Trying new things. Here is where it was yesterday evening (dragon close to be done). A. I kept having the same comment about the background. At least half of the time, people saw the bushes at the line of horizon like clouds, sky nearly touching the castle. So I gave it a try to change the time of day/night, to make it more obvious what's "sky" and what's "bushes and horizon line". Tried to improve the night atmospheric perspective at the same time (which is counter intuitive, cuz it's the opposite of day time). B. I was also told more than once that the distance between dragon (middle ground) and griffin (foreground) is really not obvious. Mostly because of the colors, so bright and sharp in the middle ground (as much, if not even more than foreground). There should be some sort of atmospheric perspective there too, but I'm not sure I to do this with this kind of scene. While talking with someone else, we thought I might ...
Ok good, now that the character is starting to read better we should work out the pose a little bit. The wooden leg is too long (the thigh) and too much at 90 degree from the other leg. And although I'm pretty sure that the left leg is the wooden leg, I think it can be very confusing. Can you try to lift the bottom of his coat (put it in the wind,which is another good way to add dynamism) to show a bit more of his legs so that we understand the pose better? I also feel that the man is quite off balance (maybe it's the boat that needs a slight rotation...) and is also a giant compared to his boat.
