hm, well, the cartoony style it nice, but i'm having some problems with the composition. i kind of had to look at it for a while before i could really tell what the scene was. i think if you want to have the chicken as the emphasis, it would be better to have them a much more prominent part of the scene. i know you probably wanted to include the whole scene, but by having the perspective way up high, it makes it less obvious that those are chickens. i could tell by looking at them individually, but at first glance it is not too obvious. i think the way to solve this would be to place the point of view so that you have the chickens in the foreground and the scenery more as the background. now, this shot might be good if it were an establishing shot in a comic book, but just for it to stand up by itself is kind of weak. don't get me wrong, i am in no way dissing your skills or anything like that. the art is good, i would just arrange it differently.

Thanks for the crits. Actually my idea was to make this kind of an establishing shot. I may take it to a 3D piece later, but I'm not sure.
