i should blend in the abstract render more
it is now just he background and abstract render

suggestions to do that:
-make it the same contrast
-make it the same sharpness
-make it same quallity

quallity of the texture isn't good everywhere
it is important to have some good quality texture stocks with this style
maybe make the lightsource bigger (not stonger but bigger)
now it got a little hard edge what looks bad imo

text could have been placed in the let corner bellow
work on your focal point it is on my abstract render and it should be on the girls face it think

i hope you can do something with it e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/w… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)" />

I thought this is not fair because the focus of this critique seems to be on personal taste.
I think having fair and unfair is just wrong. They should have a mutual option as well. This is a good instance because of the point MrRobin is making could actually make sense, even though I happen to not agree with all of them.
Any ways, to stay on the fair side of things I think he is right about the focal point. I admit that my eyes would enjoy a little depth on the face. That is a good argument to make in my opinion.

well, thanks for your suggestions. i think you focus more on the details and the quality of the different parts of the work. the render is sharper than the rest, right.

the textures and itΒ΄s hard edges or not so high quality i donΒ΄t agree. quality is not everything in digital art.
you have to see the whole piece and therefore the surreal and dreamy aspect of the artwork. the face comes somehow out of the thing (which is your render). the render in this work symbolizes something. youΒ΄ll have to find out. most of my works are bulit similar to this one. and not everywhere the sharpness is given, but this is wanted by me.

text is positioned there with intention. just to fuck off all these mad stealers.

itΒ΄s ok. please donΒ΄t take my reply as an attack on your critique. i just wanted to explain that for me the aspect of composition and expression is more urgent than the aspect of a balanced quality of used stocks. i hope you understand and donΒ΄t feel attacked.

I know art can be interpreted in many different ways depending on what the viewer sees through their eyes. For me the abstract design resembles a cross. For most people its a symbol of guidance and spirituality, for others its a symbol of pain that religious beliefs can bring to society hence the floating shreiking head.

Just wanted to share this with you.


excellent work

Man that lighting is stunning!
Having that said I think the face could cast some direct shadow as well.
I am really taken by the whole atmosphere. I think specially the contrast of the sharp textures vs. the fading blurred spots is creating a great touch of space.
Very disturbing and well executed concept. Bravo!

such expression to it. the sort of splatters add a great element of chaos to it. great idea
