One thing I kind of would like to see is a wider range of values, just to push the foreground forward and the background back, if you know what I mean. With the glass ball being the focal point, I think you could afford to darken the books and such behind the figure in order to make them less obvious, since right now everything in the picture is vying for attention and I think it weakens the composition a bit. Having said that, the glass itself doesn't have any shading at all, which is clever.
Having said that, I don't do much work on paper like this, so I'm not sure I would have the guts to do that myself. I think Photoshop has spoiled me.
The expression on the Wizards' face! Superb!
I'm understandably a fan of detail work myself, so I know what you mean. And yes, this was rather time-consuming, although I imagine most people don't realise the amount of time that goes into even my less cluttered pictures.
And thankyou for the +fav. I really appreciate it, and value your support. ^_^
If you don't mind me asking, what is it about the picture that you like? ( Sorry, just doing my market research. ^_^ )
But my favorite thing about this isn't the figure so much as his surroundings. (though I <3 wizards.) All of his shelves packed with cool stuff---awesome.
I think the surroundings are one of my favourite bits to. Some people don't like drawing backgrounds, but I really like drawing them. It's fun to see all the details that you can put in. ^_^
