Same idea, just working out my composition.
I think I am going with the idea of a mystical pimp in the present day, instead of an ancient wizard.
I added a girl hanging on strings on the forewround too. I’m sure someone already came up with the idea of a puppeteer as master, but the girl hanging there helpless communicates the master-slave relationship better.
see you soon,
Bruno
I like this last layout, but the youth power would be tough to convey. Not really important what it does, come to think of it. It’s just important to convey that he has it, the women want it, and show what they will do to get it. Then you’ve got your master/servant relationship.
BTW, the girl in the foreground seems wasted as a puppet on strings. If walking toward the “camera”, you can show her as a satisfied customer, a stoned out zombie or a disgusted individual who can’t be tempted. Maybe she’s tempting the viewer instead. . .
Just wanted to throw out some ideas. Good luck!
Hi, my friend!
All woman slaves look like they are equally treated by the master.
It would be interesting, just pick one or two woman and give them some special relationship with the master. Right now, even though front woman has big portion of painting, she looks small. I guess she doesn’t show any better relation with the master than others have.
Keep it up!
Go Bruno!
thanks Tae. I already changed the layout of my piece – again!

I got rid of the foreground girl, as you guys suggested…
I’ll post it some time tomorrow…

Hey, it’s Mo. I’ve entered the Challenge myself. Very excited but trying to seem cool, you know. Anyway, please come see my stuff sometime. No one seems to want to leave any comment, and I’m feeling lonely… Check back with you later.
rough concept idea for the ‘mystical pimp’. He won’t be sitting anymore. this way he takes up more room in the final piece. This is a character / relationship based contest, I’ll worry about the background later…
if you got any comments or feedback, feel free…
hahaha… soon my friend, soon… I will get to girls. that will be the fun part…
thanks man 
This is it. It’s decided…
I might add something on the foreground. But overall I like the way this is heading… I gotta move on anyway…next thing you know the contest is over…
cheers,
the last concept is great, but what if you have the foreground woman turn her neck but the back is slightly toward the audience, just a thought…I love the colour scheme and the expressions…
This is what I’ve done today. (aside from vaccoing my hole apartment…) I’m posting the coloring WIP right after that.
This is the extent of my ‘line art’ . I like to keep the drawing loose. Plus, most of my decison making happens while painting.
Usually it bytes on the foot though, as I end up having to print what I have on the computer and draw over and fix things by hand…
oops! had some techinical problems
yesterday…and I forgot to comment on what I added (on the line art submission): the girls raising off the floor.
I’m not sure yet, but I think I might add this girl either being punished or being raised from inside the pimp’s dark cape. Maybe te end of his cape moves / looks like water or oil… and that’s where he keeps his girls, in this this dimension inside his cape.
something like that…just going with the flow I guess…
I like this concept, the facial expression is very clear, yet you need more drama, beautiful colors and poses…
you’re right. I’m working on it… I did turn her back like you suggested… I’m hoping as I continue to work on it, I’ll finally warm to it and come out with something super dynamic / dramatic…
thanks
Thanks for visiting my thread and giving advice:)
Just one thought about your picture. I find your post #14 more dynamic.:shrug:
Maybe te end of his cape moves / looks like water or oil… and that’s where he keeps his girls, in this this dimension inside his cape. Some kind of oil with iridescence ? Just a suggestion, of course
[size=2]Anyway nice start. Looking forward to see more:thumbsup:

I lowered the angle of the camera so it’s more dynamic.
those 2 girls on the foreground would be coming out of the pimp’s cape…
that’s all I got so far, specially since I changed the angle, I won’t be able to use what I painted before…that’s too bad… I like the girl on shorts…
