BIG- WIP

@coreyartus @ThisKateCreates @inkandspatter @Kat thank you so much for the input. I really appreciate it. I’ll give a night time setting a try and something more blue.

Hi everyone! I’ve been tinkering around with my color comps, adjusting their hues, saturation, brightness and what not and I think I’ve made my decision. Of the four color comps I have below, i really really like the green one at the bottom. For me it really just gives the atmosphere a chilling, scary, and unnerving feeling. It gives me a horror movie feel which is kinda what I wanted for this piece. What do you guys think?

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@rinovarka haha I know the feeling! I’m not a cat person. I always have this slight fear of cats given what they’re capable of. They hunt rodents, birds, fish, etc. They’re natural born hunters! Just imagine if they’re 20 feet tall! Lol

@Johanna-Kim @Braden-Hallett thanks for your votes!

I like these! I like the bottom right one for slight creepiness, and the top left one for sheer harmony of color. I think for it to be horror movie, you might have to take down the saturation of the purple a bit on the bottom right. I'm not sure, though.

Another thing I'd keep an eye on is Thumbelina. Putting the focus on a small figure is such a challenge! Just make sure she doesn't start to look like another hydrangea at first glance.

I like the off-kilter angle, the colors, and the overall composition. The figure of Thumbelina in the line drawing is fun and has good perspective. And I like the rhythm and line work in the yarn. Nice!

@lauraa hi! Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah, i really need to desaturate that purple plant at the corner. As for the upper blue piece, i also really like the colors. It’s my second choice actually. However, given that I wanted a more scary atmosphere, i think the lower green piece conveys it better. I am going to save that blue comp’s color palette. I think it would be great for a bright, upbeat illustration. I’ll try my best to make thumbelina read clearly but i’m scared i might not do it properly. With all the elements going on, i’m having doubts if i can really make her stand out. I’ll give it a try. Thank you again!

@nyrrylcadiz Oh, I didn't say that well. I meant the purple in the whole bottom right color scheme, though it's true that most of it is at the bottom right. What comes to mind when I think of bright colors becoming creepy is how clouds get when there's about to be a tornado or other very severe storm. That's not a very technical description, but you probably get the idea. You think, "Oh, something's just not right about that color!" That said, now I'm running of the mouth and I'm sure whatever you do with it will be fine! Look forward to seeing the next step!

Hi guys! I just finished working on my Big piece. Please let me know if you have any critiques or suggestions. I truly appreciate it. Thank you.

Hi! It’s me again! Here’s a new version. I edited the threads on the floor. They were too cluttered

@nyrrylcadiz This turned out great! There is something bothering me about the cat though, I just can’t put my finger on it. It’s not anything to do with design or perspective (those are great), I think it’s in the contrast or edges. The girl is so sharp and crisp with great colour and contrast, and the cat doesn’t seem to have the same level of sharpness. The cats body seems almost too soft and marshmallowy, maybe it just needs some sharper fur edges jetting out here or there? I’m not sure. Hope this helps. Really nice work!

@nyrrylcadiz That face on that cat though! Scary!

@nyrrylcadiz This is coming along really nice! Love the texture brushes you are using giving it a nice pastel look.

@inkandspatter @evilrobot @ThisKateCreates thank you!

Hi, everyone! Here’s my final piece. I hope you like it.

[Erin.Cortese]

@nyrrylcadiz It’s incredible! I love the lighting and perspective, it creates such a great tension.
