My greatly overdue (but finished, at last) part of an art trade with :iconreptilecynrik: Took a good year as it seems o.O

The original idea was to put Reptile into some rather icy and rather "bad" environment, presumably northern from Couvrant, as that pretty fits the setting. Lotsa ice, snow, some frozen castles and overal "polar" feeling.

The finished piece is rather something one could encounter in Tatras or Alps. Reptile searches his way through the Taiga around Couvrant during the polar night in summer and is still suprised by the fact that the sun kinda... doesn't want to go down!

You have requested critique, so I shall comment!
The shading is done beautifully, the off-side lighting in particular. I may just have to pinch that idea to give definition to heavily shaded shapes in the future >.>
I don't think his trousers work though. Having a separate sleeve for his tail just looks... odd. Maybe if his shirt had sleeves, but I think it throws it off a bit that he has a sleeve for his butt, but not his arms.

Thanks! As for the trousers, I got more comments about the idea of making a tail sleeve. It seemed to me as the only logical solution, as I have no other idea about how to solve it xD I know it looks stupid and all, but.... can it be solved better? :D

Oh wow, the background looks pretty amazing and beautiful, the coloring and the envirotment looks great. And your Reptile´s concept looks impressive, his clothes design somehow fits good on him, a big surprise to see him wearing boots heh. I like your results ^ ^

Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, BUDDY!!! ^__^ Why haven't I seen this???? Right, I was gone for 2 days.
WHAT a surprise, hmmmmmmmmmm! THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH, dear Marek! :hug: :hug: :hug:

+) The background is really stunning, I like the "burning dark clouds" effect here. ^^ The fortress in the background reminds me of "Sauron's keep", hehehehe... huge, dark, evil and just scary! ^^

+) Lighting and shading adds a great atmosphere and you've used all the colours in a "painted" way. It really looks like a painting to me, and it's just so warm... AND cold at the same time. :D

+) Best part: REPTILE!!
I love how you've designed a "warmer full body covering cloth"! ^____^ Yeah, pants with third hole for the tail, hehehehe. Also, his boots are excellent (even if his claws must be cut or shortened for this, buuuuut nevermind ;) )! Anyway, it looks all so FUNCTIONAL - and that's important to me.

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heart:
