Blender and photoshop. Having trouble with the mud so temporarily added monochromatic noise. Someone in a tutorial mentioned starting a project with the basic lighting and composition so I decided to try it instead starting with modeling. Done in two weeks, expect at least another two weeks to work out the details.
Nice - but i’m missing some details and contrast.
Details - mainly in the kite - it looks too complete and flat. I would expect it to have some wrinkles and lose the “perfect” shape.
Contrast and colors - The image is almost monochromatic - I would try to diverse by adding some blue-grey clouds, and changing the color of the kite. The wire is hardly seen currently, and I think that the color change shall help with this issue as well.
Good luck and keep us updated…
