Description

Have you ever noticed a lone cloud in an otherwise clear blue sky and wondered what it was doing there?

Note: This is an updated version (6th of Feb). I decided to make some revisions based on critiques given below.

Main changes are -

- Extended the canvas
- Altered position of neck/head area
- Remove setting sun from frame (painful, but I think it works better)
- Many smaller alterations/refinements

Let me know what you think!

Nice theory. Cool pic. The cloud looks very soft & touchable - I wanna! I wanna! - Hasn't she any fingers on the left hand? o.O

Nice. The angle is great and the colors are wonderful.

The lighting looks really good on the figure and the cloud, but I think that the sun sould be way more to the right, possibly out of the format altogether, for the lighting to be completely coherent (at least that´s my impression).

The contrast between the woman and the cloud - the softness and the detail on her clothing is excellent. Well done

Cool concept, I like the perspective, nice colour combinations. The possition of the neck seems a bit exagerated though.
Good work!

Thanks for the comments - you make me feel all warm and... er... glowy?!

augustopatino - You are of course right about the sun - I cheated my ass off. I think it was actually much worse at an earlier stage of painting. I tried extending the canvas but it didn't look right, so I cheated!

Nell - yes she has fingers - the left hand is obscured by cloud... not sure how well that comes across though - my eyes have gone funny from looking at it too long

Fooxoo - erm... yes... I think that was down to lazyness during the initial sketching... just don't tell anyone... oh... you already did...

Colour and ambient light

Sense of distance

Originality

Sun's position

Composition - the wings almost touching both borders
Great job

Ok... here it is... the revised version...

Hope you like it... tidying it up after the alterations was a pain!

I missed the original, I don't know how or why, but I'm glad I got to see this now..

Love the concept, and I think the execution went well. I'm a little interested why she is comprised of colors you would expect on a creature of the night.

Great effort +9

Hey! Thanks!

About the colours - She is indeed a creature of the night! - She is hiding atop a cloud waiting for the sun to go down...

Cool concept man. I'd hold onto this for a future remake when you develop your skills more. (you already realize the lighting error so no sense in repeating it)

But don't be mistaken: It's loads better than most work in this genre. Good job.

Mythmaker

02/09/05 @015

Well... the thing with the lighting was - it wasn't so much an error as a (bad?) choice. I realised quite early in the painting that I was greatly exaggerating the lighting angles - But I thought it looked more dramatic that way. And I didn't want to remove the sun because I liked it as part of the composition. So I kept it as it was even though I knew it was wrong, and people would probably point it out...

But now I've given in and altered it...

...and I miss the sun

I love how you did the background, is like diagonal you know, and it gives the feeling we're fying with her! I really dig the amount of details put on it!
