I really like the etheral feel of number 3. Looks great.

[Jabbernewt]

Very conclusive results so far

[TessaW]

@jason-bowen Thank you!

@Jabbernewt lol, I know.

I tried to make 2 and 3 a little more clear to read. Don't know if it's better. It's hard for me to get it to read well without putting in a lot of time, so hopefully you can see a general idea of where they might go.

[kaitlinmakes]

I agree with @Jabbernewt about number 2

[Eli]

I like 2 also.

[Davidingalls]

I’m on team 2 but like 1 a lot also.

[SarahLuAnn]

2 is my favorite, 1 is also nice. 3 just doesn't have great silhouettes.

@tessaw Can't wait to see where this one goes. You can feel the energy. The perspective, the characters are very dynamic.
I see everybody is leaning towards the second one and I see that that one has the most specific mood and atmosphere. However, to me there is a slight disconnection between the warm colors, the cozy Christmas lights and the energy in the characters. I would further emphasize the characters' imagination with lighting and colors. I would merge somehow the cozy room interior with harsh lighting and futuristic colors of a grandiose concert.
I am rooting for this one

I like #2 the best. I can see how #1 would be a lot easier to pull off, though.

Either way, it's gonna look awesome!

Agreed!

[burvantill]

@tessaw 2! I liked it before and now I like it more.

[Chip Valecek]

@TessaW I like #2 and #3. #3 feels more like a dream to me where #2 feels more real.

[Mandy Forte]

I like #1. It has more of a surreal feeling. Which helps sell the floating. When I look at #2 I find myself trying to figure out if they are jumping or how they are laying on the floor or what is going on in general, just because the colors feel more real.

[TessaW]

Guys, thanks so much for the feedback. It's really pushing me to get this done. I've decided to go with #2 and I am also going to attempt to bring in a hint of concert lighting at the very end, to see if I can get a little bit of a combo of #2 and #3 going on. If it doesn't work out, I can always just delete the layers. This made me realize I didn't even look at concert photos when I was trying to figure out the lighting of this piece. Duh.

Here's a work in progress. Still a lot to be done. My main focus right now is figuring out the local colors of things and building up the light and shadow and cleaning up the forms. Then I'll probably add the wires to the amps/instruments (which I'm hoping will sell the idea that they are floating better), and figure out the hair a bit more. Last will be playing with hints of concert lighting.

[chrisaakins]

Wow. @TessaW this is looking great. I really like the lights in the background. This is so creative.

[Kevin Longueil]

@tessaw really nice!!

[W-Coats]

Exciting Tessa! you rock!

[TessaW]

Thanks guys! I bit more progress. I'm trying to figure out the design of the cords. Not sure if I can get this done in time.

[Chip Valecek]

@tessaw I love watching your progress. Its going to be a great piece when you are done. One thing I would watch out for is the cord going around the neck of the keyboard player. Maybe move it lower of her back so its not going to choke her. Also the cord at the top right leads my eye of the page, maybe bring that around to the left side to keep the viewers eye moving around the piece.

[Jason Bowen]

@tessaw Keep going this is looking awesome!
