@Jan D. @C @blockhead Thank You for feedback! I decided to simplify the background and remove excessive vfx. Think it serves the purpose as a character design piece much better now. I'll keep in mind Your advices with my next artwork as I'm happy with this one as it is right now :) Thanks again and have a great week!

I do this for a living. You want to get a high dpi printer. HP makes good printers and they're pretty inexpensive. For highly detailed prints we us a epson stylus pro 11880, you also could run heavier canvas like materials if you don't want to print on solely paper. edit : just realized you're doing small a3 prints. Epson would be grand format printing. I do know printers but cant recommend a desktop printer, sorry.

Procreate!

Hands down Characters for Animated Film with Daniel Arriaga on Schoolism! :)

Hey Steeve, overall a really nice piece. Except one major thing I think everything works great - the pose. Maybe that's just me but the pose reads as if the character is about (and can't wait) to be "..ekhm.." in the butt.. I'd suggest you looking for a pose reference, there are plenty of images and video's of monks with stick, and if you're going for what's called 'Monkey on a tree' trick, take a look at the reference below. Once again, that's a really nice concept piece, it's just in my opinion the pose ruins everything. I that helps, Cheers!

Hey, I've been using XP-PEN DECO 03 for a few years now - it's great and cheap! ;)

Holy moly! It looks great! Only thing I can spot is that all your thumbnails look pretty similar one to another. I'm really curious how you could push these shapes in different ways because the result looks amazing! AWESOME! :D
