CGMythology's Sketchbook

[JosephCow]

Hmm yeah with what serdar said, i do kind of think with the placement of the comet, it seems like something they would only be able to see if they looked behind them. They are looking forward, so the comet they are looking at would be off the canvas. However, something you could do, and maybe this is what was intended anyway, is have a few smaller comets raining down behind them, so that it tells the viewer that they are looking at a meteor shower, even though you can't see the particular part of the sky he is pointing to.

I think it's something to keep in mind. I have noticed that in a couple of your paintings at least you sometimes have elements like light sources depicted as if they occupy the 2D space around the subject, from above or the side. But in the 3D space they may actually be far behind or in front. And in some cases that can be a matter of artistic liberty, like in this piece perhaps it's essential that we see the shooting star, and the subject facing front. But really working with that 3rd axis in space can make a painting feel much more immersive.
