Thats really cool! The colors! Expression and "props" are fantastic!

Good effort. But the feather(mascot of krishna) is missing. his crown? And yes more jewelleries.

I know, I've been going back and forth on whether to add it. I love the feather, but I rather like him without it, too. I'll probably try adding it and see which I prefer.

This is very nice! I really like the colors you have chosen and the movement of both the figure and the drapery. Crits: I think you need to work through your values a little more. The face looks very good, and the drapery has a nice range, but the torso and then the near arm and hand do not have the same value range. Primarily the problem is the lightest lights are not consistant (your shadows are working pretty well, though I'd like to see just a smidge more complementary color in the shadows, and perhaps a little rim lighting to really give us form.) The hair in particular needs some highlights.

The cloth folds are very good, but are losing their edges... I'd tighten up the brushwork there a bit. The hard contrasts on the bracelet there show the difference in edges between that and the drapery.

One last thing...and this is just a personal thing... the face to me looks very feminine. I'd like to see a hint more of masculinity. But then again... Krishna's image is often very soft and feminine in the face, so that is not necessarily something that needs to change.

Thanks for the comments! I was hoping I'd get feedback from you. I will definitely work on your suggestions. (Except the feminine face, that was intentional. ;D)

Heh.... yeah I figured it was. Looking forward to the update.

His back torso looks too big, I'd cut a bit of the back off. And yes, more jewelery please, and make them more shiny too. The hair behind his back doesn't look finished.
His right eyebrow is a bit thicker than the left one. Anyway.. I love his face (and I believe he really looked feminine), and the hands are really realistic (stunning, really), and the clothes are too. Lovely~ Fantastic~ Great theme, I don't see this often. You made someone really happy with this piece.

Join me for a journey ...

Thanks! I'm in the middle of a move right now, so I haven't been able to work on it anymore, but I will as soon as I'm settled. Thanks for your input!

Hmmm - its really good... but I figure Krishna's hair was much shorter... it was shoulder length, and curly (thats what most of his idols are made to look like) and the crown with the peacock feather is his distinguishing feature... its what makes Lord Krishna Lord Krishna... lol.. oh... and I guess the facial features are kinda feminine... but otherwise, this image is awesome... great choice of colours... krishna's skin colour has been chosen appropriately... and the colour of his robes is awesome... you may skip having the arm band if you wish... but for this man to become Krishna, I suggest having the crown on him... I LOVE the brownness of his eyes, though... fav+ for the overall effort!
