Agreed, this looks more like an alligator's set of teeth, carnivorous mammals generally have more irregular jagged teeth for tearing meat apart: http://www.nps.gov/archive/yell/slidefi ... /14620.jpg (not inlined because it's in hugebig format. ;))

Thanks. I'll repair the teeth someday soon. If something seems bad to someone I'd like to know about it before I post the next version of this thing.

Well, the rider doesn't look like a goblin to me. This is just my opinion, not based on any goblin facts. ;)

It's a good picture, though. I like your all your wolf drawings.

Right, I fixed the teeth. Here's the new version, both the original one and the portrait sized.

EDIT:
-fixed the stripe I thought I had already fixed before.
-eyes made less saturated
-eyesight fixed

You've got a stripe of very dark brown/grey on the left hand side of the background (possibly not visible due to lack of monitor contrast - i can only see it at certain angles) but aside from that this looks good to me =)

Thanks, fixed it. I thought I had already gotten rid of those. If this is generally good enough then I think it's pretty much finished on my part. If Jetryl thinks it can be added to the game, it's all yours. Unless there's something more to fix in it.

Yeah, the eyes look far to saturated, agreed that it would have yellow eyes, but not that perfect.

Nice portrait, Girgistian. I particularly like the way you've done his leather jerkin; the combination of banded shading and oversized stitching gives the impression of that it was crafted using primitive tools; just as I'd expect goblin armour would be.

Tampered with the eyes a bit as well. If this is commitworthy, you can have it.

No he just edited his post a bit up the page and changed the pictures there.

Edit: looks great by the way.
