@Fedodika @Leo Ki
Heya! Thanks again for both your comments. I did this time try to keep the grays focused on the background, I wanted to see if I could pull those kinds of magical effects with a lighter time of day setting? Or Overcast. Because with dark backgrounds they stand out easy enough. I see the color change Fedodika but this time it feels really dull, all the energy is lost, from the left side mostly. It's like the difference of seeing a black&white picture or a color one, you know that feeling? Like the emotion is drained from it.
So I had never thought about those flow lines you mention and now that I see, I think to me the white&red entity is balancing the other, like it has that opposing curve you mention. Not sure what is making you see a straight vertical? Maybe the puddles below are skewing things? I feel that clashing works with the theme I had in mind. She's kind of struggling to keep them in line? Like they want out! Ha, and it's a battle of wills. So there's that confluence of everything struggling outwards but being bent onto the center, like bending iron bars!
So the side pose comes more from making someone threatening. When you turn your torso, which is a thing done in combat quite a bit, is more for defense, you can deflect attacks easier that way, it means business! But also means you aren't confident. Take a different view, when someone stands straight, tall, and rigid, it makes you tense up. They are blocking you, looking down on you, they know you mean nothing, and that is what I wanted her to do, she's out of herself, power rushing so it should be intimidating. That's also why I feel laying her back or turning her would work as well, I think rigid works better for the visual read about the emotions at play.
I hope this sort of explains a bit more what I was feeling, because while I do this I never really think of it, I just have the image in my head and later on, after I check it back again I can reason those little things. So I'm clueless most of the time! Ha.
Leo Ki, I'm glad you liked the skulls also! Ha, I've been thinking lately I need to work a bit my expressiveness on objects like those, visual language, is always in my mind but I rarely try so seeing that they work for you makes me really glad! The music scene I would say, it crossed my mind to go all dark and have single spotlights for them, so it's a very nice idea. I just didn't know if I would be able to make it work, but I'm gonna be on the look out for something like that because in my mind I seem to remember seeing something like that somewhere. Memory is tricky that way.
