Making Narrative pieces- Tortoise and the Hare project

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

Here’s a new update! I’m still going to add more characters on the left side. I feel like it’s really coming together. I’m starting to feel good about it. Any comments? They’re highly appreciated. Thanks!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I think this looks really good. The only thing I can think of is whether you were intending for the glass covers on the spaceships to have slightly soft edges? The feet of the spacecraft have hard edges, and I am wondering if the glass bits should as well. Lovely piece with lots of movement!

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@animatosoor huh, I’ve never really thought about that. The glass and the feet are of different materials tho so I don’t think that they need to act the same. Also glass is more reflective thus creating that hazy/blurry look I guess. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll try it out.

Here’s what I’ve got so far. I don’t like it. I need your help guys.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I think you need to reduce the intensity of the shadows of the vehicles & flatten the detailing of the crowd in the background..its getting a lot of attention. I'd also reduce the opacity of the glass of the vehicles & make them more transparent, the transparency of the glass would differ between the two vehicles because of the space between them & would add depth to the scene. Looking good otherwise.

What do you not like about it ?

Hi, everyone. Sorry I’ve been away for a while. I’ve busy lately. Anyway, i’ve been working on my Tortoise and Hare illustration and this is what I’ve done.

I finally know why I don’t like the second illustration. It was because of the crowd.I’m just not good with crowds. I wish I could just remove them and put some cool space background but I’ve already established my story. I guess you just can’t win them all, can you? Finish not perfect, right?

Anyway, the fourth piece is in the works. I’ll update you guys soon.

Ha ha this is funny, hare is chilling...love the floating minibar.

Hi, everyone! I’m finally calling this piece finished. I’m so happy I can take this off my mind. I think I’ll stop here. I don’t think I can finish the 4th illustration. That’s alright though. 3 out of 4 is not bad. I hope you like this one. Thanks!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I've only been here a week, so I'm seeing all these for the first time. I just wanted to say that I really like these pieces.
