faux classical nonsense : )

[maths82]

hi,
umm.. yea, any crits or thoughts requested. of course this isn't finished,.. still tightening the anatomy and faces.. think the composition is a bit shot,, not sure if i can save it with lighting.. and not sure ive got a theme or reason behind this. but anyway, please crit away, thanks.

I don't feel strong to give anatomy related criticism. I can see nobody else has much to say on this one, though. Basically you have people of different sizes assembled together in a composition, so we've gone beyond strict representational work. Have you thought about having the orientation of the figures come at the viewer from different angles? Think about positive space and negative space as you are arranging the figures.

It's not classical, as if so all the figures would be ideally proportioned and gracefully posed. Mannerist, at a pinch. The draperies need a lot of work, and you would do well to set up some references. The details and proportions of the figures need work, and the great cartoonish feet are a bit annoying.
