This piece...there's a lot of things I can say about this piece. Asides from being absolutely stunning it leaves me in awe at the fact that it makes me want to look away from the almost bittersweet sadness I get from it yet I want to continue looking, and noticing all the little details you put in. Each time I look I notice a new one, the little bright dots coming off of the creature and floating up- almost as if inch by inch he/she (it?) was disintegrating into tiny particles floating up into a fading light.

The mood you managed to create with such a limited palet is not only incredible but mind boggling to me. I don't know much about art yet, I still have a lot to learn, but I know that it takes skill to be able to take such a sweet and happy color such as yellow and use it to create such a bittersweet like picture. I think this color scheme seemed to project more sadness- at least to me- than any blue tones could have ever done.

Critique wise it's really hard to say since trying to find something I think needs improvement in this- for me anyway- is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. The background is simple but that just adds more attention to the main focus, which is the creature and that lovely expression- please, dont get me started on how I still can't believe how you could pull off such a completely human like expression on something that is, quite obviously, not human- so thats not even a problem I think.

Anyway, I think it would have looked nice if you had added some grass between the rocks by the creature's front claws/feet to balance out some of the grass a little ways behind it but again I dont think its a necessary thing, just one more little detail that could have been. I'm sure I don't have to tell you again, but I will, because it's true- I LOVE this picture.
