Hi! Nice to see you back on track again!
Like 1st one, except island and monster clash and struggle. The last one looses too much because of fire imo.
While looking at, i recall there are some good picture composition tutorials, one even related to the subject…I would suggest taking a look, you might come up with some ideas.
Happy blending!
Thanks for link eppo yeah I have done some alterations and I think I have fixed the mountain and monster.
It is a pixelated render but gives the general feeling of how it is going. I intend to include rain tomorrow.
Also I have added a cannonball which I will blur and fix in either photoshop or gimp.
Any other suggestions as my project time is almost finished?
If you’re going to keep composition like this, see if you could add more evenly spread light from top onto Taniwha. There’s nothing atm for me as a viewer attracting my sight to it. As soon as i start to look at picture, i see ship, then blackness of island on the contrast of sky. I do recognize that because i’m familiar with pictures of these things. I do not know anything about sea monsters, i need to be guided, attracted to them.
But, I barely can see the monster, which is probably not what you as an artist want. That’s how i see it right now.
idk… it’s loosing drama because of lighter clouds imo. Do you have thunderstorms over there? Could it be that something on a horizon suggests one being around (clouds already are there) and we start to think that lightning bolt atm is shedding light on the battle?
Just idea fix…
Or take 3 best shots and call for a final vote?
The sea monster looked much better as a silhouette. It looked more ominous, and now…
Well, I’ll just tell you some things that could improve:
Other than that the muzzle flashes are greatly improved.
