Description
So here it is! It is finally finished!So here we have the father: Draken (left), the Mother: Dinimo (back), and female offspring: Topaz (Right).
Heheh I really liked how this came out. This was the first time I've ever really tried shading an entire drawing. I think it came out good though
Though mind you, I know there can be so much more room for improvement, but that's for the next projects I'll be posting up x) I just hope to make then soon look more realistic. I would also like to thank those of you who have helped me through this piece! Thank you so much for your help and critiques!
Please critique me! I would love some opinions on how this turned out and how I may improve for next time.

Youuuu need to use bigger paper! 
Still, I love the families. Even though only the male was your character, more or less, it's a whole new type of creature and family that you've been able to create in your artwork. It is lovely, and invigorating to read and learn about.

I think it turned out great! Something I think you should work on now is giving your subjects... and "environment" this doesn't always have to be a full-blown background or setting, it just has to be something to dispel or break up the bright white negative space. It can add a lot to a piece, and give it a really good, finished feel. This can be as simple as adding some shading to the "floor" or just in the background. Here's a few simple environments in my works:
[link] - just a flat, colored background with a bit of texture.
[link] - this one was kind of required, because he's fading into it, but it's an example of a simple shaded background.
[link] - another shaded background, see how much a difference it makes, that picture just wouldn't be the same if they were standing there on a white page.
[link] - this one had a kind of vague definition to the floor, and a bit of texture as well.

Yea I see what you mean... I gotta say though, your shading is awesome c:
Thank you for the critique, I'll keep it in mind from now on. I'm still practicing and hoping to only get better. Thanks!

o0o0o love the shading of these creatures
I would suggest you crop out the spirals to the sketchbook next time though, just for a nicer presentation of the drawing.
But other than that it's awesome!

this looks pretty good, i'm happy to see the changes that were made. all i have to say for that end of this one is focus on the light source. everything about this looks good the only thing you might think about for future drawings is the light source.

I understand. x) Thank you so much!

I like how you shaded it :3
Looks well done in depth, though I still see some multiple light sources (But overall, it's even in that way correct).
You did a great job on anatomy and muscle definition, but in my opinion, Topaz's arm looks a bit wrong placed.
The detail is great; these are very nice and quite imaginative creatures.
Keep that up, I'd say ^^

x) Thanks!!! Yea I know Topaz's leg is kinda funky but I just left it this way. And I know there are many light sources as well, I get that all the time... But then again, many light sources may not be such a bad thing if I get them right xD
Thank you ;D
