Artist's Comments

This piece was started as an exploration of the archetypal imagery and idea of death as a deity. I decided to somehow interpret, in a modern sense, the idea of an angel of death.

Minor edit: Darkened the eyes sockets a bit as suggested by: CrisisProject:iconcrisisproject:
It made the world of difference, thanks for that.

I love the concept. A modern day death is just what the world needs. A reminder that he is out there, looking a lot like everyone else, blending and yet differentiating himself from all of us... or all of you... :mwahaha:

What if there were no hypothetical questions?

I really like it, and I understand the transparencies within the layers but I would like to see a little more contrast, more ';pop' as you would say. I think the theory that led to this is very interesting, gives it a lot more depth.

Hi cheers for some constructive crit, don't always get that. Its all separate layers, sprayed in corel painter somewhat like real stencils, so I can punch up or dial down contrast and pretty much make them all whatever colours I want.
I did have the pink one heck of alot brighter to the point of being almost day-glo but it felt a little aggressive when teamed with the subject matter, maybe is was wrong. May I ask in particular which areas you think need the contrast?
The wings kind of need to stay as they are as when I had them any brighter they jumped forward ahead of the layers they are supposed to be behind in terms of visual depth.
I think the birds could use a bit more colour maybe, particularly the small ones.

Did you cut the lines for the wings or is that some kind of screen?

I thought this was a physical stencil, the fact that it isn't is awesome, and thought provoking *scratches chin*

I agree with your decision about the pink, anything more vibrant would take away from the piece entirely. I also agree with the wings, but not the birds, I think they are great the way they are.

My suggestion would be to darken the blacks in the pilot, in one of two ways. If the skull is presented to be blurred as if it was behind a glass mask, I would leave it. However, darkening the eyes of the skull would draw you deeper into the piece. They are 'the windows to the soul' remember :P

The other suggestion would be to darken the blacks on the character altogether. Possibly a bit different here and there in terms of opacity, but the contrast not only will bake the entire piece ';pop', but will also differentiate the foreground, from the middle, and background.

Can you give me more into on this Corel Draw spray painting thing you got goin on? Or did I read that wrong.
