Am I on the right path?

Hi, I wanted to ask for some critiques on my current digital piece. It's not done, but I'm feeling weird about it.. I'm having a hard time getting the colors and lighting to look more believable. And the brushwork I think is "meh" should I just push through or is there something I can adjust? Thank you for any feedback!

Hey Elias, I like your concept here, should be a cool painting. When I analyzed your image, I saw a few things that I think are working against you. I did a quick diagram to show you some of the issues with color you may be having, and some perspective notes. I hope it helps :)

Oh wow! Thank you so much for this. It really means a lot!

I would look into mood lighting for the overall atmosphere you're trying to convey with the piece! The way I use lighting isn't to exactly convey realism or accuracy, but more to tell the story with the setting / characters I have

That's a great point! I'll definitely look at that

Conceptually overall I think it's fine and brushwork looks alright to me depending on what "look" you are going for. Hard to say as it's unfinished, but everything from the person forward needs more detail (to bring it up to par with the front wolf) The head (if you planned to leave the color as is) gets lost in the sky. I would move the rear wolf slightly to where it is slightly behind the right leg of the human just to show a little more depth. The gray trees could be blurred/fading a bit as they are far in the distance. Pulling some color from the clothing into other elements (blues in the grass, reds in the fur or rocks maybe) could bring things together a little. I think if back wolf were adjusted a bit, and maybe front wolf were pushed closer to the camera a bit you'd have a more defined "triangle" of focus points. I think you're on the right track and it will make a nice piece.

I found it to be fine, but the color of the sky should be a bit darker for the lights to stand out. Hope you finish your work soon, relax with https://terraria3.com if you are feeling stressed ^^
