Snake King (King Cobra)

[Raptor]

Hello, i am 20yrs old, a student at AIS, and i was hoping to get some crits on this piece, i am pleased with it however, i feel i need alot of work to be consistant, any painting advice is welcome.

I am about 6 months new to treating PS in a "painterly" fashion, before i was a filter , i think now im kinda comeing around, thanks to people like craig mullins, nick bouviare, and anry to set example. can anyone help me with finishing touches?

I really like how you've handled this, but I can offer a suggestion. I'd alter the robe so that the colour was either a little darker (maybe add a purple tint) or had a gold detail trim running down it.

It needs a little something to stop it looking like a giant cobra at Christmas time.

It's only a minor thing that I noticed. Other than that, nice job.

yeah i agree with whats been said....initially i thought "christmas", aside from that. You tackled this concept well.

heh cool idea. I swear make it leapord sjin and the term "pimp" doesnt even cover it

How's it going? I'm currently studying at AIS as well! Nice work rendering the fur lining on the coat, it's very convincing. For a finishing touch I'd try hitting that snake with some deep, dark, shadows wehre applicable to contrast those hightlights. Nice work.

mr frost, would that be josh frost by chance? if it is, do you think you could get me to talk to that one guy who came by for presentation?

red rook - i was actually planning on giving him some white leopard fur spots on the fluffy part,

i also agree about more darks, but where is my onlt setback, maby someone can help?

I think its a little undefined, but that may be the effect you're going for. I think some black spots would look good on the coat fur. Maybe make it a more royal colour, like purple(the actualy coat). But that's up to you. I like it red, but purple is a more regal colour.
