Artist's Comments

Taking advantage of my bodged-up mouse, I wanted to try something... more free. More emphasis on form. I thought I'd try to do a remake of [link] in a style similar to [link]

I like how it turned out. i hope it looks okay on everyone's screens! I have two different screens, and it looked really pale on one, and really high contrast on the other. SO I dunno. I couldn't see any facial detail on one screen... I hope you see some.
Nyaha... those waves look funy. Almost like mountains. Ah well...
Oh noes! I forgot to smudge some of the clouds! Again, oh well.

Advanced crit on, as usual, but I studied this for a while after I finished it, so bear in mind I prolly know a lot of the things wrong.

This is beautiful!

I really have no crits for this - except maybe add some white highlights to the horizon on the water by the sun to make it "pop." But other than that everything about this piece is wonderful.

You don't even notice the unsmudged clouds. =)

Great light sourcing! Stylish water. The eye on the griffin scares me, though. Makes it look zombie-ish =P . But, then again, I suppose it also reminds me of the Chozo (Metroid series).

Man, why haven't they had a real, live Chozo in any of those games? The closest we got were those living statues (Super Metroid) and the corrupted Chozo Ghosts (Metroid Prime). -_-

Oooo... that would be a good idea!
Thanks much!

I did do more vibrant eyes to start off with... but they didn't look any good. Zombie eyes all the way. :D

I have no idea what you're talking about int he last part, though... O.o

This is one of your best pieces of work!! I really love this. The lighting, angle, and the freedom that the griffin brings to the picture is really nice.

This is quite fantastic!

The closer waves look a bit repetitive, but that's a very minor crit.
