New to SVS! Always looking for feedback - Folktale Week
-
Hey Amanda! I really like this, especially the little ghosts. I agree with previous commenters about there being 2 styles. But that should be easy enough to fix, just softening up the tree stump. I really like the colors of the background and ghost, maybe break up the brown a little bit, so it fits in better? But great job, this is gonna turn out great!

Hi Amandar and welcome to the forums!
The story concept for your piece is so great and I like how you have interpreted it. If possible I would like to see more of a connection between the spirits and the tree and they don't feel like the same entity. Also, the lighting in your scene is a little confusing especially with your mixture of styles (although the mix isn't a big issue to me if that's what you want your style to be).
If you balance out your light and shadow a bit better and maybe bump up the sun rays I think it will grow into a great piece.

@rcartwright Thanks for the feedback! I'm really glad that the story came through and the image works.

@mikecañas Thanks for the feedback! I agree with your comments on lighting, that's something I need to work on. When I get some time, I'll go into the original and try to add some more contrast and clean up the lighting.

@hannahmccaffery Thanks for your feedback! I was aiming to add emphasis to the stump with the extra detail, although I might have gone a bit overboard.

@gary-wilkinson Thanks for the feedback! I definitely need to work on my lighting skills... I'm seeing a lot of comments re: a mix of styles, and I understand that might not always work, I'm also not sure if it's something I want to worry about. I've struggled with "what is my style?", trying all sort of different styles and approaches, but I think this might be my style. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't work to refine it though.

All night the fairies dance, leaving almost no trace when the morning comes. That is, except for a magical circle of small mushrooms. .

Hey @amandar nice work! I'm doing folktale week too!
-
I like you concept here. It’s a nice way to show rebirth. I don’t think i’ve seen the topic handled this way before. Also your piece also falls perfectly to one of the folktale week’s prompt: into the forest.

@amandar I flipping love this Amandar.
The first one has such a friendly, huggable feel to it. I'd like to see what else these lil spirits get up to

Hi Amandar!
Welcome to the forum, this is a lovely piece!
I love the bark texture and the trunk's expression.
