"The boy placed himself by the margin of the well, and often saw a golden fish or a golden snake show itself therein, and took care that nothing fell in. As he was thus sitting, his finger hurt him so violently that he involuntarily put it in the water. He drew it quickly out again, but saw that it was quite gilded, and whatsoever pains he took to wash the gold off again, all was to no purpose."
i think the perspective is off... have the boy descending into the bkgrnd more. also could you pull the fish down into the bottom left corner a little and the boy top right a little more? i like what youre doing with the hair on the boy
ReplyDeleteI love love love the idea of adding the fish and the vignetting effect of the trees in the background. Kudos!
ReplyDeleteOff the cuff, the only thing that's really weirding me out is the boy's finger. It looks odd that the tip that is under the water is pointing downwards when, judging by the position of his hand above the water, it looks more like it should be pointed towards the viewer.
Also, by the way he is standing, the little triangle of light formed by his side and the bend of his arm shouldn't be showing. I understand the point of having it so his silhouette doesn't read as a blob, so maybe his arm should be stretched further away from his body so it make more sense proportionately.
This is still kick-ass though, you are doing some awesome stuff with this project (stylistic choices, textures, colour palette etc.). Keep it up!
