denikina: Thank you! Ugh, hands will bring me to an early grave one day. Not literally I hope, but still...
meat: Are you sure you want to do that? I might befriend her and take over world domination...
Tien: Thanks a lot for the kind words! :)
Jaik: Lol, perspective is always a great key word to throw at me, you'll always be right with that one! :P I do think that the color game helped, because it showed me some things about sky blue that I wasn't aware of before (gradient and hue and saturation), and also that I'm not neccessarily going too saturated in my pieces, but it's all about control - saturate the right areas (and colors). Also more awareness about things I was doing anyway, but only intuitively (like how yellow and bright areas behave when they get brighter). I have yet to prove that I can put it to good use in my own pieces, which is the hardest part though :(
Don't be unnerved by boobs! Boobs are nice, believe me. I was considering covering them up, making it more suitable in a design sense, but decided to try and push the 'crazyness' instead, to a degree where it's not about the boobs anymore but more like you'd feel like with tribes - where it feels just natural that their breasts are not covered. I'm not convinced I succeeded, but that's my excuse! :P
Nightwish never broke up! They kicked their singer Tarja many many years ago and hired Anette (which left my fan-heart bleeding in pieces), and now they kicked Anette and got Floor instead. Floor is super-awesome so I'm very hyped for the new album in early 2015!!
rafa: Haha yeah, got some (partly self-imposed) deadlines around Halloween I had to keep, also need to push myself more to do application and not just studies. Thanks for the kind words, glad you like the gestures :)
Archreux: Lol, don't worry about replying! Took me a while to find the message button myself :P Thanks!
ramalooke: Thanks a lot for the crits! You're right about the forms ... I wonder if that is me getting in a hurry once I'm done with focal points. Might have to slow down a bit more and make it more consistent, and think about the big form first and then details... thanks for pointing it out!
technique test
...which led to this mess with no special technique or workflow whatsoever... keep repainting and repainting and hoping it'll get better! such a mess, but didn't know how to approach it differently, forests are hard! critique appreciated, because that one better turns out good (going to be a present). below is the (mood) thumbnail.
