Description

Valentine's Ref
EP And Level Tracker
Part two
Part one:

In which Valentine discovers the Valley of the Sphinx, the future location for the Eye of Anubis clan base.

Valentine couldn't control his excitement- this place was amazing! He launches himself into the crystal blue water, and paddles to the farthest shore.

Around him, tall mountains surround the valley, hiding it completely from the outside world.
The flowing water has created an oasis; lush green plants sprout from the sand, filling the valley with vegetation.  

He prances over to the nearest bush, and gives it a big sniff- smells edible. He takes the end of a leaf and yanks it from the roots, however the strong taste fills his mouth like Newt's homemade cough medicine and he spits it out quickly, shaking his head and sneezing.
Well that was a mistake- but whatever; there's bound to be something tasty somewhere in the valley- he wonders what kind of animals may have found their way up here, too.

He can definitely hear birds- birds must like it up here- he hopes that he isn't causing too much of a disturbance. It's warm, and the height creates a nice breeze, he sticks his tongue out and let's it chill in the wind.

Val stretches, running his paws through the sand, and yawns loudly.
This valley sure is nice; he could probably stay here a while.
But then Newt would worry.
He pouts.

Well clearly he has no choice, he must tell Newt about this place so they can live here together! Like a secret base! Val always wanted one of those, but each time he ever made one he'd always forget where it was. He's fairly sure he left a pumpkin in one once, too. Bummer.

Wow I really like the details on this scene. The main figure of the animal already looks right (and unique with the full white color and 'jewel' on the antlers), plus all the rich landscape - you seemed to  use a lot of different brushe shapes and colors and I'd say you effort on these details paid off, it does look quite realistic. Not to mention the shadows, especially the ones falling on the animal, it's really fun & soothing to look at.

If there's something I'd suggest to 'improve' that would be the concept: if you intended this as a story of discovery you might want the character's expression to be seen instead of turning back on the audience like this. This way the character only seems just happen to walk on a place, instead of being in awe of discovering a place. Plus his gesture is calm rather than excited, making the 'discovery' sense less apparent.

But again technique-wise you've done a great job, I'll give you a thumbs up.~
