Hello,
As this is my first post in this forum/board i would like to greet everyone and ask for their help.
I am kinda stuck in this color as i am having problems with rendering of the water and finilizing my light sources. any help would be apreciated.
also I am gpoing for a more soft approche as far as shading and toning.
again any feed back is apreciated.

I would like to thank chris for hoasting my color. I'll upload a more recent version wehn I go home tonight. I have fixed the mountians. and the sky is a tad darker now.

That's really cool!
Complaints:
Remember the rule - never block the character if it confuses the meaning. It took me a long time to figure out that that eagle was sitting on his hand.
Also, work on the water - I love the city but I have no idea whether it's flooded or just having water channels through - work on shadings.

I don't think that the eagle is sitting on his hand.. It's a pair of wings or something, which makes the poor guy fly..

I don't know, just my guess

I have to say this is beautiful line art. I also have no idea how to hel you with the water, but i think since the dude is flying the light source depends on the time. So like if it high noon, it should be right above his head and such. I hope this helped a little!

That line art is awesome. I think you should lighten the wings so have the light coming from his back. I wanna be able to see the feathers.
