New Portfolio Piece Critique
-
You know I was looking at the update and reading Kevin's comments and as I thought about the image some more I kept wondering if the entire castle would be more in silhouette with such a bright light source directly behind it? I mean in a real world scenario would we really be able to see the front of the castle or the details like that?
Now of course this is a fantasy illustration so it does not have to be totally realistic but it does make me think about it some. Or at least wonder if the castle should at least be a bit darker than it currently is to give that illusion without removing all of the details we see. This way it does not need to be just a solid silhouette but that increased contrast against the moon could be nice.
Hmmm - interesting lighting challenge.

@Rich-Green Good point.Yeah, with all the light behind, it'd be totally blown out and almost all silhouette (why is that such a difficult word to spell?)

OK so now that you are done working on this piece - I have to ask the burning story line question I have had. Who is the figure in the castle window???
-
@Rich-Green she is the Dragon Queen.
