great job so far on it! one thing i could say is that you could blur the foreground tree and grass at the bottom to pull in the focal point even more to the characters

Thanks, I'll definitely keep that in mind!

Finished up the two illustrations:

"The Midday Man"

"Travelling Song"

Now on to throwing my portfolio together!

Hi there!

Your work is amazing! Incredible what you can do with women's faces! And the environment! The only thing i would say that stands out with being just okay instead of great like the rest is the wolf with it's tounge out... It seems more stylized than the rest of the image.

I would love to see the graphic novel that is way down in pre-production. By the portraits you posted, you have a green light;) awesome work!

Keep it up!

Thank you!!
And thanks for the feedback! Yeah you're right about that wolf, I was struggling with it and then ran out of time. Next time I'll do some studies before jumping right into it!

Sorry for the lack of updates lately! I went to IW_17 in London this weekend to have my portfolio checked out (:

I've scrolled through the portfolio. I don't think there is anything i can say about the art itself, it's just awesome.
I like the way you kept the whole thing simple, clean and easy to look at and still understandable what is what!

I watched a podcast on portfolio tips that i would recomend to everyone who wants to submit a portfolio at some time-some stuff i didn't even think about and they really make sence. But instead of thinking about them on your own, let someone who knows, tell you;)

It is longer than i remember but i still think it's worth listening:)

Thank you so much! I guess studying graphic design came in handy at least :,D
And thanks for the link, I will definitely listen to the podcast!

I love the little touches like the bells tied to the dragon's horn, and the wheat and straw on the Midday Man.

Hi guys, I know it's been a short pleasure, but a friend of mine invited me to join her forums over at sketchlab, and I'll migrate my sketchbook some time next week.
See you all around!
