Artist's Comments

H'okay, this is "finished" for the moment simply because once again, I won't have time to work on it before the contest deadline. : P

What I started with can be found here --> [link]

And with all of you lovely people's helpful critiques, I updated:

:pointr: Made the shadow on the ground darker.
:pointr: Bumped up the contrast on the deer, gave him some white in his eye (there was more but it looked odd to me), and gave him spots.
:pointr: Moved the whole top portion of the bird upward and connected it to the legs a little more obviously. (For those with balance questions, the idea was that the big "flap" in the back of the bird would help to balance it when walking. The wings were intended to be used more for leverage than for actual flying, sort of like. Uh. A predatory chicken. ..With three legs. Or something.)
:pointr: Added the teeth on the underside.
:pointr: Fuddled with his legs a bit and made them a little more sturdy.

:strip: Thanks again, you guys are awesome.

Two years I've been off of this site, and how many people came to visit while I was away?

This is an incredibly creative and ingeniusly designed monster of demented do0m. :XD: Reminds me of a cockatrice combined with a Strider from Half-Life 2. :excited:

:thumbsup: x 100!

I love to see people who ask for crits and then IMPLEMENT them, as you did here - so many just go "oh but that's like that because ______" and just refute all the crits and it's like "so what was the point of asking...?".

Great job on this! :heart:

Yeah, as said before, it would look even better if the deer had antlers.

Still very cool though :)

:laughing: I hate it when people do that, too. I mean, I understand that sometimes people suggest things that the artist didn't intend to be included in the piece or doesn't want to change, but sometimes it seems like people ask for critiques just so they can shoot every suggestion down, lol. Or even worse, ask for critiques and then get mad when people give them. It boggles my mind.
