Description His ascent into the canopy was a sacrificial, naive testament.


Another chapter illustration for that story I'm working out.

Very good perspective to my little eyes I like it! The soft orange of the leaves is a nice way of showing the blue of the clothes... really good to look at, pleasant to the eyes

Cool !! Once again your colors strike me the most in this one!! The warmth of the tree leaves against the cool of the background!! Very nice! So Vibrant. The bottom portion (from the waist down) on the captive guy looks a bit weird to me. But don't get it twisted I WILL be stealing this color scheme for future illustrations of my own!!! I have stated it here FIRST!! If that's...uhmm..ok of course!!

Hey, its all good! Colors are colors, they're there for everyone. This was a sort of re-take on an earlier piece, and simply by trying to "logic" my way to the best possible color scheme, well, see if you can find erin mcguire's winning hallmark card illustration somewhere. Its a sheer fluke, but the similarities are greater than just the color, and on top of that she mentioned that she had figured out her palette from another illustrator (elizabeth zwerger or something similar). So yeah, its all good.

It wouldn't happen to be the same piece that won the Hallmark contest and is on the cover of the ringling yearly financial report is it?? (I don't have it on hand, it's at my job. So I can't confirm her name.)

Awesome! I dug the colors on that one too, but I didn't relate it back to yours. You definitely handled the color scheme in a different way!! It's always good to see fellow Ringlers prospering!!

I think the tree's are my favorite part of this. They are subtle as a whole but still command a lot a presence... if that makes any sense ><

Lovely work; I like how the cool greens and blues frame the main action of the scene - it makes for a very nice composition. The use of color is also superb. :>

I can imagine. I'm in the middle of a project with more palm leaves than I care to admit, so I feel your pain. Time consuming and difficult, but well worth it.

Word. This is a great piece. Great movement and focus. And the palette is fantastic: certainly not colors you see every day, but they really work.

The foreground figure reminds me of something, but my Art History is failing me. I want to say it looks like a self-portrait Raphael sneaked into one of his paintings.

mc-the-lane In reply to Smolin [2008-02-26 18:28:35 +0000 UTC]

Thanks dude. Sort of a funny story about the palette, I have a friend who won a Hallmark greetingcard contest a while back, and our palettes (and subject matter to a degree) are very similar. Though I arrived at my palette through a lot of pushing around of the colors, the likeness is big.
