The Fighting Trees - Work in progress (Updated)
-
Yup...another Wizard of Oz piece ... i'm getting there though
This is a work in progress - this one really gave me trouble at first but i finally hit on this composition this weekend and i'm liking it - i composed it so that they are facing to left in contrast to most of the other Oz pieces - my idea is that the crow is noticing Dorothy and crew coming toward the trees - curious if the composition is working for folks? Still lots of work to do - any feedback always appreciated 
-
This is looking fantastic nice start.
-
@kevin-longueil great job on the values so far, looks really good! I think the composition is working.
-
@evilrobot @Chip-Valecek - Thank you both! I really appreciate the feedback
-

@kevin-longueil This piece is fantastic - really. I couldn't help but mess with it a tiny bit. I would make the bird a stronger statement/focal point. It's a judgement call - but I think it would have a quicker read giving it more appeal. Great work!

@tessw Thank you Tess!

Really awesome!
-
@jason-bowen Thank you Jason!

@will-terry Thank you so much Will!! I really appreciate your kind words and draw over! Having the crow be more focal or not has been a real back and forth for me - it is so great to get your thoughts on this!!
-
Really really beautiful - one of my favourites from the whole series! I had a thought about wether the "nose" of the tree and the crow are too parallel, but maybe that's not noticeable - especially if you pull out the crow a bit more, as Will suggested.
-
@smceccarelli Thank you Simona!...i had nearly given up on the Fighting Trees illustration but it is now becoming my new favorite - i need to resolve the nose situation as you say - i had not noticed the parallel lines at all so thank you!
-
That piece is AWESOME.
-
@eli Thank you Eli!
-
@kevin-longueil The tree's face is really cool. Nice job!

@marsha-kay-ottum-owen Thank you Marsha!

I think i have improved it? Killed a few darlings in the process but i think it is better ...not sure about that branch i added on the wrist of the tree though......
-
@kevin-longueil All you create has got a feeling of deep, serious and interesting art, if you know what I mean. It's great
-
This is awesome. Fantastic work. Kudos.
