in feel like i'm right there

a bit more volume on the snake's body
other than that, good job

Awesome! I love the touches of red, great job. ^^!

Great colors and sense of depth

I kinda miss the scales on the snake

Good work + 8

Is this a photo that has been painted on? Anyway, a bit more contrast to the snke's body would hve brouht it some punch ans would have made it a clear presence in the scene. Anyway 10.

Thanks, you folks, for your compliments and critiques.

Wallace, yeah I had some trouble giving it scales. At first I tried to do them individually, but in the end it looked much better just using crosshatches to give it a somewhat scaley texture.

Chrisgraphics, it is not a photo that has been painted on. I looked at a photo to get a feel for what dew covered grass looks like and tried to layer the picture similarly with blurred foreground and background.

please post the photo ref PM me once you do.
thanks

Cool!
Anyway, I have always appreciated genuine hand-made pieces of work (whether traditional or digital). What graphic tablet do you use?

I've been using my new wacom intuos3, 6x8 lately. It is quite nice!
