@Jan D. @C @blockhead Thank You for feedback! I decided to simplify the background and remove excessive vfx. Think it serves the purpose as a character design piece much better now. I'll keep in mind Your advices with my next artwork as I'm happy with this one as it is right now :) Thanks again and have a great week!

Feedback inquiry
Hey guys, how would you improve it?

I do this for a living. You want to get a high dpi printer. HP makes good printers and they're pretty inexpensive. For highly detailed prints we us a epson stylus pro 11880, you also could run heavier canvas like materials if you don't want to print on solely paper. edit : just realized you're doing small a3 prints. Epson would be grand format printing. I do know printers but cant recommend a desktop printer, sorry.

Yaa, I want to start with small prints and maybe in the future move to a bigger format. 99% I'll go with Canon PIXMA IP870, after some research and thinking, it seems resonable to me not to start with more expensive printer. Will see if someone has to add to the topic though :)

Printer for fine art printing
Hello there, I'm going to buy a printer to sell my digital art prints. I was wondering if anyone has some experience with such printers and if so any recomendations. I'm interested in A3/A3+. 1. Please only give first/second hand (meaning you have a friend who does print art) information. I've done some research but I'm interested in real opinions of users. 2. I'm not interested in outsourcing - I'm getting a printer anyways! Thank You!

Hey Steeve, overall a really nice piece. Except one major thing I think everything works great - the pose. Maybe that's just me but the pose reads as if the character is about (and can't wait) to be "..ekhm.." in the butt.. I'd suggest you looking for a pose reference, there are plenty of images and video's of monks with stick, and if you're going for what's called 'Monkey on a tree' trick, take a look at the reference below. Once again, that's a really nice concept piece, it's just in my opinion the pose ruins everything. I that helps, Cheers!

That's one way of looking at it haha. I based the pose on a dog's playful posture, forelegs down and butt in the air (see the reference attached), to embody how excitable she is. I found that her gesture combined with the bending of the bo communicates that she's simply balancing herself on her toy, and even after reading your comment, I still don't see her presenting anything overly sexual. I appreciate your perspective, but I'm quite happy with the pose, so I'll leave it be as a whole. Thanks for sharing!

Hey, I've been using XP-PEN DECO 03 for a few years now - it's great and cheap! ;)

Nice! We'll check it out! Thanks for the recommendation :)

Holy moly! It looks great! Only thing I can spot is that all your thumbnails look pretty similar one to another. I'm really curious how you could push these shapes in different ways because the result looks amazing! AWESOME! :D
David Schneider
Thanks Jacob! :) Yep, I shouldn't have stopped where I did but explored other possibilities, unfortunately I had a fixed image in my mind and when I had something resembling it that looked cool I quit. If you have the time it's probably always worth it to go that extra mile and see what's behind the next corner! I hope I can push it further with the next one :)
