Sketchy lines, and try hard effort.

sweet improvement. I like your still life trad in the first pages. but the last pieces are definitely strong :)

for the last piece , i have a strange feeling than the girl doesn't belong to the environnement. this is just my feeling :p
May be because she is very detailed in comparison to the background. I may blurred/darker the columns. Or may be add a little lens distortion to help to get a full sense of room .

also the lighting could help a lot. Here you have one background light ( very north ) and the girl get a light in her face. The two column seems getting another light almost like the space behind the throne was the main source of lighting. Reducing the light sources will help the clarity and the readibility.

Last details i can suggest is about your black level , you can make the column darker to harmonize with the darker pixel of the girl, it will help to integrate them. if you want :). I know i guess you wanted a focal interest but the difference is slightly too much. (my job was vfx digital compositor). Hope it helps :)


I was thinking about begin again a CA thread but it seems to be hopeless ^_^ thx for sharing it.
