This is more a less one of the pieces that I would like to put in my portfolio. Still working on the character and really wanting to make the background a little more interesting. Anyone have any crits or comments?


thanks

Thanks for the comment Dryfire.

I don't know about a table, if the setting was indoors maybe. I'm thinking of ominous clouds in the background or something.

Anyone else have any ideas?

Hey mike, I'm liking it! The pose, I'm thinking that mabey her arms are a little too balanced. Just a thought, but mabey you could have the left arm a little longer to accentuate the tilt that should be on her shoulders.
If her balance was on her left leg like it is here, then her right hand would be a little bit above her left hand. I'm getting a little lost here, but basically, vary the level of the hands to create a more dynamic pose.

as for the bg, mabey a contrasting cloud senerio? the full moon look, w/w-out the moon. Mabey use the clouds to accentuate the motion in the pic by having them trail off in a downward manner from l to r? You could also put some cliffs trailing off into the bg. Give a sense of depth.

looks good though i really like it so far.

smothered: thanks for the comment, you are so right. I read your post then looked at the pose and smacked myself in the forehead.

I will work on the hand level thanks again.

As for clouds, I like what you are saying. And the cliffs in the background, I thought of that but I so suck at atmospheric perspective. Anyone have some tips?
