I really don't like this.. but I felt I should upload it anyway so I can bitch about it...
The whole mood I was going for was lost after the sketch stage. It was originally set by the composition but the color just stole the limelight, and the color isn't strong enough to carry the piece. Plus there are the perspective issues and anatomy issues that inevitably crop up when I don't use any references. The candlelight gave me multiple light sources which I have discovered I am not good at handling and screwed up the atmosphere considerably. Is this a dark room? Are the rocks red or just absorbing a lot of red light? On top of all that, I couldn't seem to decide what style I was going for. The rocks were supposed to be a mix of volcanic rocks, but they just ended up looking like sloppy goo and sticks. Is the style supposed to be realistic or stylized? I don't know. This is one type of painting that might have benefited from using two layers, but I stubbornly paint directly onto the background, so the figure looks squished onto the rocks. Anyway, I'm annoyed at it, but I don't feel like putting any more time into this painting. It's time to scrap and start anew. But it's not like the concept was all that revolutionary to begin with, so maybe this will just go into my "Abject Failures" folder. So, how is everyone's weekend coming along?  |

Honestly I love the colors and contrasts. I get the impression that the chamber/ cave she's in is lit outside of the frame of the picture, and the candles in the immediate painting aren't the only source. Overall yeah, its maybe not your 100% amazing brilliant perfect piece but for me its at least high 90's XD And I get the feeling that you learned a lot from doing it, which should give it validity no matter what <3
The only problem I notice is the arm is a bit small and that's only after I read the comment above.
Overall I think it is a lovely piece.

I did learn a few things, but I still feel dumb, why is that? >.< I just liked this sketch WAY too much. Whenever I like something a lot in the sketch stage I'm always mega disappointed with the final result.

Art block. I have the urge to create, but I don't have anything to expend it on. That, and frustrations about how things are going for me right now. Classes are boring, and my hall mates are obnoxious.
