midground test for Season's End - omake

If you’ve been following my Season’s End effort, then you’ll recall that I want to rework the whole piece. Let’s start with the midground, since it is low impact but will inform both the foreground and background

#1 baby bear render

this one is juuuuuussssst right. and here she is, STILL sleeping in my render!

The image of the sky looks great as well as perfect.

  it does have that post apocalyptic vibe
  - Deepizzaguy says:
    
    February 12, 2019 at 7:22 am
    
    Okay so I overlooked that detail in the artwork.

      if it is that easy to overlook, I’ve made a mistake somewhere
      - Deepizzaguy says:
        
        February 14, 2019 at 7:29 am
        
        That is okay since I forgot that your story is about apocalyptic theme.

#2 poppa bear render

I needed to fix the stop sign but now it's too hard. I expect you know what comes next..

Deepizzaguy says:

Nice image of the stop sign without the S.

  still reads, but it might not be a good idea to crop it like that
Deepizzaguy says:

February 12, 2019 at 7:18 am

You have a very good point since a stop sign without the S looks odd.

  normally, I wouldn’t mind so much but in this case the stop is part of the message
  - Deepizzaguy says:
    
    February 15, 2019 at 6:49 am
    
    That is true since the stop sign is a very important part of the artwork.

      I don’t often preach in my work, but when I do the message should be clear
      - Deepizzaguy says:
        
        February 16, 2019 at 6:48 am
        
        One problem that I am working on in my fan fictions is to complete the story.

#3 raw image

the raw render looks nice enough, but the stop sign isn't lit properly...

Deepizzaguy says:

February 9, 2019 at 7:00 am

That is true since the stop sign is not seen on this image.

  if you squint, the text is there but it is a lousy read and unacceptable for the piece
Deepizzaguy says:

February 10, 2019 at 6:30 am

I thought so since usually the sign is hidden from the main view.

- Alex Ledante says:

  the STOP needs to be clear or my message fails
  - Deepizzaguy says:
    
    February 14, 2019 at 7:25 am
    
    Without a stop sign, the image would be compromised.

      it would be just another zombie piece
      - Deepizzaguy says:
        
        February 19, 2019 at 7:17 am
        
        Without a stop sign, the zombie story would work even better.

#4 mamma bear render

this one is too soft, but it does have some nice atmosphere

Deepizzaguy says:

February 9, 2019 at 7:01 am

The dark clouds add to the greatness of the image.

  today’s forecast is; verisimilitude with a good chance of rain
  - Deepizzaguy says:
    
    February 12, 2019 at 7:14 am
    
    That is going to be good.

      I hope so, this piece has been thwarting me for years
      - Deepizzaguy says:
        
        February 14, 2019 at 7:23 am
        
        Be positive since the best is yet to come.

At fist glance the photo reminded me of the Wizard of Oz when the storm was about to hit. Love it!

Tornado weather, eh?

They all seem just right in my opinion. Your work is hard to critique. So I won’t.

Alex Ledante says:

you don’t have to if it is too difficult…

Personally, love Baby Bear Render, it makes everything feel like it is in the right place!

  yes truly, hungry she sought porridge, now in the real world the bears would have eaten her and left the porridge.

    Porridge isn’t nutritious, especially not compared to a chubby little girl…

As always, beautiful and interesting … real art

Alex Ledante says:

of course it needs a foreground and a background…

I like the artwork on this image.
