[Request] AtalantaSphinx (critique requested)

Jaegren

A request for Atalantasphinx primarily featuring her character, Gabriel, the charming sheep in the center, as well as her characters Arlen, the lynx at the bar, and Dante, the Dalmatian at the far right.

Because the space was so large, I requested characters to add and she provided a large stable of her own to choose from, as well as Nakita, the possum-cat at the bar, and Angelo, the pretty white canine tending bar, both belonging to Jocyhope , and finally Chris, the white wolf with the red hair, belonging to Dynamic-Wolf.

I felt, in these circumstances, it was best to put each character in a vaguely-appropriate place. Gabriel, a quiet sheep, likes to keep to himself and would bring a book to a bar such as this. Chris and Dante both seem like very sociable characters, so it seemed natural that they would be hanging out together. Arlen, a police officer, is gruff and quiet, and would be at home at the bar by himself after a long day. Angelo, with the magical ability to take others' pain and wounds onto himself, would make a hell of a bartender, and Nakita, a rough-and-tumble assassin and an alcoholic, would be fairly impatient to fill the empty space in front of her at the bar.

I did work rather hard on this piece and was able to practice a large variety of techniques on the composition. I am also very fond of the background.

I hope my work shows, and I thank Atalantasphinx for being so patient and so helpful during the process. Please feel free to request me again.

Art belongs to me.

    The level of detail you have here (the bottles and the art on the walls, for example) is impressive. The only slight issue is that your bartender and left character at the bar seem to have incorrect proportions in the arm area, or perhaps their arms don't have enough muscle on them to seem realistic, but it doesn't distract enough or pull major focus to ruin the piece (I just like to give both a positive and a negative in a critique). The lighting is a very nice touch and sets a nice mood. I also like the soft scratch texture on the walls and the booth seating. It just adds in that extra level of professionalism.

    In general, this is a very nice work.

      Thank you deeply. The best comments are those that point out areas for improvement. The character seated at the left on the bar is, in fact, supposed to be emaciated, but I do not have much experience drawing bodies of that build, so it does look... Off. The bartender is simply disproportioned.

      Thank you for your critique! If you would like a picture along similar lines of skill, please feel free to put in a request!
