View Full Version : Wolf
davorins 10-12-2006, 12:37 AM Hi everyone,
this is my first post. However, the piece is still work in progress, so a lot more need to be done.
In the mean time, I think it is ready for the first wave of critiques, so please jump in and give me some feedback. Ideas are highly welcomed and I'm looking forward to them.
I'd like to thank you in advance for the participation.

Overall, nice concept. To be honest, my favorite elements of this piece are the background components (moon, shambley house and overall landscape).
It might be nice to add a bit more depth to the she-wolf image by maybe introducing a crippled arm/hand/claw to the forefront that is also capturing the transformation, and it might be nice to add a different profile view of the apparition image so that it also has more depth.
I'd really like to see this concept animated!

I think you should blend the creature with the background , like using the moon as a light source
Well , I think it's too macabre for me xD but it's a good concept

Guys, thank you replies. I truly appreciate those. Kim, sorry I didn't reply to your post sooner I was busy with other things. Anyway, I like your comment, however, I am not sure if I can bland the werewolf with the background since it is in the foreground and I think I would lose sense of depth if I do that. Tell me I'm wrong.
Best regards,
Rino

I'm kind of surprised that people are not willing to make some comments about the piece I've recently done. I'll take that as a compliment :)
Anyway, I think I'm done with this one. If you would like to make last chance comment I would appreciate it.
Best regards,

I think you need to study light/shadow more. I'm no expert, but right now your pic looks like a few pictures you made just all pasted together, it has no consistency, it doesn't look like they all come from the same picture. The elements need to be integrated better.

the house throws me off a bit. Everything around it is blurred but its in focus. i am not sure if its intentional but it does draw to it and one could almost miss the wolf completely.

looks like a good start.
couple of things i think might help:
first off, the wolf muzzle looks off, i feel like it needs to move alittle down and to the right
the second thing that bugs me is the empty space on the left. it just kinda cuts off the image early.
just my thoughts. but what do i know, i'm just a college drop out.
anyhoo, good luck and keep with it.

Now, we're talking. Sometimes you need to push people in order to get some valuable response from them. Hey, it's all good as long as I get what I want and I did get what I want, some valuable feedback and I thank you for that.
inlovewithlousypoetry, thank you for the reply, I kind of did this intentionally and this is why and I hope it makes sense. The wolf, I did't want to be the local point in the picture because I titled the piece wolf and want people kind of to think why wolf when they see a monster pushing out the spirit of a girl. But of course wolf is the source of the curse and blah, blah, blah... And I kind of wanted to capture wolf in motion like camera would. The same goes with grass. That's why I did it blurry. When it comes to structure, it is relatively big comparing to the rest of the objects in the image. It is well lit by moon and of course it sits still. And I was thinking I should live it crisp. Now, I might or probably am wrong about this and I would like you guys to point that out to me.
PBCastle, I appreciate your comment. I'll try to fix the muzzle. Also, any thoughts about what should I have on the left or how to improve things. I am kind of trying not to overdo the image if you know what I mean. I like to keep things clean and ignore unnecessary details. I know people who love details would not agree with me on this one, but I am just not that type of a guy. Anyway, if you can point me out to the right direction I'd certainly appreciate that. Maybe I paint some star constellation in the background just to add a small touch. Also, did you suggest that I expend the image a little at the top so hand of the girl is not so close to the edge?
Once again thanks for your replies. I have to say that my membership is finally paying for itself now:)
