First really cool design! The shock-wave is a really nice touch and gives the painting a lot of energy! The composition and camera angle are pretty epic as well! My critique would be that the foreground and midground could use some separation, but that might resolve itself already in the refining/detailing process

Thank you guys for the great words and the support <3
I'll put an accent on the separation For/Mid !
If you just change the color of either the foreground or the monster then it will be easier to tell them apart and make the composition stronger.
You could also think about adjusting the value of one or the other.
I like that you didn't go for a straight-up warrior and are attempting a different thing. Could see a flag-bearer announcing the army in a big battle scene like Lord of the Rings.
@caffeinatedbrushes thank you for your comment !
I've done a bit of refinery today, nothing too fancy. I'm thinking of some ways to incorporate more of a feeling that a battle will start soon, I'll work on them a bit
Absolutely lovely!! Think somewhere in the thread you mentioned MTG, really looks like something that could fit in there reminds me of "Crosan Colossus" by Kev Walker.
I am not exactly sure how, but maybe you could try to make the small golems seem more "moving". Although I can see one of the legs bent at the leftmost one, they still look a little bit stationary.
@Gil_Ascher @veesketch Thank you so much for your kind words
I will try things with the golems, thank you for the idea !
Wow, I really like the sense of scale in your illustration, very cool!
I also think that linear perspective could use some tweaking. Look at the thickness of the front arm of the creature compared to the back arm - I think that considering the scale of the scene, the front one should appear larger. And maybe it would look better if it was bent a bit in the "elbow" - would convey more of the weight of the creature.
@kriros Thank ! I need to rework the arm a bit I guess. I take note of your advice
@nesokaiyoh thank you for your awsome support <3
@juliapires.jp98 Thank you so much I'm glad you like it . But I wasn't alone I've received great advices
@nesokaiyoh Thank's ! Yes you're definitely right, this could be a nice solution and justification.
