Hey there! Keep the lighting of the scene in mind. Since the moon is behind the creature, it will mainly lit the contours, helping the silhouette stand out against the dark background. Without clearly defining the lighting, the image tends to feel flat, especially when you have a dark subject against a dark background. That's why having an illuminated silhouette helps create better contrast with the creature. On the other hand, you also need to keep the forms of the body in mind. Otherwise, it will be difficult to give it a convincing volume. Notice how simply painting some of the forms begins to create a sense of three-dimensionality. Also, avoid painting the eyes and teeth pure white. Neither of them is truly white, especially when the figure as a whole is in shadow. Painting them with a desaturated blue, almost gray, gives them a more natural and believable appearance. Hope this helps! :) | Artwod Feedback
