petitemistress: thank you though

here a progress:

going for more of monochrome feel? i like the colors of the first post a lot more, i think you shd stick to them...

also, watch the strokes on your background trees, specifically that one on the right...

i like the tones on the first one more than this purple one....

**merl1n** · February 17th, 2008, 02:35 PM

hmm, it seems I'll have to find a compromise between those two colorings... I need to reach an midnight atmo, which is imo missing in the first one, but you're right, the second one is bit too purple

thank you both

**Zain** · February 17th, 2008, 05:33 PM

imo the purple actually brightens up the piece and furthers itself from that kind of atmo

the first one is much prettier

**Tydal** · February 17th, 2008, 05:39 PM

and I just love both

Tydal, Zain: thank you both!!!!

here a progress... hope I got there an atmo again....

This is coming along!

I would significantly decrease the saturation of the lamp. It's so bright it's distracting and it's effects on the surrounding environment don't reflect it as being that bright.

Transversely, I would increase the saturation of the girls wings and use that light to show more detail in the shadows on her left side. She is the focal point and i wish I could see more of her details.

Rock on!
