Is it supposed to be floating or jumping? To me it seems like it is in the air, though the right paw/front paw seem to indicate slow movement forward. Also the Manticore body seems a bit flat/2D. And the background has a fisheye applied to it that I don's see on anything else.

The lighting is great and so is the anatomy.You used a vignette - all the tricks of the trade... but subject matter and the cartoony style reduce the difficulty of the painting and the challenge it poses, imho. It's somewhere between a quickpaint and a true digital painting. Your style is interesting, but what saves this picture for me is really the color composition and feeling for light, not originality or detail.

Amazing O.o ...Was this all done in PS or did you scan in the linework? ...also do you have any advice for a novice digital artist like myself. Thank you :D

This particular piece was all done in Photoshop. I will sometimes draft the first sketches on paper, scan them and bring them into Photoshop. The way I chose the method just depends on how I'm feeling for the drawing. I tend to do many more drafts if I start on paper.

As far as advice, I'd say lots of practice and watching videos of other artists. I learn a lot from watching the methods that other artists use while they are painting.

If you're coming into digital art on a tablet, I think the best practice is writing rows of text in your drawing platform. I would write out poems on my tablet into Photoshop in order to familiarize myself with it.

Thanks for your interest!
