All your drawings have this crazy sense of space, a good 3- dimensionality.

The colouring is excellent, but the character...what the hell is he?

your coloring is superb. the sun glowing off of his back/sides is a nice touch and the background overall is very beautiful. very nice perspective as well.

That coloring is epic man. The subtle change in color on the tail and in the body, and especially the slight specularity and highlight you gave his torso, just great work man. You're something to aspire too, buddy.

likea lot his face and his smile. and I like how you've colored it. you're coloring with mouse, right? its amazing dude.
I have not so many time, so I'll comment this here. I like a lot your idea of drawing tones of characters from animated movies like disney's or Miyazaki's. I loved every single drawing, and I think its so imprtant that someone like you have done this, becouse, I dont know if this is your idea, but anime movies need more advertisments becouse 2D is dying... and all we need the essence of 2D movies. Have you seen Nocturna? its a Spanish movie. The history its not so good, but the backgrounds and the animation is great. Sure you could work in some anime movie. Your speed is your best weapon, I guess.
Well, you must be bored reading this, sure there's nothing that someone haven't told you, so I should say Bie, keep drawing so good, and keep submiting tones of drawings everyday.

Nocturna has been something that I've been wanting to get a hold of for the past year and a bit.
But unfortunately It seems to be incredibly hard to get my hands on.

I guess I could do something... but mine is in spanish and sutre you wont be able to understand... but look here, you just have to download Pando, it is a program like bittorrent, and click this [link] ...Maybe you have to get a registration in the page.
good luck

That's a really interesting character design...the things that some folks come up with. 
The lighting thing someone else mentioned... it wouldn't have even been an issue to me if I hadn't read that comment, but now that I did, I can't help thinking he was right. It's funny how things can go totally beneath your notice until someone else brings it up, and then it's all you can think about...
But it doesn't take anything away from the quality of this piece, which is extremely high.

Oh no it's true what the comment said.
but would this piece look any better if it did follow how actual lighting works?
I doubt it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know...I think if the front of the character were a tad darker--not totally in silhouette, but just a shade or two shadowed, it might look even better than it does. It would make for sharper contrast.
I think it was Da Vinci that said art is never finished, only abandoned... there's always more you could do.
But there's no reason to push it any further, either, as it definitely gets the job done as is.

I'm an artist myself and I'm completely happy with it... If it were something that I felt detracted from the picture then it might be worth changing. It's a valid crit in that it makes sense. Aesthetically I think it works pretty well as is.

But then it would lose more of the focus off the character.
Indeed, the IS more i can do. With practically any piece.
But this is what I and both the client was satisfied with.
It got the job (literally) done.

You are done good work...i like luster effect in this pic

Its a good picture. However, your shading is illogical. With such a hard light behind him he would be silhouetted and none of his features would be highlighted as they are in this picture. Great work, just something to keep in mind.

something to keep in mind
Stylistic versus realism, This piece isn't realistic. Sure possibly to an extent it may be, but as an Image, I'd much prefer to choose a stylistic choice.

Reminds me of a draenai.
~Brilliant work, the lighting on his trace are a bit over-pixelated, but otherwise admirable.
