Dragonfly WIP (#2 updated)
-
I would agree that #2 and #3 are the most promising. I know that the judges like having a funny hook in the picture. I think either of these would fit that bill.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson number 3 is very good and very creative!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Number one grabs my eye the most. I think it is the cleanest composition, quickest read, and most appealing. Three would be my second pick but one really stands out for me... i think the joy of it may be a big part of its appeal.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson #3 is really charming concept though I wonder if something about it could match the dynamism of #1. #2 hilariously reminds me of something in the invader zim universe. #4 I like the idea of a costume but I feel the family portrait overshadows that focus. Not sure this helps but do whichever feels strongest in your minds eye
-
Number three! So fun!
-
1 and 3 are my faves, but I love 3 the most. So sweet!
-
#1 is just so lovely. Even if you don’t use that one for the arena. Just print frame and put it up just like that. I think it is dope.
-
Thank you for all the comments and advice. No. 3 seems to be a popular choice and I quite like the cheeriness of the scene so i'll try work on that one. Did a couple of color studies that I think might work well, I think ill have quite the task illustrating the dragonflies but if I add some near the foreground it should read better.
Also thinking to add some dragons in the background with a look of confusion and anger at the happy dragon.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Oh my gosh, I love this idea so much!! It is so sweet and so adorbs!! Love the colors/lighting you chose, too.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson beautiful! i love the red one.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I like the colors in the first one because it really makes the character pop.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I like the red because I feel it is more dynamic while I like the lightness/weight (as the colour makes the dragon appear to be able to flutter on air better) of the yellow one -so now I can't decide. Oh bother. lols
-
What a great concept! I really like the yellow one. Seems to contrast a little better with the blue sky to me. Also love the idea of the angry dragon in the background!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson so so cute!! Love the yellow one. I think it gives a nice contrast to the sky and doesn't blend with the purple of the dragonflies.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson, this is such a sweet concept! LOVE the dragon being carried by the dragonflies. I think i like the yellow one best. Not sure about having other dragons poking heads out of the clouds, though. Makes me ask, "If that dragon needs to be carried in order to fly, how did those other dragons get up there?" I think you'll be fine to just keep it simple and have just the one dragon. Keep up the great work, bro!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson I like yellow best. It has more of that rubber ducky kids toy feeling. I hope you forget to enter the contest. This one doesn’t have to be submitted until September
-
This is so adorable! I love it! I agree that the yellow looks best. I really pops against the blue background better. Fabulous job!
-
@Gary-Wilkinson The red one is so lovely.
-
@Gary-Wilkinson Can you please do all of them? lol
-
Thank you for everyone's comments! It waas hard to choose between yellow or red, but I agree with what some of you mentioned about the color balance and making the dragon feel lighter. Slowly working on it now and if I ever get the time I might paint the boy flying on the dragonfly at a later point
