Description This image is a rough design for one of my page layouts for the new Red Snow magazine I'm helping on. My topic is on the Valkyries, and they're on their way to choosing someone to take to Valhalla.
It'll eventually be a doublepage spread, and not in silhouette style at all! Just thought I'd post it anyway.

Oh, and by the way, the Wagner song is playing in my head.... Probably because my orchestra played it last night :]

Well, Ipod was certainly NOT something that came to my mind when i saw this...
There is something very powerful and wild about it, the characters and all, maybe this scandinavian berserker thing, although it may not apply to the Valkyries.

Thankyou! I shall certainly do more in this style, but I can't help but feel the urge to do a detailed one too!

you're silhouettes always make me so happy XD and of course valkyries are also awesome so generally there isn't a single thing that isn't awesome about this picture

truds [2006-12-22 23:48:38 +0000 UTC]

You know how I feel about this, meine Schwester I think you should go with this version! It's so bold and strinking! Do the detailed stuff in the concept section or something. Well, is up to you. It just really grabs you in this form, and the colour works well. At least keep the colour!!

greyflea In reply to truds [2006-12-23 23:13:45 +0000 UTC]

....'Strinking'! Hehe, thanks very much Truds! I know, I'm torn over what to do; I might actually do both, and see what works best. The silhouette version is always going to be the more striking though. Thanks again, bint!

Yeah, I thought the red could symbolise the blood (ooo, listen to me going all 'art student' again! ) Cheers!

y2jenn [2006-12-20 05:25:11 +0000 UTC]

This is gorgeous! I keep meaning to stop by and tell you that I just adore the cut-out pieces. I had so many of them saved in my message center for so long. I finally had to delete everything. I just don't have the time to comment as much as I used to.

I love this. It's so powerful and the composition is perfect.

DarkJimbo [2006-12-19 12:54:14 +0000 UTC]

Considering these ladies are only in silhouette, it's impressive that they're also some of the best valkyries I've ever seen. Lovely.

greyflea In reply to DarkJimbo [2006-12-20 00:52:56 +0000 UTC]

Hehe, thankyou very much! The detailed versions will be here soon (well, as soon as they're drawn! )

S8Njones [2006-12-19 12:44:06 +0000 UTC]

Ooo definate although I'm still waiting to see the finished version of the one on your website. My only suggestion would be to maybe add a third plane to it; you have the white foreground person, and black central group, maybe a grey landscape element in the lower part underneath the bottom left elbow?

greyflea In reply to S8Njones [2006-12-20 00:52:22 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes I see what you mean; I agree, could've done with another layer. Thanks very much - hah, I've got to draw it first! I don't know where to begin with it, actually, or how to colour it since it'll be detailed.

waffleiron101 [2006-12-19 10:55:21 +0000 UTC]

I actually think this looks cool on it's own, but, it does depend on what your using it for... good luck with the magazine ^_^
