Description
Pic 2 of 3 - fullview recommended---------------------------------------
I recently paged through a book by lovely ol' Burne Hogarth and was inspired by some of his pictures using nothing but
silhouettes in both black and white, overlapping. Sat down and made a few tests using the same technique. It's great
fun actually...and (at least in my opinion) makes some very powerful images. I'd really like to know if these pics
make any sense to you, or if you're having trouble seeing whats going on.

Makes sence to me, and I love it! I've always loved these sorts of pictures.

Great work again! I particularly like the log in the front of this one with moss hanging off it. I'm really enjoying this style.

It's understandable, but there's a loss of depth because of all the vast contrasting white spaces. The levels of white and black are too equal in this one, and a sense of space is lessened.

They make perfect sence to me, and I think they're very powerful too. This one is my favorite of the three, I cant really explain why.

I really like this one, it's alot more interesting than Shadowplay 1 which was a fairly conventional picture that happened to be in only two colours, whereas this is has more depth and requires a little work to see everything.
I especially love the moss dripping from that dead tree a the bottom.
Did you have a more detailed scene in your head which you removed elements from to simplify it, or did you decide to have four distinct distances from the viewer and then just thought of the outline where they met?

I like this a lot but some of the layers confuse me especially the top ones, are those clouds or trees in the distance?

Yeah, this one is pretty confusing. It's supposed to some kind of clouds/fog back there...oh well, can't win 'em all, heh.

Hmm.. looks like a ruined house. I love how you made it look windy and cloudy. Although the area beneith the house kind of confuses me, maybe add more plants/ground?

I like it. The features in the land, along with the ruins(?) or cave structure - well, it looks like the whole place is a big face... It looks as if it might be speaking... Legend lore!
