Whee! flying...

Post by bluefooted »

I'm testing this first to see if it works - might have to mess with it *Edit: Yay!*

Here's a larger version of the picture. It's supposed to be Storm and Kurt flying around. General critique is most welcomed, although I don't know how much I can change at this point. Legs and arms aren't finished - they're actually there, in pencil, but they don't show up after scanning. So, my question is, what should they be flying over? It's down to a choice between rolling fields or maybe just a cloud background... or both. Keep in mind that this will be a watercolor, eventually. Thanks guys!

Bluefooted,

It’s great to see you back on the board. Already having been through grad school, I know how time consuming it can be, especially being in the field.

It’s a little hard to critique without seeing both bodies in entirety. The only thing I could think of is that Ororo’s hips seem a little wide compared to her torso.

I would use rolling hills or some other type of scenery without much detail. Maybe adding a little bit of wispy cloud, perhaps partly obscuring a leg or arm to indicate that she is in the air, rather than Kurt just holding her up.

I personally think the hips look okay. Though Ororo's torso/abdomen seems a bit long. As for the background, i agree with the rolling hills, with a few fuzzy and indistinct objects such as a house or town to show they are actually up in the air. In that particular pose, upright, I think you'll have to be careful about your background to present the impression that they are flying.

I like it, except for Ororo's foot in Kurt's crotch... that's gotta hurt

Flying over? well Kurt doesn't look completely happy about it so Maybe they are over a bunch of fangirls *grin*

What would make Ororo smile but Kurt be halfway to terrified..
