CGMythology's Sketchbook

[darktiste]

I didn't expect a night scene. One thing i am not sure is why so much red is above her head why so much ''glare'' it not metal it not that shiny. Also i want to justify the light in the water so i am thinking of a light house far behind or perhaps one of those lantern fish in the water you seen in the deep sea that could emit light otherwise i don't think the moon light would be strong enough to give you that result and what ever light source from the left i don't know what i could be... For the red of her head i would rework that it to strong .The blue on the cheek also is exaggerated it could be turn down. I am not against  exaggeration i think it fine to go with a lil more saturation where you want the eye to go but don't make it bleed like an armor does with a ''glare''


I tried to fix that chin but anatomy in those extreme angle are certain outside my expertise so i tried what i could. I also play a bit with liquify if you have that tool(i am using photoshop cs6) to see if anything seem natural i end up liquifying the head to make it a bit more rectangula. Something was off with the right side of her face the cheek and the chin seem to flat. I rework the plane of the chin and cheek to reflect how i see the light would hit those plane.

Oh and quick note i deleted her right ears because it was deform beyond recognition(after my liquify) and i had a lil stroke of genius just stamp clone the hair where there a hole.

Note those blurry line over her head it was just me trying to remove some of that red glow on her head but it give me idea like why not add shooting star over her head that would add a bit of story and magic to drive the eye toward her face by placing them over her head going from left to right.
