Devour pigkel.

I don't know what's going on, but it has me laughing

First off, your rendering is always a delight.
I have to ask though, from a framing perspective, I always find the subjects of your art either uncomfortably close to your image edges, or cropped awkwardly...

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that these are only a portion of the full picture, as to protect the full image from art thievery. That way you always possess the full work. Am I correct?

Could you show other examples you think cropped badly?

No, it's my bad composition then.

The feet and green ehmm container thingy do feel awkwardly cropped, driving the attention to the elf that is better centered and colorful, and then the sword that is the only other centered thing but it's hard to see at a glance because is low contrast. Maybe this is why the other person above finds it funny while not understanding what's going on, cuz everything else doesn't tell us anything clear and feels all unrelated unless we assume wildly.

If this was accompanied by a story that explains why the elf and sword are the focus instead of what the lion person is doing in this location, it would probably be really cool, as the art alone leaves us with a lot of questions that a story could answer.

Garrus (my character) making a friend- on the airship on its way to Strixhaven Academy, he’s met by a handsome green haired elf who offers Garrus a pickled onion from his jar. Garrus is fairly thick, and assumes the entire jar is for him, and swallows it all, brine and all


But yeah my mistake maybe. Though I usually opposite trying to fit all in the frame. Tried different...

Learning more context about the stunning art from a story snippet written in the description is pretty fun and immersive, and satisfies the questions that the art generates. Copy paste it up there ;D

Ah, well I can comment on others if you like...
Generally speaking focal points: Characters, action, the beautiful things in a scene like castles... these elements usually are placed within the golden ratio. Simply it is the division of your canvas into thirds, both horizontally and vertically. Where those lines cross that is the sweet spot.
Another unspoken guideline is to not have characters be too close to the border. In this particular composition it looks like the characters are "standing" on the lower border. If a character must be clipped by the border it is usually a good idea not to crop them on any joints, this can give the illusion their limb is amputated. If you want, I can provide more info via DMs.
Hope this helps.

Hoo boy, this is like a perfect snapshot of the split second right before that poor lion gets pummeled by a salty tsunami of pickles and vinegar. He'll be combing garlic and peppercorns out of his mane all week! Trust me, I know- ever get hit in the eye with a pickle? Hurts like the dickens

Can't blame Garrus, I would also devour all the pickles

Such a gnollish thing to do.

Dude is gonna be shitting himself into the afterlife after that much pickles and brine...

One time serious leg cramp is all it takes.

Pickle juice will help prevent that from happening again :3

That’s funny lol

This made me laugh out loud, love it.

Hi! I also have some questions about the scene! Your characters are great, but I didn't understand what was confusing me at first, so I went to read the comments.
I can agree with the comments about the framing and composition.
There's also a problem with the depth of field in the background, where the large buildings in the far distance seem to be the same size as the airship, and the statue with the skull seems to be closer than the airship, and the skull itself seems to be drawing too much attention.
But the characters and the idea are cool, and it would be great to see more of it.)

Eating a jar of pickled cucumbers at a time, even without vodka, is a great idea)

Awesome scenery
