o: Wow!

I read ciaee's comment, and while she's right (my eyes are also dragged away) I see an advantage/twist in this: Jack-O-Lantern is a ghost, so looking at him directly could be - hindered... Well, I somehow like the effect

If I were to nitpick, one thing that's bothering me is how the focus seems to be on the tree branch rather than the character or the pumpkin. My eyes keep going there because it's the most detailed part of the painting. Other than that, splendid work.

kerko In reply to ciaee [2008-11-20 05:21:00 +0000 UTC]

yes,i might have gone too far on the detail of the tree,however,i tried using the warm and bright color to bring out the contrast between the foreground via the pumpkin lantern to atlease set the focus point onto that particular area and also the have the character to be more prominent and blend well with the composition.

thanks alot for the precious comments,even its only a nitpicking but still it helps alot for my next works

you do have some beautiful portraits and paintings in your web gallery.

i suppose you are an illustration graduates from TOA?

best,
Michael

Insane-eyeball [2008-11-02 14:29:08 +0000 UTC]

Really wonder how you can paint that fast with such details !!! Is painting fast a necessary skill for a concept artist like you ?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

kerko In reply to Insane-eyeball [2008-11-03 03:56:04 +0000 UTC]

hie,thanks alot for the comments,it depends,but usually,the concept artist will have to finish a work in a shot period of time as the other teams are awaiting for the concept inorder to proceed with the
3d production and also the jobs are usually very rush
