First things first: You definitely worked out any bugs you had in this piece! This is well put together, has depth and movement and is an overall smashing example of your talent.Now, this could just be my ignorance talking, but I never would have known this was watercolor or traditional media of any sort for that matter. We live in such a digital age it is easy for machines to replicate the bleed and texture of so many things. You but enough time and thought into this piece to blur the line between the human hand and the mechanical workings of modern software. That is no mean feat my friend! What gives away the traditional media here is the water, as even with the best software watercolors still yield very unique and accurate depictions of water (perhaps that is obvious, given their name).Having spent two years working in a similar environment to the one depicted here, I can also say you got the colors, textures and lighting of this place right. The only thing that would make it 100% true to the jungle would be if the water were less clear. Given that this pool is being fed directly I can see why it would be so clean, but most water in jungle/rain forest settings contains a huge amount of organic material and often turns a dark brown, almost like coffee.Excellent job on the cultural theme of the character, as well as the character himself. That isn't an easy pose to work with and you pulled it off very well.Overall, this piece is an absolute triumph!
