@Seki, nice work, and those last batch look cool, great job. I like that you changed up the perspective and the read and lighting is so clear. The first one and the pagoda one are the strongest in my opinion. One thing I guess I will just mention is the whole dude silhouette in foreground works but try and think of other solutions for showing scale and narrative as well. figures in the midground, multiple figures doing something etc. Also since you are doing lighting, consider direct lighting options as well as the more softbrush ambient approach. Shadow/light shapes make compositions interesting! It is something I would have added to my YT vid in hindsight.
@Art, welcome on board and great start. I really like the symbolic nature of your notans and how you use rhythm and repetition to create interesting patterns. Great stuff! And yeah our brains our built to interpret patterns so we will always start to see things in things that aren't actually there. :) Don't be scared of this. If you see something emerge, let it happen! I mean eventually you can use these as a way to do thumbnails for representational pieces.
