Description

This is my entry for AC Ryan's HIFX Evolution contest. AC Ryan CONTEST : HIFX Evolution

I concentrated a lot on making a dynamic kind of pose to show progress and change.

Decided to try lighter colors for a change. :) I'm pretty pleased with the result.
Spent quite a long time on this, but it was one of the most fun paintings I've done for a contest so far.
Used a reference photo(my own, meh) for the face, but the rest is just stuff pulled out of my head.
Photoshop CS3 and Wacom Volito2 tablet.

I've 2 different versions of this, and you're only seeing the much smaller version of one of them here. Anyone who's interested in checking out the other version, and the closeups, can click below :)

razpna: yeah, i considered clouds as an option at one point, but i figured if this is gonna be a wallpaper, then it's complex enough already and i don't want anything to take the focus off the main subject, lol. thank you for checking it out though
oldskool87: thanks!

I gave a +10 because I think this a very dynamic shot, but I wish I saw a better use of color overall. Very great work, good luck!

:( lacks in details a bit more modelling to make the materials stand out and some tones would have really added
:( blue background feels a bit empty more tones and suggestion of clouds, buildings etc would have been nice
:) great design
:) great composition
Overall very good work, would love to see a rework with more details :)

Hey.
Well, I don't like the feel of this painting. Other than that I don't know how this really fits in with evolution, I think you should have used a slightly wider range of colors. I don't think the colors you picked look nice together.Which I don't think defines evolution, since evolution is part of nature... I don't really know how to explain what I mean well... :)

Oh, I'm part danish by the way!

The concept is simple and clear, and the artwork is great, good job killadore!

vikinggirl: well...if you'd have looked at the larger version or the closeups, you would've understood. since the original's 2060 x 1600 i obviously lost plenty of definition, detail and color in this version. each to her own taste, i guess, but i deliberately chose these colors, because if everyone painted a painting about evolution with the same range of colors, nothing would stand out. i wanted to try something light to give it a futuristic edge.
i thought the concept's pretty clear, so i tried to avoid putting a lot of stuff about it in the description. but here goes..as stated in the competition guidelines, it could be about the evolution of anything, not just the species. well i decided that this painting should reflect both human and technological evolution..that's why she's got those boney wings on, with fabric attached to them instead of natural tissue...anyways, each to her own taste i suppose, but it would've been nicer of you to check out the larger versions/closeups before tearing the piece apart :p


plasticine: thank you so much, i really appreciate the support
zahara: thank you ver much
jawine: thanks, i see what you mean about the details, but i tried to keep things clean and neat with this one. i guess lots of details would make this look more eye-catching, but that also went against my concept. same with the background

I didnt follow the evolution contest. I find this very good technically. The combination of the two colours here does'nt work for my taste, but the rest surely does.
