Hi guys!

I am back with my latest failure! Took a while to complete, with uni and all, need me marks to get a transfer. Sort of rushed towards the end, always happens, I need to learn patience. Feel free to post comments and give feedback. I am a beginner after all, and all feedback helps, especially techniques

Vengeance of the Octopi on deviantART

Enjoy!

doesn't look very cohesive. work on blending, and lighting especially.
it sticks out because you have these really bright things not blended very well onto a very dark background. thus the random explosions and missile trails really stick out.
if happy ever afters did exist <3 @watamizu_

Yes, lighting is one of my greatest downfalls, even in my previous pieces. Would you happen to possess any links or such that can help beginners with basic lighting and blending?

Thanks

I'd just like to say it's really refreshing to have someone put a work up asking for a good critique and then get one. Warms my loins.

On subject, I have no idea what's going on in that picture. I realize you wanna have a lot going on, but give me some clues on how to look at it.

i would remove the red outerglow around that monster? & like said you should work on your blending, easiest way to do so is to add some color filters

Colour filters? I'll look into it, thanks

Rainmaker5, no idea XD Maybe someone divided Pi by 0, creating a horrific beast. Now it is being attacked to preserve mankind!
