I don't even know where to begin, it is all so awesome!

I love how I feel a sense of "hazy distance" almost as if I were there and the wind and surroundings were playing tricks on perception. Don't know if I described that properly :D

I like what you have in this picture! Good use of foreground figure to create a sense of perspective/scale.

Only complaint I have is that the trail of caravan can stretch a little longer into the horizon. Perhaps a hint of oasis in the far distance too, that way you reward the viewers for tracking the caravan all the way to the end.

Good work, faved!

Man, I still have your first images here on DA in mind, and you're progressing awesomely...

Your interest in classical art pays back style-wise... I see you're managing to render realistic, meticulous images, and still maintain a unique style... I like this a lot.

From the technical side, I think there are come contrast&texture issues with the rider... he's overcontrasted, and things look too smooth. You could also do some more contrasts on the guy in front, use desaturated colors to build the mass... he looks like he was in different global lightning, he doesn't fill up his own space right I think.
You could fix the angle of the hand holding the spear to make it look more dynamic - either rest it on fingers, that would elongate the hand visually and give a different outline (angle of the fingers, and fingers visibility... the fingers and the knucles would form a trapezoid rather than a rhomboid), or change the angle of the hand (rotate a few degrees clockwise) but keep the spear intact, that would stretch the hand out a bit and give it more dynamism, tension, make it more interesting.

Damn does this even make sense

I could redline this someday if you want to...

The parts of focus around the creature are awesome... the person walking near the creature, and the creature's head and leg(s), I like that very much. And the imprints in the sand. And the small rocks in the background. The second critter in the shadow...

You could try diggin out more detail in the stuff those creatures carry on their backs, looks a bit like background rocks at a first glance.

Anyway, take care and keep it up!

looking back at my old old DA stuff, i often cringe lol. ive been tempted several times to take the old stuff down actually.

thanks man, i love hearing feedback about my work. concerning the things youve pointed out, youre totally right haha. i got too lazy to render/tweak the rider and the stuff on the back XD. thanks for your crit. i really appreciate it
