Description This is probably my most successful painting to date, and will be used in a much bigger image for a Christmas gift for my mother. Here's hoping she doesn't see it... Anyways please leave me any comment's, critiques or idea's on what could be done to enhance the quality of this image!

You could put some more detailed shading on and around the goblin to make it look like it's actually on the bee (right now it looks kinda photoshopped if you know what I mean) Yeah, the shading on the goblin looks like it has a different light source so it doesn't look like it's part of the picture.

Yeah now that I look at it, the shading should be in front of the goblin, not behind, considering the direction the sun is coming from. Also the wings should be casting shadows, although god knows where exactly. Definitely in front of the base of the wings though.

I think this image is amazing! I love the colours, the wings, and the probiscus (or whatever...the mouth thingy). I also love the cowboyish hat and stance of the goblin. My only other critique is that it should be called the Bee-Riding Goblin (with a hyphen) because otherwise it sounds like the bee should be riding the goblin.

Yay being awesome at art!

PS. This is just a smaller part of a greater whole I hope to finish soon as Christmas is around the corner and it's my mom's gift. I'd really appreciate if you'd help out a little more when I've got more of the image up!

LMAO You're totally right, I'll chalk the name up to Sleep Deprived, hallucination addled insanity. Cause I can. lol Anyways thank you, I needed someone to actually give me some pointers on how to make it stand out more, and I feel you're right, the goblin does look a little photoshopped Without a shadow from the wings it does look a little flat so I'll give some tries at getting that out better. Thanks again!
