a shot next time I'm doing a nighttime piece. This one wasn't intended to be, but the contrast looked even worse without some darker layers in between.

Thanks again! I really appreciate it!

Thanks, I'm just disappointed that the bird gets lost.

Nice work on the trees and shading ickle

Thanks! Yeah, the bird gets lost, but I didn't know how to fix it because it's supposed to be dark (and I ran out of patience
