midground test for Season's End – omake

by Alex Ledante February 9, 2019, 2:15 am 150 Views 9 Votes 21 Comments

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.

    Okay so I overlooked that detail in the artwork.

      if it is that easy to overlook, I’ve made a mistake somewhere

        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..

Nice image of the stop sign without the S.

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

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

    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

        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...

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

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

  the STOP needs to be clear or my message fails

    Without a stop sign, the image would be compromised.

        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

The dark clouds add to the greatness of the image.

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

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

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

      I suppose it could be treated as a standalone image
