Georgios Christopoulos · 17 Apr 2021, 07:52

Ok lads!This months contest entry goes really slow,makes me wonder if I ll make it..
With this design update, I essentially signed up my own doom,since this is in no way considered cute in the contest, but I could not help it!
Share your opinion if you feel like it!
Hope the progress sparks some idea to someone!

@Georgios-Christopoulos yes you have a valid point there. I have a tendency to make thing too busy.

Hope the piece makes it in as well and excited to see the finished result! I can also see why shark hat is so nervous to stay at the Inn and the shark atop the lighthouse looks very menacing.

Georgios Christopoulos · 17 Apr 2021, 15:48

@Fay Thanks Fay!Appreciate the support!! Yes, Joseph has some reasons to be nervous Menacing shark doesn't always go well against cute thingies

I like the original. I feel more apprehensive about the giant lighthouse, I think it takes away from the inn -it is so much larger with the main attraction shining light out of the sharks mouth (don't get me wrong I like the light house lols a lot). I suspect the purple sketch is also drawing my eye to it -perhaps if it was the same colour as the original sketch it may not jump out as a much. I also find it a tad unbalanced and I could really feel the round perspective in the original. Maybe if the lighthouse was further back, so we'd feel it's presence but it would not be so overpoweringly prominent. I do like the height, it makes your character look isolated and timid. Maybe just play around a bit more.

Excited though!

@Heather-Boyd thanks for the insights Heather! Will see where this design will get us!

Heather Boyd · 19 Apr 2021, 14:52

@Georgios-Christopoulos I also thought after posting that if the lighthouse was further back it would create more depth. The lighthouse would be like, I may be further away but I can STILL SEE YOU lols.

This month I am a SNAIL in the contest!!
Having fun nevertheless with this one.
Decided to go heavy on details for a change.
See how that goes.
I hope I ll make the deadline...

Peace!!

K.Flagg · 22 Apr 2021, 22:40

wow! I think the detail is going to win you some points. I can't wait to see this finished, and if I make it to top 16 I hope they pair me with someone else in the first round lol.

Georgios Christopoulos · 23 Apr 2021, 06:06

@K-Flagg Wow thanks Kelly!! To tell you the truth I think the opposite!The detailing might cost me on this one, but I really wanted to go for it as a portfolio piece. Also, your Ship Inn looks beautiful! Good luck!

@Georgios-Christopoulos I love where this is going! Are you going to put anything in the open window on the left? It feels like the kitchen, so I'm seeing a big fish, chopped up and ready to cook. Basically, this piece is really pulling me into the world you're creating.

lizardillo · 23 Apr 2021, 15:06

@Georgios-Christopoulos this is going to be awesome

Heather Boyd · 23 Apr 2021, 20:28

@Georgios-Christopoulos I agree with @K-Flagg on the detail. Push yourself and if you get top 16 cool but do it for yourself too!

Georgios Christopoulos · 24 Apr 2021, 21:21
