Yellow everybody,
finally got around to putting up a web site which means that I can finally post some stuff here at the Broadway of digital art. This is a little piece that I did for a little competition with some friends of mine. Still learning a lot (but hey who isn't?) Also, watch my sitewww.hethesrodawa.com
for a very near launch date (like next weekend!) Peace out.

I'm not sure what you're trying to do here. To me it looks like you are either trying to do a storyboard, or you just meant for the two images on the left to be closeups of the image on the right. But I'm leaning more toward the storyboard idea because if they were closeups there wouldn't be any point to reversing the top left image.

So I'm gonna guess that you intended for this to be a storyboard and in base the following comments on that assumption. If I am wrong in assuming this, well.. I'm sure you'll let me know

So, this is a storyboard eh? What are you trying to tell? The whole thing kind of disorients me, I find my self naturally recognizing it as a storyboard but when I move to the next panels there is no movement or progression of events. This causes me to back up to the first image and try to run back through things.. but it's very uncomfortable/unnatural for me to move through the images. They just don't flow from one to the next. It seems as if you just tried to get away with reusing elements instead of doing each cell from scratch. That's why this piece dissorients me, there is no sense of time, and that is an unnatural concept for the mind to grasp.

Anyway, I do like this, it's a nice piece, the storytelling just doesn't flow for me. If you had different intentions for this then please let me know, I'm very interested in what you were trying to convey in this image.

Aside from my rambling on about the storytelling aspect, the only real critique I have is that there is an awful lot of blank space between the clouds and the mountains, but virtually nothing to draw the viewers eye from top to bottom, or vice versa.

Hey man,
thanks for the comments. Explainin' time. This is not a storyboard but close-ups of the entire piece. The reason that the perspective has been flipped horizontally was to enable the three panels to function better as a whole together. A nitpicky thing that I usually consider because of my graphic design training. Future posters ignore this and just look at the pretty pictures! Again though, thanks for the comments.

Nice stuff, and thanks for makin sense of your *madness* for me.
