Description
If you like my photography, please considering purchasing a print Photography is how I make my living and there is no greater honor than having someone hang my art on their walls. Prints come in all shapes and sizes along with all paper finishes including canvas. If you decide to purchase any of my work, I would love to see it! Feel free to send me a snapshot of it hanging and I will feature it on my facebook page.motion video for this image here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijL5we…
This is not a drawing, this is a a photo manipulation of the photos below, the creature is originally a husky that i took a picture of for a customer
The image doesnt have a meaning, no reason for the flames, fire, antlers, etc, i just create it because it looks beautiful to me and because i am hired to do so
The reason the hind legs look as one was because the husky was walking in motion whilst i took the image and it was in low light conditions so very low shutter speed, hence the left leg infront of the right, looking as one
The tail does look out of place because of my skill level, hopefully ill get it right on my next piece

Nicely done. The wolf looks really good and well thought of. I would assume that the wolf paws in the back are covered up by leaves. I personally thought the light level of the colors are a bit over exposed... however it dose fit the the lighting with the tail so it can be over looked. One thing that did jump out at me is the lack of shadows around the wolf from the fire. I'm sure its hard to do, and your skill level with photo manipulation is far better than mine. So, Over all Nice job.Wonderful piece.

I don't have that much experience in this technique so I can just comment on the impact and the composition.
The blinding light of the fire and the birds wings are great, the rough look of it flirts with amateur explosion effects in youtube-videos that you used to watch in the computer room in high school, and I mean that in only a positive way. What always has the most impact on me in art is a detail feeling a little wry.
The woods to the left has an airy and misty feel to it, its hypnotizing and a bit tickling, but the green tree at the top right of that field seems to just end in mid-air, thats a bit distracting.
Also the hind legs of the wolf are really indistinct.
I love the picture as a whole, I want future art movements to be inspired by this style, it's powerful 💚

I usually don't like manips, but this one is very nice. I've always loved the fantasy, autumn-like theme. It's simply magical.

Well, I believe the tail is a bit too stiff, it needs more fluidity in it. While the contrast is good, some of the colours are just too bright, especially the lights on the birds. The rest though, including the composition is brilliant.

You asked my wife for critique, so here it is:
The color play of the trees in the left is great. However the lights of the bird and the wolf are too strong. Whilst mixing different creatures is nice the wolf is stretched too far, meaning it would be better to go with just one additional extra like either the antlers OR the multiple tails. Personally I´d prefer the antlers (reminds me of some folklore sketches how a forest guardian is imagined). Apart from that the red bubbles between the trees in the left kinda look like christmas baubles and I don't really get the idea of placing a fire/lantern in the tree in the left background. Overall a nice piece of fantasy art!

This is a masterpiece! I love it! thou the tails and the hind legs are a bit off.. some cant really tell if there's one leg or two.. And while everything else looks realistic, the tails don't look that much realistic.. Im may not be an expert in this kind of stuff, but you did great! This picture literally blew me away!

Hello:
I can say it is a great image, I like how the Wolf became a part of the background like if it is realistically a part of the image itself.
My only uh-oh would be that the tails look a bit too stiff, specially the ones that are more vertical in the image, because it looks like they were forced into that position.
Otherwise, the image is great . Thanks for sharing it.

Wow~ words can't even describe how much I love your artwork- but I'll give it a shot.
First off, love the animals. You've done an incredible job with the basic body shapes of them (which is something I SUCK at) and I love the birds! Don't get me wrong the (Husky?) is amazing- but I love the way the light from the fire catches on the birds wings and illuminates them! Call me strange, but I'm a lover of the finer details- I pay more attention to the smaller things than the larger ones.
Second- epic job as far as light and color tones go! The way the fire reflects off of the surrounding landscape. The trees and the ground especially caught my eye ^^
As for everything else- I don't want to be to lengthy for fear of going off into a tangent- astonishingly good job on all the tiny details. Every leaf, every speck of soil- the leaf debris and the tiny lights floating in the background. Everything blends in- yet stands out at the same time, and makes me want to examine the picture more thoroughly!
All in all- this is a picture I'd pay to have painted on my bedroom wall. Or, on any wall in my house for that matter ^^

Hey Tomas!
I have to say that I have no experience in photo manipulation, but, for me, your work in general, looks realy nice! Although some details seem a little false, the harmony of colours is great!
And, especially, I congratulate you for your criativity!
Keep practicing, only that way you can be even better

I personally think the eye is slightly too large (only just) and the casting shadow needs more emphasis. But over all, it's awesome

Hmm; well you asked for some input and, well I like that the idea is there, that is most important I guess, knowing what you want to convey that is.
Aside from that, it is a bit rough and sparkly, the colors stand out a bit too much, giving it a busy impression and it is choppy in parts because some parts just don't look properly added on here, are rough around the edges or just the highlights and shades look too artificial.
Then again, I am by far not an expert on this sort of thing and have never given it any chance so I can't really tell you how to do it any better; guess that mostly, it boils down to proper editing and highlighting.
I do like the composition though; the idea that you're going for; so don't lose heart, this could look awesome with the right detail-work.

kcorym [2014-02-24 18:53:28 +0000 UTC]
The use of colour is really good and the composition is very nice
If I was to says something about it that needed improving would be that the far right tree behind the husky needs some light adjustments
as it doesn't quite blend in with the rest of the image.
(I'm not a Premium Account holder so I cant give an 'official' critique I'm afraid )
But really great all the same
