Thank you for the critique!
The reson why tail and hindlegs are so thin looking is that I tried to get some perspective into the drawing. I tried to enhance that with the use of gradually more blue tones towards the tail, but I could not add as much as I had originally intended to because it turned into a quite ugly color when mixed with the orange(not that surprising since these are complimentary colors xD).

I like the way you're thinking! Just be a little more careful on how you do the perspective, there are some perspective helpers online that you could use to make it look a little more clean

This picture is beautiful! It is literally so good, it (almost) doesn't look real! This has some beautiful blending and shading, and I personally love the eyes! (well, eye, in this case.) There is a couple things that I think you should improve. The tail, at the end, though it is minor, it may make a huge difference. To get to the point, the tail slightly gets a bit thicker around the turn. The fire is great, but I think that it needs a bit more glow directly around it (example of glow around fire: www.explorenature.org/wp-conte⦠) It is nice that you made lighting for the fire, because I see a LOT of pictures with fire but no shading on the character. Last but not least, The wings. With the other wing, I can't see the claw on it. This is beautiful and amazing, by the way, and I can't wait to see another one of your pieces of art!

Thank you for the critique!
With "the tail slightly gets a bit thicker around the turn" do you mean the inconsistency in the lines? I try to minimize these but often can't get it 100% right.
I'm not sure if adding a glow around the fire would've had alot of effect, since the BG here is white and any glow would basically vanish in front of it since it already is the brightest color. On a dark BG it could make a great effect though!

for the consistency, yes. it is a minor difference though, and isn't really noticeable. and for the glow, i just thought about that XD. that would be hard to see with a white BG

to add to this as well I feel like there's a somewhat lack of shading on the overall character. There is definitely definition and depth in the muscle structures but not so much general shading which makes just everything pop. The light from the fire is really great though c: I do agree there should be a slow on the general fire itself too.Β

I personally find it very hard to add overall shading when there is not BG present. Therefore I tend to use the basic shading on the BG less pictures, kinda like in a studio with a soft omnidirectional lightsource. I tried to give some depth and enhance the perspective by using gradually more blue towards the tip of the tail, I could not add as much as I'm used to though because it turned into a rather dirty tone when mixed with the orange too much.

They are really pretty, especially when you go into one of those shops that sells rocks and you get to put your hands in with them, watching them glitter and everything.

Yep

Exactly! Those are some of my favorite places to go. Although, I rarely find anything worthy to add to my collection of rocks.

Psy showed this to me the other day and caught me totally by surprise. I think this rendition of Fen is one of the greatest I have ever seen. I simply cannot wait to see the original. This will have a very special spot on our walls for sure! Thank you so much for doing this trade!

Can't wait to see the how it will look on the wall
