Feedback: Which piece exemplifies me?
10 years ago
General
I would love some feedback from all of you, my loverly watchers. I always have pieces that I admire, but what do you think exemplifies my work/style the best? If you could pick any piece in my gallery that you believe highlights my art, which would you pick, and why? The piece with the most feedback will likely be my 'featured' piece that showcases my overall look to new watchers. I want to change the first image people see, but obviously I like different pieces for different reasons.
If you're willing to take a few minutes for some feedback, it would be appreciated.
Thoughts?
For one, it of course looks gorgeous. xD
I like the way the feel of the picture changes from the background to the foreground. In the back, you have clouds that look paint-brush-y(Hah! Title is Brush the Sky...xD See what I did there?), and then the detail gets smoother and more in-depth as it moves towards the character.
The rocks bordering the water don't have the same feel to them - some artists, the picture looks entirely the same, and it's clearly in their style. For this one, the rocks are smooth/kinda curvy, whereas the water has its detail shown through straighter lines with pointer turns.
I also adore how you did the shadow on the water, and how it draws together the lotta detail in the character, and the softer vs. more jagged feelings from the rock and water.
Okay it's a floofy angel dragon, too. So cute >.>
Anyway...I like looking at art and seeing where the piece draws my eyes. I find the better art pieces have a thing about them that draws me attention in different directions more like a sequence, instead of just 'here's a thing'. I think the linked piece above does that quite well.
"Unleashed" I think highlights good examples of your skills in overall anatomy, detail/texturing, lighting and atmosphere and the balance you're able to strike. No, I didn't pick it for the subject matter :)
"Brush the sky" is an absolutely stunning piece, also with great details and lighting, but it doesn't exemplify your overall work - since it'll be hard to reproduce such a great balance (unless you think you want to do this much background and blending work for coming pieces). I think it's the best one in your gallery but not exactly a good example for a first impression and with a character that is more difficult to relate to since it's so unique. I hope that makes sense.
Hope this helps.
