@Davi Lo How cool! This is solid work, your time certainly paid off. I think @Rebecca Shay makes a pretty good point considering the lighting, so I'd like to add up to that! I'm not biologically qualified to discuss color temperature though (I'm partially colorblind 🙈), but I can talk about the overall lighting scheme and the value relationships. Basically, what I find is that a bit more contrast on the character might help bring up the scene! So I made a grayscale paint-over on top of Rebecca's edition of your original work, and here's what I added: . I made the bounce light areas a bit more bright, especially on her torso and clothes (when I squint at the painting, I feel like this extra contrast on the bounce lights makes it more clear to read the beautiful twist of her pose); . Added a rim light on the right side of the character to make sense with the big sunlight coming from behind (and it also makes her figure pop some more); . Lightened up the background a little more, especially on the surroundings of the character so that the darker values on her could gain more power; . And I added a few tweaks to try to make the scene feel more natural: a bit more sub-surface scattering on the drapes on her shoulder; a little light bleed on the strong highlight of the sword; and a bit more blur on the background for a stronger sense of atmosphere. Hope this gets the point across! Since I'm not a painter or lighting specialist, there might be more stuff to work on... but I tried my best, and these are the things I could find right now. Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have any questions or thoughts. Best of luck! And keep up the amazing work! o/

Wow I love her pose and the fabric! There's something about the color temperature of the lights that bugs me. I tried making the sky less blue and it looks better. If I only look at her, I feel like she's indoor at night with a firelight as a source. But behind her it shows strong broad daylight but she's standing in the shadow so it makes things a little complicated. What complicates things is I'd expect a lot of bounced light considering the marble texture of the building. That's a lot of text to say, something is off with the color temperature and I have no idea how to fix it. I would love to see if you found a solution though.

Love it! The storytelling and execution:) If I had to nitpick, maybe the far side of her face is sticking a little bit too much outwards, making the face a little flat? Also not a critique but a recommendation really: maybe try out a slight noise filter over the top? I often find it makes digital paintings feel more polished/unified. Can also help with some colour banding that you might get on some darker pieces. Something very subtle though. Matter of taste really:) Great job!:)

Love the rendering!!

Really tough one, spent more time on it that I'm willing to admit Was very inspired by Edward John Poynter's 'Feeding the Sacred Ibis in the Halls of Karnak' You can check process gif here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/eaYQ2w ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Oof thought I wasn't going to make it, so close Was a bit hesitant on going for a more gloomy tone but it's a theme that speaks to me a lot and hopefully I was able to properly communicate it! Hope you like it!

Hello everyone,this is my entry for the challenge.I have been feeling more productive at nigtht so I thought of doing a horror poster, it is also one of the movie genres I appreciate the most as well . I hope everyone is having fun and good luck to all participants. (I`m sorry if something is wrong with my writing here, I`m using google translate right now)

Here is my life movie poster done in my typical digital painting style. Here is a little background… in real life I’m an engineer with a doctorate in engineering biomechanics (basically the physics of human movement). I am also a martial arts nerd. I have a brown belt in taekwondo, and I have studied some Brazilian jiu jitsu and some filipino martial arts. I grew up watching martial arts movies. Naturally my movie would be a combination of engineering and martial arts. The title is Second Law, which the equations dealing with this kick would be impulse and momentum (it’s the equation in the lower left if you care), which is just a variation of Newton’s second law. The title would also be based on the story line that it is me doing a come back to win after focusing more on fighting from an engineering perspective (basically like the matrix… only I see things in engineering equations). My co-star, Bill Wallace, is a little nod to Bill “superfoot” Wallace. He was a martial artist that I admired as a child. I also could not resist the classic B movie cheesy tag line as a nod to theoretical physics. I had a lot of fun with this challenge, and I hope you enjoy!

Hey Guys, I am Vivek, I'm so excited to be here, I can't wait to see how this platform grows and I hope we learn to learn a lot and become a better artist with you all. I recently started sharing my art, Here's few of them. Hope you like it!

Awesome thread! Hi everyone, my name is Davi, I'm an aspiring illustrator from Brazil I used to study Computer Science and quit on my 2nd year to pursue art! Here are some of my socials: https://twitter.com/lo_pavo and https://www.artstation.com/daviseila Nice to meet you all!

Those are wonderful, I love them!!

Your work is amazing! I would like to know how do you come with the composition for your work?

Love the colors!

Hey Alex! You're doing great! I like the warrior guy :)

Wow! Those are so good. My favorite is the cloud with girl holding a jar.

Heya! Your works are downright gorgeous! Your control of colour, value, and composition is spectacular. I'm a sucker for a blue-green- orange colour pallete in artworks and that 3rd artwork is just simply *chef's kiss* Excited to connect with you too! ✨

Hi Davi, great illustrations! I really love the use of light in order to hype the composition: very well thinked and realized! And the storytelling is lovely as well :)

Gosh, they're gorgeous! i really like your clean rendering. sorry, i'm the one who asking question here.. :) this is a portion of my illustration... i've been struggling with sloppy brushwork.. Davi what would you do to achieve your clean look of rendering? many thanks..

Not sure about aspiring, I'd say you're pretty much there! :D Awesome stuff.
