13+ for gore? Sort of? Dunno...basic idea of picture, Khal (shinrin and Niki's first born son, yes they just had their puppies ^^ yay!) has been attacked and is mentally scared with the image of a shadow like creature attacking him. This is one of his many dreams, sorry for the cornyness. I really would love to get some hard core critique. The more harsh, the better. Ego boosts rock too but critique is the only way I'll get any better, right?

This really need some improvement. The blurred clouds and bad glow really distract you from the character, but the paw prints make up for it, a bit :)

Just keep practicing!

Got it! I agree, the blur did take a lot away, as did the whole background scheme, clouds, rain, ect. I was just out of ideas for a good background ^^; ehehe...also I thought the pawprints were a bit off but I'm glad you disagree. Anyways thanks so much for the critique! I'll be sure to keep it in mind next time.

The best way to learn is to look at pictures and see how the anotomy works, the heads fine but the body seems off, especially the neck, it's a good picture though.

Thanks! I was trying to make the neck sort of lanky and 'graceful like a swan' but I failed horribly. I'll try your advice right away. Thanks once again for all your help!
