Not sure about that typography
But this is amazing! You've come so far! Those clouds are arousing.
aw shucks guys
[QUOTE=Maloof?;47548479]Not sure about that typography[/QUOTE]
im totally open to trying new fonts. do you have any in mind that you think might look better?
Maybe something a little softer and regal?
The current font seems hard and in your face, almost military-like.
I'm ditto with them. The piece overall is very pleasant to look at, but the font doesn't fit the style. Really nice background too.
Not really happy with this one. Prolly gonna change it later.

Point noted!
Nice piece, I'd definitely recommend including a defined light source though

For titles like this, it's generally better to have the final, bigger word in a different style, differentiating it from the beginning segment.
This is just a mock-up, not sure about the fonts here, but you could go for something really over the top like this.

I dunno, the number of outlines on that particular bit of text is way too busy
Maybe so, but I think it's a step in the right direction and I agree with what he said.
this is what i had come up with before checking the thread just now

you guys are great, all your feedback has been super encouraging and helpful

That font looks much better, but i think it'd still be better if the two lines had a different font each?
So is this going to be a graphic novel or what? I want to see these surprising adventures.

Proportions are way off, elevators are the wrong size and misplaced, vertical stabiliser is misshaped, and I completely failed at the shading
Still, this is the first time I've done this for about three years, so I'd say it went rather well

Ok, I'll play with it some more today

Its for a class I have called "Concept Sketchbook". At the beginning of the semester we could choose between three public domain novels. "Deathworld" by Harry Harrison, "The White People" by Arthur Machen, or "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen" by Rudolf Erich Raspe.
I'm all about anything with adventure in the title so I picked Munchausen, interpreting it as pulp sci-fi even though it was written in the 1790's. Our goal is to design 8 different characters, props, or elements from the story and present them at the end of the semester in a nicely laid out PDF

I don't know if its advice youre looking for, but if it is, I recommend getting a cheap sketchbook for $5-10 and just draw in it every day, whether it be from imagination, photos, or observed

WIP, I think. I have no idea how to finish pictures/how to tell when pictures are finished. Anyway, I'd appreciate advice on how the composition and shading are working
Haven't posted anything here in a long time, but i'm still going at it.

I just really like making dead rats for some reason.
8 colors.

this is seriously rad
Used gouache for the second time today. Could have spent a bit longer getting it to look better but it turned out alright-ish.

I feel like it would look neater if you continued rendering it without the outlines. Your lighting is already well done, but the messiness of those lines and value changes detract somewhat from what could potentially be a very cool piece.

Took the thread's advice. Does it look finished and all that?

I just finished this quick piece up, I plan on maybe going into Photoshop and cleaning up the white tentacle because the smaller shown half of it is painted in acrylic (I hadn't originally planned on keeping it white so I had already painted this part until my art teacher told me that she liked the negative space it created). But I'm pretty happy with it otherwise.
Any thoughts?

Maybe when you tinker with it in PS, you could add some really faint shadows to the white tentacle, so that you can really make it look more dimensional.

Its a huge improvement! Maybe for your next piece, use a bigger brush with transfer for nice gradations, and remember that you can use selection tools where you want really sharp edges. Some highlights where the light source hits stronger might have a nice effect as well!

I think the guy's pose could be different. Maybe straightened out and facing more forwards?

Much better. I think the right arm needs a little bit of soft light outlining around the bottom of the upper arm and the elbow a bit. Makes more sense for the moonlight reflecting off of the ground to hit the arm, and it'll be easier to figure out the shape of the arm right away. Other than that, I think the moon would look better with cleaner edge.
Here's some more moonlight.
