I think you incorporated your textures really well in this. Lots of different things are going on, but you've really made it work as a combination. The orange things (fire?) look cool, but I would like if one of them varied in some way from the other one, maybe turned, changed in size, etc.
I think some of the shapes in this could use some help! The snake body looks a bit lumpy and could be smoother/more organic. I love the shapes in the hair, though, and the textures are quite nice!
I really enjoy some of the textures you added to this- especially in the hair, and the blueish fin/spine. I do agree with Maya that the actual body of the monster seems a bit lumpy/careless. I think just evening it out a bit would really add a lot to this piece.
I really like that you're experimenting with so many different textures - it's great the each part of his body uses something different. It really helps give him a lot of personality, and makes him more interesting to view. I think that you start to do some really cool things with transparency in this piece as well - where his long back-fin overlaps his body. keep pushing that! It's totally working. Maybe you could add a couple other shapes along the bottom of his body - on his tail - to help bend him in space? I love the way you've also done the tone-on-tone texture. The only other thing I think you could do is add some brush texture to the edge of his tail fin so you incorporate a similar texture that you used in his hair and front fins? Maybe it'll help bring your eye around to that side. Great job, Reba.
I think the colors work well together and good variety of texture.
ReplyDeleteI like your use of transparency
and I like the shapes

ReplyDeletethe textures give this piece a collage/handmade look that reminds me a little of Eric Carle stuff, very nice!

ReplyDeleteThis is pretty wild. I love the texture of the hair and fire. You used texture in every opportunity which is nice.
ReplyDeleteI like the wide variety of textures you used. Even though its flat and two dimensional the gesture makes it look like its sitting in a 3D space
