Digital Art Traverse the night [LP]

I originaly planned to make a sig, but it just became an LP
V.1

For this I tried to get the shadow right, but it was a bit confusing.

V.2

Shadow came out a bit better on this one.

Now I shall write a poem.

And thus he was cast out
And he began to walk about
Throught the night
Skies so dark yet lights so bright
All alone in a strange town
He tried to smile but could only frown
As he ran off into the night
And turned his back on the light

 

The second one is better. Close up on Vincent without anything distracting you around him. Awesome job though on both of them.

 

The graffiti was a bit distracting, and Vincent blended in with the multitude of color graffiti but apart from that, it was nice ^^

 

The first one is better mainly because the shadow of Vincent looks cooler on the ground BEHIND him.

 

For the first one, the shadow does look rather funky - it may be that it doesn't look like it's following the law of perspective like the street ground does. I would have tried stretching the shadow horizontally a couple of times, and softening those edges so that it becomes less viewable the longer away from the source (Vincent) it is. It all depends on the source of light/time of day. I also noticed that when you made the shadow's source start right on the toe it looks like he's standing on his toe rather than having that foot landing you know? May just be me.

You should try to add some reflecting colour on his armour to make it look more realistic, it doesn't take much to make the difference you need. Since the city looks like it has a warm tone to it's building during this time of day, try adding some of the one you like and see how that goes. Maybe a liiiitle bit on his cape too, you have to admit that the guy stands out a little bit compared to his surroundings right?

It's looking really nice otherwise though. If you decide to work more on it, concider the shadow and reflections caused by surroundings on the character eh?

 

I have no idea why you capitolized behind is if you were trying to prove a point, but in the second piece if you look at the placement of the light source and the shadow then it makes sense if you have common sense.

First piece of good CnC I've had in ages. This will help me a lot next time I try this style.
