I am a self-taught artist working both in the 2D realm of traditional painting(watercolours,acrylics and ink) and the 3D realm of digital painting and CGI(mainly Bryce and Photoshop).My work is primarily SciFi,Fantasy and Landscape,as well as logo design and conceptual art.  I have always been interested in all things SciFi,as a kid growing up in Rushden,Northamptonshire,England I was a huge fan of such shows as The Thunderbirds,Captain Scarlet,Dr.Who and many more.Upon emigrating to Alberta,Canada I was captivated by the beauty of the Rockies and the diversity of wildlife and spent years studying animals and painting realistic wildlife scenes in watercolour.My originals hang in collections worldwide.Now,my attention has switched back to SciFi,and my knowledge of creature anatomy and habits,as well as colour sense and compositional skills now come into play in a whole new realm...3D.  During the day I work in a gallery and frameshop in Kelowna,BC,Canada where I have lived for almost thirty years.As the shop manager and master framer,I am constantly influenced by the art that is both shown in the gallery and framed for clients.  As a member of Renderosity for just over a year,I have come to know many of the artists here,and have been inspired by their works.I have also been fortunate to have works chosen for display on other sites,and to have been featured in articles in two digital magazines,all as a result of the exposure from this site.My goal is to continue,and push my knowledge with each image.Thank you for taking the time to view my gallery!

Excellent image - very well done.

This really works. One suggestion -- I think it would be an even better image without the "bird" in the foreground. But I do like this image.

Excellent pov and composition! Wonderful work my friend. :)

To follow up on the previous comments, composition is good and you get a good sense of action, with the threat approaching from the left and the hero on the right. I don't think you have to necessarily get rid of the foreground pterodactyls, but their values and color are really close to the ground and the ruins. They blend into them so much, I didn't see the tilted bird for a while; I was trying to figure out what the random black spot (the shadow under the uplifted wing) was. I'd suggest changing the contrast, color or values of the birds to make them pop. Similarly, the hero contrasts nicely with the light background sand, but has values and colors very close to the ruins; if he had more color and/or contrasted more, I think you could focus the viewer's attention better.

It is a good scene, but it looks strange with that black wing in the forground, try us only on bird and place it a bit higer up and closer to the lower left of the picture. You could also try to zoom a bit out, but els well done:)

I concur with most of the negative criticisms above, but still it is an interesting composition with lots of details to grab one's attention, so I have to agree with the more positive comments as well.

I think it's an interesting scene- like a panel from a graphic novel; I get a sense of story here.
