experiments

[llywela]

Hmm.

Made a couple of walls I'm actually almost happy with. And a couple more I'm less happy with, but they do show improvement.


The first one is my favourite - I've actually got decent colouring and composition for once.
Relaxing Drive:


Second is a remake of one I attempted ages ago - the composition is still dodgy, but the colouring is better. Could be improved, though.
Facing the Unthinkable:


Third is another remake of one I attempted ages ago, and ditto the one above. Improved, but could still be better.
Life for a Life:


Fourth is an experiment. It's based on my stalled Virtual Series, inspired by Andrew's challenge on Buffyworld. I picked these two characters and this scene mostly because I haven't got decent quality pics to use of any of the other characters.
Secrets Shared:


Caps from Screencap Paradise and kind people on LJ
Resources from Misplaced Moments, Colorblinded (thanks Nikki and Romain!) and Image After.

I really like the Faith one... although they're all fantastic :)

Thank you :)

I adore that scene in your icon :D

I hope you're entering that, Jo. :P

I love it and I love the SN walls as well. :)

*freaks and panics*

but I don't do challenges! I don't post art on the forum. It scares me too much!

*wibbles in the corner*

When does the challenge close, anyway?

[koldism.livejournal.com]

There's always a time to confront your fear, Jo. :)

It finishes on the 29th, I do believe.

What a nuisance you are. *grumble grumble*

*sticks tongue out*

Thanks, Andrew *hugs*

Hey hon! So happy to see you not giving up on art completely and venture into wallpapers again :) 'Relaxing Drive' is my favourite as well, the colors are lovely and vibrant and the composition is great, you got blending pretty good down in this one as well. Good work!

'Life for a Life' is great as well, I particularly love the lighting in this and the composition works really fine, with visualising the transfer process via the reaper. Also your work with fonts did improve a great deal from your first wallapers *hugs*

I didn't read your VS so I can comment on the content, but in 'Secrets Shared' I totally love how you blended in the scenery behind the female. Again the colours and lighting are really great in this piece and the texturing is subtle but adds to the overall atmosphere. Totally worthy of entering in Andrew's challenge :)

You are really improving so much, given the little time you can spent on art, what with all the extensive writing and analysing you do! Really impressive :)

Thanks for the feedback, Chris :)
