[teal-k]

not even one reply? is it so bad?

Frankly i think the composition is really bad. I dont understand whats going on in the picture at all. Nice rendering of the skin on the guy thats in the middle.

yeah dioxide not really sure i know what i'm doing :-/
this is what i want to do

the big head is a huge statue
the bats guys are the workshipers
and those little houses on the left mountain are bats condoms

any help on composition would be welcome

thanks :)

Im sorry... bat condoms? Hopefully you means condo's.

I would say make the head not so close and visible. In other words add more depth to it by darkening the edges or something.

However, im an amateur and dont really know what im saying. So you should go ahead to the Art Techniques and Theories forum here on CGNetworks and check out the Composition section in the Art Tutorial thread.

As goes the composition, the best thing you could do without repainting most of it is move the bat creature in the middle over to the right side of the image. It might help to have more than one other bat thing in there too. I gotta say, I do like the texture you've got going on in the monolith. You should add a few really serious cracks in there too IMO.

Where his foot(the one closer to the viewer) meets the ankle, that area has incorrect anatomy.

Otherwise i dont think its an interesting perspective. Its just not interesting when all the characters in a picture have their back turned to the viewer.

[teal-k]

umm check now see if you still see that anatomical error i'm sure there are plenty :/
yeag didnt think tha back view less attractive ? gotta work on that too i guess
oh well here is anothe experiment
