hi! if i had to crit i'd say there is a problem with the composition. the scythe is drawing the eye out of the page. you can use edges of objects etc.. to your advantage to draw the eye to the main subject which is his face. the blue in his eyes is very intense, maybe could soften a little. i'm unsure about that orange hitting the side of his eye/nose area, because it looks like the hood is covering that side of his face. the lighting is quite nice overall.
First of all, thanks a lot for responding! Second, you're right about the scythe! I've tried lots of positions with it before finishing but... maybe the problem is the scythe design itself... In relation to the nose, I've tried to give it more depth so that´s why I've lit it up so much, but the eye should really be "not lighted". The eyes are about quite what I wanted, but you're right about that too, since I have printed this piece yesterday and saw it for myself in "raw normal light in paper", and Just got my monitor calibrated a few days over (go figure!) I'm thinking about remaking this piece for some time, maybe I'll just do!
Daruma, you're being a good friend in responding to me and helping me out in this, for that I´m really thankful.
My very best regards to you and keep it up, with your very good work!
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
The Cutting Edge is a weekly article that features brand new selected high quality art products that caught our eyes. Check out the cutting edge prints some of your fellow artists have submitted in the past week!
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
