A Need for Escape

Description

Here is my Contest Entry for :iconthedogzlife:

This is kinda supposed to be based off of this:

:bulletred: From FotT prologue:
"Then suddenly she realised that the evil presence was still in the air. It seemed even stronger now. She felt a low growl rising in her throat. It was getting so powerful now it almost choked her.
Then there was a deafening roar that split through the air, making the ground tremble. This was definitely something big. Something very big. As she glanced up she realised that the sky was starting to turn black with dark, threatening clouds that didn't seem natural. Then over the cliff surrounding the forest a mist came, black as night, turning the ground behind it grey and colourless, devouring everything in it's path. There was only one thing it could be; a curse.
"Kal, run!"
Pushing her fear away, Kal glanced up to where Waka was on the tree branch, calling out a warning to her. As the curse engulfed the tree it was uprooted from the ground, and Waka was forced to teleport away in a cloud of sparks before he was thrown out.
Great. Convenient time for her collar to break. Now unable to copy the prophet's vanishing act, Kal glanced around, trying to find some means of escape. Her eyes came to rest on the entrance to Tsuta Ruins, which was wide open. Hoping that the curse wouldn't spread inside there, she unfolded her wings and sped towards the entrance."

First of all I like the atmosphere in your picture. It matches with the FotT prologue very well.

The composition is good. Kal is in the lower right corner, whereas the threatening clouds hover in the upper part of the picture. It increases the feeling of danger etc. in my opinion.

The colors for the sky are very nice, too and it's great that you used these warmer colors for the highlights on her fur.
You should have done this for the meadow as well. The grass is too green and blue in my opinion for a dawn scene. It should be darker and more on the orange/green side. You can use reference pictures. Google is a great source. I use it very often. ^^

I like Kal's pose. The viewer of your picture can see that she's escaping these clouds. You should check the anatomy of wolves again and look at bat wings though. (Your friend is Google again). The left front leg is too much tilted to the left and the back looks like a rectangle. Looking at skeletons helps you understand what is happening under the pretty fur, too.
But the paws look great and I love that you indicated the fur. It looks fluffy~

You should always be aware of the lightsource. I guess you wanted to have only one lightsoure in your picture, right? But the highlight on her fur indicate that the light is coming from the upper left corner, whereas the shadow under her shows that the light is coming from the upper right corner. That's why Kal looks a bit out of place. While I do the shadows and highlights, I sometimes have a top layer with only a bright yellow circle for the lightsouce in it. That helps me remember where the light comes from.

Overall I really like your picture. You put a lot of effort into it and that's really great! Keep up the great work and have fun!
I hope you find the critique useful.
