This is a piece I'm doing for art class; I'm just fleshing out the colors rihgt now on the computer for the real painting. Sorry for the crappy image, but it's quite large and too big for a scanner.

dude, i like the perspective a lot. wish i could get some decent art courses here :blah:
-
Nice man. Very nice. :D
As turnsky said, love the perspective.
Hope you show us the end result. :)
-
Great perspective. Figures look good as well.

I was distracted by your frosty nipples.

Anyway... :wtf:
Thanks for the compliments guys. Any tips on color schemes?
-
Offhand; muted grey/light brown for the building, white and perhaps red/blue for the robes (create a focal point, and symbolise the intensity of arguement in otherwise quiet and neutral surroundings); you could also add a bright-spot at the top of the window(I presume it's the window?) to try and emphasise the general unimportance of such arguements (pettiness, right?) in the face of the issues of the 'real' world. Or you go to a more dark/surrealistic route and depict it as a petty arguement as the world outside is literally falling apart; although I suspect this wouldn't be as well suited given the general feel of the picture so far and in particular the angle.
Really good conveyance of emotion/body language on the characters, BTW; might want to redden up the cheeks etc and add to that.
-
Yeah either as aldo said or maybe go a more regal colour tone with warm purples and red streaks for the buildings and a warm / dark blue mix with the robes.
Heh, "May I see your cold, frosty, nipples?" Sounds akin to a Pulp Fiction line.

That pretty much hit the nail on the head as far as to what I was planning, and the bit for the window is a great addition :) However, I'm having trouble producing the proper tones for the building with watercolors. Thanks for the tips though, I shall try them out :D
-
So I was useless?
That's just great. >..>

Didn't see your message :)
But the bad news is my art teacher made me mess up the piece. I'll post it later, but it's pretty nasty. (She wanted me to do a triad color scheme of red blue and yellow...and she made me do a weird dark yellow for the building :wtf:)
-
Ask her what she's smoking, then ask her to share.
Take a sample of this item and mail it to me pronto. :D
-
UT, that's awesome - really inventive angle as has already been said, more importantly it really underscores the true pettiness of whatever it is those two are arguing about. Can't wait to see it coloured. :yes:

Pff. Art teachers. Bloody bunch of charlatans, taking the pleasure and originality of art and transforming it to a mechanical process devoid of joy or innovation. Art teachers are the reason I'm not an artist.
-
Aw. *hugs* for aldo and Setekh. ;)
Yeah, some art teachers are really bad for peoples creativity.
Though your both pretty talented anyway, so they must be doing something right no?
Or you just ignored em and did as you wish?
*shrugs*
*Group Hug!* :p

/me agrees 100% with that sentiment.

Dislike the perspective. Makes me feel uncomfortable.
Works great. :yes:
-
The colored so far (watercolors) - ignore the upper pillars.
Bleh :(

hey UT, mind if i take that sketch and see what i can accomplish? :)

Yeah, I don't think that really works. for one thing, the 'red' is unsettling and 'unnatural' (robes are usually white). I'd have gone the other way, have the background darker than said robes, in order to try and emphasise that feeling of pettiness (namely the 'holier than thou' aspect).
-
Well what should I put in the background? Behind the pillars? Suggestions? I was thinking of windows but that might pull the focus away from the center.
-
Nothing, I'd say. sometimes the art is in restricting detail, not adding it, and I think this would be a perfect case.
Or, ask your art teacher and do the exact opposite.
-
Well there has to be at least some sort of color there, at least faintly - it can't be totally blank imo.
-
Gentle mottled yellow/brown, like slightly aged sandstone.

I'd say just more arches, like they are supporting columns and not part of the walls. It would look more like a real cathedral that way, IMHO. Do you need color, or structure?
-
I was originally going to put more arches, but I eventually didn't, and then I started painting, so I couldn't :(
Buuut here we go...I'm pretty sure this is done. What do you all think? (It's all straight up and down, but in the picture it's crooked because of the camera):

Note to self: next time, get better paper. All those bumpy looking things? That's the paper shredding itself.
-
a lot of people swear by bristol boards.
-
Coming along nicely. :)
The pinkish red of the robes are kinda moot though.
