Description
Had to come up with a round color wheel in a unique way for class. This was my project. I was quite proud with how it turned out. There are five tints and five shades in each corner.Also skulls >
It was fun. Although it's all traditional, so it took a while. Skulls and such are in pen, and all the colors are from acrylic paints. :3
Edit: Got a much better picture of this so I thought I'd update *^* Also the purple was kinda dark?? So I fixed that up *^* !!

This is a super-cool concept executed pretty near perfectly.
About the only thing I can think of that could be improved is the ram's skulls and ribcages -- the skulls, in particular, could be more detailed, especially the horns. Rams' horns have all those narrow ridges on them that look extra gnarly with the way the horn spirals in on itself, like a spiral around a spiral.
The ribcages also look odd to me -- with how wide they are, they look more like human ribcages than rams' ribcages.
Perhaps that was your intent, but, if so, it is confusing to have the sudden switch in what kind of skeleton you're using!
Overall, though, this is wonderful -- such clean, meticulous linework, such expertly drawn details. The symmetry and regularity of the spines, ribcages, skulls, and horns is especially satisfying to behold.
My favorite part is the colored glow coming out of all the ribcages -- like there is a luminous heart in there, glowing the same color as the ring behind the skull.
If this composition has a flaw, it is the tendency for the skeletons to disappear into abstraction; there's just so much going on, and it's so visually engrossing, that it can blur a bit. Like, when I look at it, sometimes I see the skeletons and sometimes I see a shape, like a flower or a snowflake or a mandala.
That's also part of what's cool about it, though.
(But that was why I rated you relatively low on Impact -- because I did feel like I didn't get the full wonder of this piece until it came into focus, which took a while for me. But I am autistic and autistic people are known to have trouble seeing the whole of things, so it might be that the fault is entirely in the beholder there.)
Anyway, it's gorgeous and I hope you got an A+ on it, because that is the grade I would give it.
