Changed the background and his body. I also cropped the whole image a bit to center them more. I'm not really satisfied with the sky yet.. will do some variations tomorrow. And the emblem ist still missing :smile:

Definitely dynamic, love it! I do have a few bits of feedback though if you're willing to change much. Firstly her balance is really off, when you consider the possibility of just how fast that rock creature is moving, she doesn't match it or even look like she's on the same plane as the bit of shoulder she's standing on. The actual form of the same arm doesn't fit completely into the perspective you've chosen to draw it into and this makes it look just a little flat! Your detailing is fantastic though, and the blue between the rocks leading to the ball of power is really well done, lots of variety in value and colour and it works well.

I personally think more could be done with the ball of power itself, incorporate more of the blue or give it some texture, it does look somewhat unfinished compared to the rest of the piece and for me lets it down a little. The clouds, dust and atmosphere over that forearm is really really well done however and works well.

Overall the piece is honestly so good but just needs a bit of tweaking to be amazing! Good job on it, you should be proud :smiley:

Thank you very much for your feedback!
I'm actually considering to remove her completely as I don't have any more time to fix all those points and render her after that..
I haven't touched the ball yet so right now it's just a big white dot :smile:

But thanks for letting me know! your feedback helped me a lot :blush: and thank you for your supportive words :relaxed:

If that works better, it would be nice to still have her there but she's so small and it does seem like she hinders the movement of the piece a little. Whatever you decide it still looks amazing and you should definitely be proud!

you're right! she definitely hinders the movement. Thank you!! :blush:

This time I've been working on the background to make it all look smoother, supporting the movement a bit. I removed the girl as she just didn't fit the image and I don't have the time to fix it.
I added the emblem although I don't know if its too subtle?
Going to work on the blue fire ball tomorrow :smile:

It's not so unnoticeable that you can't see it, I didn't notice at first but with the composition and movement anyway your eye is naturally lead to it. Good work it's looking really fantastic!

Hey ! I haven't checked your post for a while. This is a really unexpected progress but definitely a good one. Very dynamic pose and beautiful landscape. I'm not sure for the emblem, if I haven't read nesokaiyoh's comment then found what was she talking about in yours I would never think there was an earth emblem, and even with this knowledge it took me a lot of time to find it. But maybe I'm just blind I don't know x')

Thank you for your feedback @nesokaiyoh and @Oceane_Roh! :blush:
I wasn't sure about the emblem because I wanted it to be as subtle as possible to not drag the attention to it.. that's why I placed it on his shoulder.. like nesokaiyoh said, to lead your eye to it.
But I also agree with your point Oceane_Roh! right now it's way to subtle to notice it at first or second glance..
so I'm going for something more showy on the same spot :relaxed: lets see :smile:

Worked on the fire ball and added some particles, stones and details..
I changed the emblem as well but I'm still not satisfied :sweat_smile: going to play around with it the next days

Wow !
That is really a nice looking golem : 3

Where to get one ? :laughing:

Oh man that color shift from warm to cool light is SO nice! Honestly a really dynamic piece, well done!

The colours are definitely super beautiful O8

@mr_dessin thanks! :smile: I'd love to have one too :smile:

@sani thank you so much! :heart_eyes: the colors were super challenging for me, I'm glad you like it!

@nesokaiyoh thank you! :blush: and thanks again for all of your feedback so far :relaxed:

Continued rendering the scene and changed the ball.
I also saturated the image a bit more :relaxed: I hope i can finish it the next days :smile:

Alright guys, this is it! The final final final one :smile:

This challenge was a blast! I had so much fun doing this golem and I really learned a lot by pushing myself to get out of my comfort zone with this one..
Thanks again for your great feedback and support! It meant a lot :blush:

I wish you all good luck!
cheers :blush: :clap:

All those extra details really have made this piece, and you should be very proud of what you've achieved here! It's been great following your progress, see you next year yeah?
