okay, so this entry for SURE needs some work. i originally wanted to paint this with acrylic but i was running out of time so gave it some quick photoshop colors... except for some small areas, i don't think they look that great (the flowers for the girl definitelyyy suck) so i want to try painting them soon. my original plan is to mount them to cardboard backing (covered in cloth) with a hinge in the center so they open up like a portfolio/book/thing. :D
here's the lineart first so the general idea isn't ruined by my shitty photoshop coloring:
some detail shots for fun:
suggestions? i definitely think the guy could use something extra but i don't know what.. i didn't want to give him any big, poofy flowers though, haha
Great work so far! I know you've been really busy past few days and I'm glad to see your work :)
ReplyDeleteYou definitely have a better fitting theme to fit the idea of diptych; on mine it looks almost like an after thought which unfortunately was true (I got so hung on getting him right) XD
I agree that big flower bouquet on him is not a good idea XD He's already got the flower earrings. So I think your guy could use some red ribbons that's around the girl to metaphorically and maybe literally tie them together. Maybe he can be pulling on the ribbon; his hand gestures seem to work that way.
Can't wait to see it finished! :)
