I think you’re probably right in that the other ship was a bit to large and dominated the composition, but I also thing a smaller ship may make for visual competition with the primary subject matter. Just make sure the ship is large enough that it doesnt read as similar in size to the figure. Looking good though :).

Thanks Noob! but I think that the focal point of this image is of Elle and she needs to be the centre of attention.

I use both Photoshop and Painter. I tend to play with concepts in Photoshop because I can manipulate things easier and add special effects that Painter might not necessarily be able to do. When i have what i like, i dump it into Painter and start working.

Great advice Cicinimo. Will help me in my process. Wonderful.

Youre colors are looking nice as well Miker.

Camera tilt ads some good sence of action. As you develope your image, know that her expression is crutial in communicating her dilemma to the viewers.

other than that i’ll be looking out for your next update to provide anymore feedback.

Good Luck.

I’m pleased with this composition and I’ll probably continue with it. With this illustration, I tried to create ships that had a sense of flow and grace and at the same time mechanical. I wanted the ships to be beautiful in colour but have apparent stains of rust and dirt from war. The idea of the 3 legged ship was an inspiration from a children’s book I read when I was younger called The White Mountains which was later adapted into a t.v. series called The Tripods in the 80s. In the future I’ll probably make the tripod a bit more menacing because it doesn’t feel quite threatening at the moment.
