@StudioLooong I have never heard of the term "too theatrical" in the context of an illustration before. This is all new to me and I found it very interesting. Thank you for sharing this. To me, the intriguing part of the image is having a living creature inside the snowglobe. Such a creative take on the prompt. I would also find the image very fun to look at if the fairy is building the snowman, or dancing in the snow without even realize someone is watching her, and Will is being surprised and charmed by the scene.

If you want the fairy to be hiding from Will, maybe having her turning the head towards him a bit, finding an angle that is different from the boy's face (right now the two faces have the same angle and similar expression :-).

Hope this makes sense.

This is a really fun image! I want to know what happened! Since you asked for feedback I thought I would experiment, I hope you don’t mind. I thought I would see if I could bring more attention to the character in the globe(I missed her at first glance) ...made globe brighter with contrast/ boy darker/ cropped the image/ warm tone on boys face/ subtle back lighting on boy/ eye deform in glass......just a little different treatment...this may be left field from your intent but thanks for posting...![alt text]( image url)

@StudioLooong Really nice image! I especially like the scene in the snowglobe, so much so that I would probably crop it to have a nice single focus on it, like so.

StudioLooong

@jbleau wow, this crop is so much better and I like the other suggestions as well, I'll try tp work some of it in as I keep going. I am afraid of it getting a little too dark overall but I like how the snow globe becomes the focus here.

StudioLooong

@xin-li yes! perfect!

@StudioLooong Glad to offer suggestions! Hope they help explore options

Still working on a few things but I thought I’d post an update. Here’s where I’m at with the snowglobe scene, I think the story is coming through a little better now, just need to fine-tune some of the colors and rendering.
