Album Cover Illustration

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen this one was a bit challenging for me mainly because I tried doing 1 point perspective in photoshop but you should practice this at least one hour a day from Ernest Norling Perspective Made Easy book.

@elisemc I will some more figures in this piece so maybe it'll give it a more dynamic look.

Revisiting this illustration. Giving it the Black Dynamite-Sin City appeal to it.

Hey Durrell, nice looking work there. I like your drawing and the black and white treatment.
One thing to consider though in terms of content. It looks like a shoe ad because that foot is SO dominant in the scene. I'm a fan of cool perspectives, but not if the overall intent of the work is lessened because of it.
So if you are selling a new tread design, etc. then I would stick with this. Otherwise think about what you want to say about your character and adjust as needed. : )

@Lee-White Thanks. Once I add color hopefully I could make the less when I add it. I kinda went by the feeling, lol.
My client supposedly want to portray himself like a Constantine type character sitting alone while angels and demons wage war. Which I'll add later.
Also a big fan of your "How to Make Money" courses and your work.

I like the strong graphic style of this. I'm looking forward to seeing all the details you describe, it sounds really epic.
-
Here's what the point I've gotten to so far not too much to go hopefully.

@Durrell-Odom Hey Durell - looks like you are about finished! - For critique i would say that it is very saturated and hard to find a focal point - it is even difficult to look at the main character for me - my eye keeps bouncing around - everything has equal importance - i used a desaturate brush in photoshop on everything but the giant demon and the singer and it helped a bit - but i think it will take more than that because desaturate just brings everything to it's grayer self - so i think desaturating and possibly changing some colors to be a bit cooler where you don't need the viewer spending time - i think it can be subtle and still have the inferno effect you are going for - perhaps have a circular composition where the eye goes round and round - top left demon to front pedestrian to singer to giant demon and back to the top left demon - these could be the places that have higher saturation with the singer having the most... but everything else being knocked back a bit or a lot both saturation wise and color temp. Does any of that make sense? Look forward to the final!

@Durrell-Odom I agree, to desaturate from the farthest to the nearest, love this style.

@Kevin-Longueil Thanks. I've been really looking at some of classic paintings of hell, Geof Darrow, and Mike Mignola yesterday to give it that feel. I made a change to the twin towers in the background too. As far as color, I was studying the works of Mignola and Dave Johnson for more of a simple read. As far as color, you're right. I believe red was too much. I've should toned it down a bit.

@Durrell-Odom Hey Durrell - i just noticed i forgot to load the desaturated version i had mentioned - here it is - i think this is better at explaining what i was trying to say
-
This is what I was thinking also, although, I might add some "glow" around the main characters in the background to pop them off the page a little...
