Title: Well, I`m stuck.
Post by: Kosvid on January 18, 2015, 11:11:51 pm
This year`s Secret Santa was a messy thing for me. As a result, I failed to finish my present in time (I showed part of it), but I ought to finish it at last through thick and thin. At one moment I realised I couldn`t come up with any way to make it better, and the picture, unfortunately, was faaaaaar from perfect. Suddenly I got a couple of ideas just before posting here, but I`m going to ask advice nevertheless.
You may comment on everything you consider deserving mentioning, although I`ve decided to solve some general problems first, such as overall balance, composition, palette.
Here is the original version I had: (https://zima74d.storage.yandex.net/rdisk/c0f3ce64e6e0447f5dc20f9e0a2d456f/mpfs/BqqiPNreC0Lz_vLAiS6l6-TTSP1DOYER6b9eqlK2VOCOJUX7_vQUsj6er3HtyP6u9_U6P9VEUyqc26x4lVW91g==?uid=0&filename=%D0%A1%20%D0%9D%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%8B%D0%BC%20%D0%93%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BC%2C%20%D1%87%D1%82%D0%BE%20%D0%BB%D0%B8.png&disposition=inline&hash=&limit=0&content_type=image%2Fpng&rtoken=c754222650bb585c560d71fc3ab1adf1&rtimestamp=54bc38c5&force_default=no)
Version #2: (https://leto37d.storage.yandex.net/rdisk/d8b1b7c1dfe59b6116e9692f67b0e8fc/mpfs/JW93tMgY8FZUpQFyZFeesbcf3XAuu1a95r4-CiOmG_wgGy0nOOMduLaKgiRWhyizdVqrxDiR0V37rUJc0DtPog==?uid=0&filename=4%20Finlal%20newnew!.png&disposition=inline&hash=&limit=0&content_type=image%2Fpng&rtoken=13cc879f128fe8be8606a23a177c5cab&rtimestamp=54bc3afd&force_default=no)
Version #3: (https://leto27g.storage.yandex.net/rdisk/d3e5259a5a05a603f6d6a94897d45db8/mpfs/OWR9ZUadYrX5xP28JUy86q7dwoHclyQOtDxOzQDo48V3R6jKPqdR01lZ3cH2E7jB-y0rEAfpb51mqtOO3JxhrA==?uid=0&filename=4%20Finlal%20newnewnew!.png&disposition=inline&hash=&limit=0&content_type=image%2Fpng&rtoken=91d7a5a6ea0c4e311d83dd40a885e664&rtimestamp=54bc3b27&force_default=no)
Made #2 & #3 in a minute, so they are super-rough, but I hope that`s enough to point out general problems. I think the balance is pretty nice in the 3rd one. I don`t like the current palette. Some colours are pure waste.
May be this photo will help you to understand what perspective I`m going after.

Nice art! The stars very well painted! About your problem, I believe the version #2 is more natural. Also you could try a version #4, a more circular shading if you know what i mean.
Nice art! Stick with this one and i would love to see your final piece! :y:
