Die in the afterglow we hoped to find.



Hey guys.
To those of you who were expecting something absolutely amazing to come of this as I was--I apologize. It's been months since I first started this--and for several reasons, I need to call it finished now.

Thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one! It made a huge difference and I appreciate it! :]

This is possibly the largest picture I've worked on. And if there's one thing I learned from this--it's that I definitely do not have the stamina to do this stuff XD; haha.

Anyways, I hope you guys like! It was my moster project of 2007--that ended up extending into 2008 D;!

You call that unfinished? The level of detail is amazing; I certainly wish I had that kind of stamina! (:

Wow, you should do more stuff like this! Everything is so good! Only thing I would change, or think should change, is the lighting on his cheek. I don't think it would be that bright there. But that is my opinion.

This picture overall is amazing. :wow:

I actually have some crits on it for you though, but I won't say unless you want me to, since you seem to want to be done with it.

But the background... holyshit it's so good!

Haha thanks <3

Hahah, well this is just my opinion on it, but here goes.

First of all, I think one of the major problems is that the background and foreground blend together a bit. It's a bit hard to tell exactly how far back the burning part is in relation to the person and the canyon. You could fix it by outlining everything in foreground, including the plants, and/or giving them backlighting. Actually, I think backlighting on the plants in the foreground would really make them pop out more. Besides that, the only other thing is maybe the flaming butterfly- it seems a little small, since it's an important part of the piece, and it's just a little small for a butterfly in general.

It's still a beautiful piece though (I feel really bad for critting on it XD). I'm in awe of the detail in the background and the beautiful lighting on the person x_x
