This is the final image, for the time being, I’ll go back to it in a couple of weeks just to see if I want to add any other details or define anything better. I had posted the first “finished” version at ConceptArt and the general feedback was that the angel’s position was too hard to figure out under a pile of leaves, so I removed almost all the leaves, moved her leg and added an arm.
I’ve started coloring “Felled”. I’ve reverted back to a less green tinted version from the detail above. The green tint was added to help bring more focus to the angel’s face (with the contrasting color), but I liked the slightly more muted tone of the original…I can always tint at the end if I decide to go back in that direction. The picture is about 40% finished, in terms of adding color detail and rendering, I also want to paint over more of the line art. I keep intending on doing some more simple pictures (this was suppose to be one of those) but they end up getting more complicated despite my original intention.
I flipped the colors on this one, it started with the lighter pallet , but I felt it was getting a little lost…at least in the present composition. This is part of the “Westerly Strut” sub-series, but it could really go with Butterbroda “proper” as well. On a side note, I’ve started to color the “Felled” drawing, it still has along ways to go, but will post the WIP soon.
