Cool stuff =) I like the tree one a lot, very colorful. Cool how the color fades into the background in some of the pics, good stuff >O

Very vibrant color work, but the figures could use some closer attention to anatomy and proportion.

I personally like the one where the princess is being taken away by the guards, and the girl lying on the white ground with the rose

yeah! O_o im still tryin to have realistic anatomy in my drawings...but the anime habbit just wont go away...any advice?

I had that anime problem. I just refused to draw entirely from imagination for a while - spend a lot of time doing figure drawings and use a lot of anatomy books. I like Giovanni Civardi's books. Burne Hogarth also has some good ones for figuring out 3d and movement, but you'll have to try not to pick up his style cuz it's pretty ugly. And you can find Loomis books scanned in online now. And photos. I still have some vestigial anime stylings but it looks better than it used to anyway.

Your color skills are pretty high - now you've just got to catch up with your figures

Good pieces, I love your concept, they have a form of beauty to them.
I would love to see you use more custom texture and brushes for your work, to have an increase use of texture and enrich them even more.

thank you ! ya ive been playing with brushes, but not alot, since im still worrying about compositioning and basic color theories and application, so....
sadly EmilyCarr Institute of Art and Design isnt a specific school on game design/illustration and the stuff that i like, so i gotta figure things out on myself

any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
