Sunlight and Shadow


 







I did this one to illustrate the concept Sunlight and Shadow. Initially I had a "bad man" in the shadows in the background, but it looked too creepy - so I took him out. Poor bad man.... Thanks for looking.

  1. Andrew, wow, beautiful contrasts, love the washed out background - one of your best digi-figures yet too! I'm sure the little girl is quite happy that nasty guy is gone, I am too, thanks!

  2. Wow, Andrew, I really love this one — the overblown brightness just has a fantasy aspect and the young miss is intriguing. Can't wait to see that graphic novel of yours!

  3. Af thanks :) I wasn't sure about leaving the 'cutout' around the girl to be so harsh rather than finally blended but I htink it adds to the light and dark contrast. Cheers!

  4. This is beautiful. I like the color scheme. The yellow-greens and blues work very well, and the pale background creates mystery.

  5. I too really like the contrast between the figure and the much-lighter background. They're not quite in the same world, which is exactly the way it is when you're a child sometimes. I personally am glad there's no nasty guy either....

  7. Thanks Laurel and Coreopsis and Kinga :)

    The bad guy was interesting, but he had that you-don't-want-to-go-there look about him, as gar as political incorrectness...

    Oh for the days when a Pirate Captain could keelhaul a litle cabin boy for misbehaving and not be reported to the societyforhtepreventionofcrueltytochildren (sftpoctc)....

    those were the days, aha me hearties.... hic :)

  8. A lot more good work since I stopped here last...this one caught my eye. There is a lot of emotion here. I don't know if it is intentional or not but there is a look of resilience in the right eye and resignation in the left...very compelling.
    We gotta hook up if you come to America...

  9. Hya Pat, thanks for that. Entirely unintentional. I just push things around till they look right!

    I'm looking forward to more work of yours coming up soon! Better get cracking, enough of this relaxing stuff!

    cheers
