I really like it! The perspective is very good I think. It really looks like the minotaur is really close, because of the faded background.
Well done!

Aloys.

I like the design on the minotaur.
I know it's supposed to be blurred but the background could use some more detail, namely the tree because it's closer than the mountains.
Good anatomy, but the head feels a little too big for the body.
Cool work so far.

i like the design as well.
but i don't like the tone and colours of this background. well, of course that depends on what you had in mind originally. but as it is now, i find the background too happy and sweet looking.
i would make the background more dramatic, like at sunset or sunrise, or cloudy, an arriving storm, etc. it would add 'character' to the minotaur.
but that's just my suggestion Smile

I like it.
Maybe add some more detail and reflections in his eyes to make them stand out more. When I first look at it, I see the eyes or am drawn to look at the eyes and they aren't shaded for the most part. It would add to the whole feeling with some strong reflections in them/shadows as well.

I like the background with the fierce looking monotaur because it is an interesting contrast of a character of such fierceness in a place where you would see a lil bunny trodding along any moment haha. So don't ditch that background :p
looks good otherwise. Smile

The picture looks nice - although i think the saturation level is to high, the minotaur is imho a little bit to flat and glossy and i think you should lower the depth of field ...

uhh...all of the crits have been said already so im just gonna say really nice job and i cant wait to see it finished!

Thanks for all suggestions. I tried to implement most of them.
I think something is still wrong since I'm not too hapy with it.
Please WIP - HardER!!! Smile

I just need it.

Hi Andy'Ba

it looks better this way! but i would have a few suggestions....

I've noticed before that there is to much saturation or contrast between elements of the picture....for example the grass....it looks to muddy because of the rich color of green and black...try making it more smooth in color and texture..

The Minotaur looks a bit old (maybe you wanted him that way) couse of his skin, it looks dry and full of creases.

anyway good work ! keep updating it...

More changes. I added more shadows. I correctd the left leg. And changed the nose. Is it any better then previous or it's just different?

I think the changes you've made look good - on the right track, to be sure!
This image has a neat feel to it.
The only suggestions I have are just for fun, and can be taken however you like.
What if you added a "portal" or "rip" in the air behind him, that you could see a very different landscape in, that would suggest that he just walked in on this scene from somewhere - might give it some more story to the composition.

Excellent improvements. With the desaturation he fits in significantly better.

Just wanted to renew this thread cause i started to work on the 3d version of this minotaur.
And I would like to know what you guys think.

Thanks in advance for crits and suggestions.

Personally, I like the longer, more "ripped" arms in the painting more than the thicker, shorter arms in the 3D model.

But it's far and away beyond what I could do, amazing stuff. It really took a huge turn for the better when you fixed that left leg in the painting, that was the first thing I noticed about it; but after scrolling down a few more pics you fixed it Very Happy

The good thick calf muscle in the 3d model is good...it makes it a lot more believable for a thing like a minotaur to actually stand when you give it good muscles to stand on Very Happy

anyway nice stuff.
