Character - Datil Flying

Very cool monster! ^^

The thing that immediately jumps out, is that it's very hard to see from which direction the main light is coming. I can see that you have a strong back light going, but then you have these bright areas up front and under the wings? So I'd say you need to consider the lighting conditions some more.

You'll usually want to shade it with one major lightsource in mind, and maybe add some secondary lightsources and fill lights later. Without that type of approach, it's very hard to give it volume, and it might end up looking dirty instead.

I'm also a bit puzzled over the structure of its neck muscles - it looks as if it is turning its head 180 degrees around(?).

The concept is very cool though. Good luck with it! ^^

Thanks!


I'll consider again the light sources, since I'll have to decide between two backgrounds.

About the neck muscles, i think the shading is confusing the view... I'll correct it
