Description I'm not 100% sold on the title, so I might change it if I come up with a better one

Anyway, it's time for jungle backgrounds, rocky textures and 10% more Hylian Tunic
I am proud of many of the details here, especially concerning the rock (which is actually one of those weird dragon head statues lining Dracozu River in Faron), and my human anatomy is finally starting to shape up. The jungle background was interesting to work on, and I tried to convey distance while also keeping the background lighter than the foreground, which I think turned out alright. I'm not entirely satisfied with the grass, it's supposed to be really long and lush, but I didn't want it to be overly detailed (I'm not a fan of those "having every single blade of grass or strand of hair visible" kinds of pictures, especially in digital art where the grass is obviously made with a texture without any attempts at realism). Overall, I'm happy with this (and again, I haven't seen much Faron region fanart, so I did my own)~

I think this looks great!

How about "Hide and Sneak" for the title, since he's sneaking up on those Lizalfos? Β Though the one you already have is also fine.

This is kinda funny because just I played last night BotW and I was exploring this area :'D

I love the greens in foreground, they're extremely pleasant to look at, also dat dragon statue has nice green tint on it. The Hylian tunic looks really nice and is well detailed (tho Link's face could still use some work :'P), I know the pain of drawing that thing myself so applauds to you.
I like the way you did the Lizalfos at the distance, but otherwise I think you could have worked with the distance a bit differently. Instead of using same color as in the foreground but only lighter, maybe you should add some other color in the mix depending on the time of day: like, in morning/during daytime it could be slightly blueish, or at sunset there could be orange. It could look really nice in my opinion, and maybe you should try that out. Just saying.

Overall, really nice piece again. You're definitely going in the right direction, keep that up.

i actually got inspired by watching my brother (sucking at) playing in the faron region :,P
link's face needs work? oh come on, for once i was pleased with it D:
the reason why the background looks the way it does is because i wanted the foreground to appear much darker (because of the dragon statue casting shade), and the further back you go, the lighter it gets. i'm not sure if blue tones would be good here though, i wanted the thing to have an overall green-ish tone to it, and the way the sun would filter through the palm trees would make them appear more yellow/green than blue (if you know what i mean). but that's just here because it's a jungle, if i ever get to drawing normal forests (which i wanna do, i like drawing trees now), i'm definitely adding blue hues to convey distance.
anyway, thank you~
