Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Sida Chen
Def not the right colors, but the concept is gonna be close to this. I guess. I’m picking something simpler because pipes and gears isn’t my favorie-either persephone and the hades tale or aphrodite. Probably Aphrodite. I want to paint mechanical cupid birds.
Venus all decked out in orange plastic and clashing blue highlights. Should’ve stuck with black and white.
I like the moody feel! I don’t think the colors are so bad as you say. Dark achromatic with touches of blue and orange is cool. I like it better that the black, white, and red version.
Good luck!
I’m keeping an eye on this thread. You can never go wrong the warm and cool color base. It’s all looking really great.
~Best of luck to you in this challenge. 
Wow, I really like your compositions and the way you sketch: really good work!
Dark colors are perfect.
wow this looks great. And you’ve already covered a lot of ground. What’s the story behind this?
Great detail and atmosphere! I also like the other WIP sketch (#9) you did. I definitely will follow your thread. Can’t wait to see the finished product…
Very good use of colors. I like a lot her face.![]()
I will have an eye on this.
Good luck and keep it up.
It looked kinda squished over, so the screen got expanded. I hate backgrounds. Going to watch Jasper Morello on youtube again to find inspiration.
I wonder exactly how much you can bend the myths-I guess, Aphrodite was created from testicles thrown into the sea, so, broken toys and…a frozen ocean?
Love the use of colors! Agree with Martin, the eyes hunt the viewers, very expressive!
