I'm liking the revised teal/blue version better; just feels more refined and tight.
One thing I'd really like to see is a bit more unified and consistent feel to the rendering of the piece. more range to the lighting, chuck in a secondary rim light to pick up details in un-defined areas; I think if you spent just an extra hour and did things like pull out volume on details like the belly button, and upper torso, it would give you a lot tighter and more "finished" feeling piece.
Only other idea would be to play around and create some new fiber type of brushes; gentle thickness in, and medium flow, and I think your single brush strokes would look a lot more appealing ( like the strokes on the bottom of the legs). It would just give it a little more sense of direction and gesture in your strokes.
Oh thats so cool. I really dig the mish mash of different animal groups you have there; Half human/bird/squid type thing. Wouldn't really want that thing to be stuck on my arm o_O
cool stuff :)
...wait thats a beak isnt it? or 5 million mashing claws?
