Description

song title from "boards of canada"

i don't know where to begin on this illustration...in terms of what i'm NOT happy with x_x perspective killed me a bit...and it still looks like a bit in the rough stage..ugh
will most likely keep working on it in the future...but for now i have to finish this for a class project due in about an hour haha. i chose to do a scene of what a setting may look like from my original (fake game) story "Cape of Spirits". This scene centers on the character Ayato Jinsei, and this shows a bit about where he lives, where he comes from, etc. I'm still working on the backgrounds and settings of each character so this is a bit vague for now...

makes me feel like an idiot to not choose something easier to work with...]:

There is a sweeping dynamism to this that's very powerful - the limited palette works very well, in my opinion, to really hold the picture together.

The only critiques I can offer is that 1. the center of the top edge seems crowded. with that extra brown (or is that unpainted background?) and 2. the lattice-like frames that are " reaching toward" the ship from either upper corner of the composition don't seem entirely successful - or even necessary, as the viewer's eye is definitely drawn to the ship without them. I assume they are in there to add a more SF/steampunk feel, so that this is not mistaken for a more traditional time period?
