January WIP - SnowyMountain Owl - Process/Feedback

[carlianne]

@Braxton thanks Braxton! Since I made the mountains all actually owls I was worried the houses might feel weird. Like why are there normal houses next to these crazy creatures? But if that doesn't feel weird to you I'll move them back in.

I was thinking the arrows might add tension like he might be trying to track or attack the owl. Obviously he doesn't stand a chance though.

Let me know what you think!

@carlianne Random thought: what if he was holding a little baby owl? Either it’s his sidekick, or he’s trying to find the home of a lost baby owl? Maybe that’s what the big owl in the background is looking at him with so much interest. Obviously don’t take this drawing too literally, but I was thinking something like this

@neschof thanks so much for the feedback! I was actually thinking it would be fun if you realize after a second read or so that those mountains are actually all owls, maybe I need to make them look more owly? Or maybe that idea isn't working?

Ah ha! No, if they're all supposed to be owls then they're perfect
I think it was just because on the previous image they were not all owls and I thought this image was the same idea

@neschof yes sorry I ended up changing my mind about it! Glad that it is working! I was struggling with what story I wanted to tell in this one for awhile so it's been a little all over the place.

[carlianne]

Still rough, need to paint the trees, not sure how much time I'll have to tighten things down.

@Braxton I ran with your idea a little bit!

@carlianne Nice! I have one though on the mountains tho. The faraway mountain keeps catching my eyes. Maybe she should be sleeping as well? Just a thought

[carlianne]

@aska okay I'll try it!

[Braxton]

@carlianne really cute!

[carlianne]

Was feeling like it needed more color variation in the foreground and background, and so the owls looked a little different than the snow.

@aska I made the other mountain sleep. Let me know if it is better!

@carlianne defenietly! I would probably also add some atmospheric perspective to the mountains, make them more blurry if you know what I mean. Cool picture tho:)
