    Teen Challenge 105: The Storm


    Topic
    This weeks topic is The Storm. Completely open to interpretation as to what kind of storm...but make sure it is pretty impressive. Here is some inspiration:

    Focus
    Focus is a new addition to the Teen Challenges to... well, challenge you a bit more!
    Although, for the moment, the focus is optional it is still highly recommended to be included!

    This weeks focus is edges. Get a variety of edges in your painting; experiment with how you can lead the eye through placement of hard and soft edges. This is a good read:
    http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=51913

    (We'd love feedback on this addition so please share your thoughts in the TC Suggestions and Discussion-thread, thank you!)

    Deadline
    The deadline is Sunday 30th of January, 23:59 GMT


    You've got a week from now, so what are you waiting for?!

    @Ryanoir I think you need to make the background fade out a bit more, the middle and foreground are sort of melting togheter.

    RikuK: Looks good, but right now the value range is pretty restricted. I think punching in some darker values and a few lighter ones in a couple places would really help.

    ryan: Don't be lazy with the trees man. Paint them each, don't just recycle one. Other than that, the birds could be a little less subtle maybe, and the silhouette of the guy in the foreground can be made to read a bit better. But overall it looks great--love the colour choices.

    Rikuk that's looking sick..
    Ryanoir I agree with the others about the trees, try to put more variety in there. I actually think your first WIP was more readable.
