A quick question as to perspective - why did you place the trees so far to the right? A conscious decision? Or it just felt right?

I think you mean composition over perspective. I'd say it's roughly approximating the old divide the plane into thirds. It's a method of adding a bit more dynamic interest to what could be a rather static image.

Same goes for photography (which is where this originated) but the reference was not quite this composition. |

Yeah -- having the empty space on the left evokes winter, not just "trees".

You can tell when I try to type something with my temperature above 100 F - I mix up my words ....

Great job Kenny!
I'd had just seen the picture in the SPOILER below and wanted to share it, and then I happened upon Kenny's thread. So, I hope he doesn't mind me adding this picture to the thread (however, I am putting it in a spoiler because I don't want to detract from Kenny's thread). Spoiler:
...in case you are wondering, this was done entirely in pencil and is not a photograph. |

Thank you! I have mixed feelings about extreme realism even though it is realism that I strive for in most of my work (this particularly one is actually less realistic and more artistic). I can appreciate the work and effort involved in such works, but even doing work in the area of realism sometime I say "why not just take (or print) a picture." Armin addresses this in his view in his latest posting on his DA website.
Here is Armin's most recent work “The Simplicity of Silence” Pencil on Board, 45” x 80” which ended up taking some 1800 hours to complete: http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/i/20...ra-d5dnjld.jpg BTW Armin was one of those that did and continue to inspire me in my art. DA Link here: http://nimra.deviantart.com/art/The-...ence-325264369 his other works are well worthy of visiting! - http://nimra.deviantart.com/ As are DiegoKoi's works also at DA: http://diegokoi.deviantart.com/ Last edited by kennyc; 10-24-2012 at 03:15 PM. |

I also like illustrators like Norman Rockwell, Arthur Rackham, and Howard Pyle because they are masters of artwork that evokes emotion. |

Just in time for Halloween (since the one on the right appears to have been beheaded).
