Whatever I tell you

Critiques


:iconchristwriter:
This is a very interesting image. It's also technically gorgeous, but that goes without saying. There's a rather interesting story here, one that I'd like to know. I especially like how ageless it feels--there's a ninteen-twenties atmosphere, but the woman's clothing leans more towards victorian era...and of course the fish-heads kind of tip everything into WTF.

Technically, the only issues I have is with the woman's chest. The shading there is a little unclear (perhaps too light). When you combine the unclear shading, her posture and sleaves-bigger-than-her-head, you wind up with a chest that looks something like a table. I would set a soda can on her breasts and expect it to stick. I'd add a little more detail and "poofy" shading to the sleeve, just to clarify what's going on.

I'm also not too hot about the color scheme. Not saying it's bad (it's pretty damn cool is what it is) but the ninteen-twenties, speak-easy jazz feel you've got here is usually done using a warmer pallate. I personally would have liked to see a warmer pallate on at least the women, to add more contrast between her and the fish-heads.

Awesome work, reguardless. Not quite flawless, but pretty damn good.

Nothing's perfect... The world's not perfect. But it's there for us, trying the best it can. That's what makes it so damn beautiful.
