Great Peice, I just wish the owl was a bit smaller and the hedgehog bigger, making the size of the animals is key to a better peice. The brown of the animals clashes beautifully with the green background, both are very earthy tones and remind me of Autumn. I hope over time I'll be as good. Love your artwork as well. I think it will be quite easy for you to fix the size difference with your skill. This would make a great lower back or chest peice after resizing.

Sorry I needed a couple more words to finish this.

The blending of color is great, especially how you mixed slight warm tones into the cool. Love that. Reminds me of summer turning to fall.

However, the left side of the piece is very heavy due to the largeness of both the owl and the deer in relation to the hedgehog. My eye is constantly being drawn back to the owl and I have to truly try to see the hedgehog and the border. This is saddening considering the I feel the eye should travel from the outside two animals, in to the deer, and up around the leaves. Perhaps lightening the values on the owl a bit or deepening those of the hedgehog and deer would create a better balance, or just enlarging the hedgehog a tiny bit to fit the size of the other two. Also...is the hedgehog's paw turned under?

Over all I love the blending of colors and the detail work on the owl and hedgehog. You have a great sense of light and dark and the hi-lights of the piece, though subtle, are outstanding and exceedingly well blended. I'm not a big color tattoo person, but this one certainly receives my love.

I'm in love with this, it's breathtaking. I love how you made the stag the focal point just by adding a little warm light to him. It's composed with such a beautiful flow and balance of lights and darks.
