Changed the colour scheme slightly; I think it makes it less cartoonish. Made a start on the details too. I’ll probably leave the little dudes til the end because I’ve no idea how they should be dressed or how the heck they’re holding on there.

Fortunately it’s the future so you’re not limited by a saddle with straps and buckles. The humans could be attached to the critter with artificial gecko-like adhesion (which is actually currently possible).
I really like the colors and the critters are imaginative. I also like the overall optimistic quality to the picture. Both humans and critters seem to be having fun.

May I ask what software you’re using?
Good luck!

hi buddy! Once again u’ll finish ur piece before the contest will even started 
or r u planning to make several pieces? Anyhow, I really admire ur speed and everything what r u doing. The present concept looks great, peaceful and so full of colors. I like it. And when I’m looking at it, it reminds me of children playing with hand gliders in the wind… maybe if u add some of them it would look like a harmony of children playing with hand gliders and those who actually rides “them”. Just a thought
Keep up the great work!

really good start! the colors and casts on the creature looks amazing
you could do a scene with more depth, maybe with more smal hills in the background with a landed spaceship back there like they just landed to have some fun with those alien creatures and maybe a little wider canvas.
looks great

Oops, loaded it a bit big this time and it compressed it, hence the dodgy effects. Never mind, you get the idea
