In Color

Just for once, I'm going to post a link to a painting that I did and I am not going to say one thing about it. Click on the cut tag to see it. Y'all can tell me what you think without me telling you how I feel about it beforehand. :)


Because I can't be expected to keep my mouth shut too long, I may talk about this piece in a later entry.

Thank you, sir. The look in Sythyry's eye has been my favorite part of this piece since the initial sketch. In fact, at one point I scrapped one version of the entire head to start over again, because I had lost that look.

That the fuzzy blue thingie (I don't know what it is, either) could look like part of Sythyry's outfit had not occured to me, but I see your point. I had concerns, myself, about the difference in the apparent "focus" of the background vs the foreground, and this appears to be a recurrent theme with almost everyone who looks at it. I've attempted to fix this, though by making the whole of the more distant background blurry, rather than by sharpening the blue fuzz. And I moved Sythyry a bit to disconnect the fuzz from zer collar. :) I hope this improves it a bit: http://www.livejournal.com/users/rowyn/85453.html
