Some extra eyes!!
I have been working on this for awhile now, I am getting close to finishing it up. I know I still need to clean up a few things in it and stylize it a little more. But I would like some suggestions and opinions on what I can do to finish it off. Being that I have been working on it for so long I am a little too close to the work to step back and look at it non-biased. Thanks in advanced 2tonezack.  |

Re: Some extra eyes!!
Zack, I keep meaning to start a long term project but get distracted so I am full of admiration for you and what clearly is a lot of meticulous work and many hours. I like the painterly quality you have achieved in this image. A comment I would make is about light and shadow. The image suggests that the lighting is coming from the window and the ceiling light above but there are many places in the image which suggest the opposite e.g. Blue shirt guy's head, shirt and chair behind, foreground Red shirt guy's sleeve. So following this idea I would anticipate that the sides of heads and bodies and hands etc. facing the viewer would be in shade and the sides towards the window in light. Also with the extreme high view looking down on the scene I am not sure whether we should see more of the tops of the ornate lighting fixture rather than a side view. The detail you have created is fantastic including fabrics, crockery, woods and metal. I like the playful look of the scene contrasting with it's underlying sinister subject matter. Great! Vern |

Thanks, BigVern. The light and shadows are a little problematic, trying to walk that fine line of providing enough details with out going too dark. I was also thinking of changing the image outside from a snow covered mountain to a image of a suburbia with the whole white picket fence and the manicured lawn, how do you think that would read? |

I think the manicured lawn and white picket fence scenario would work well juxtaposed against what is happening behind this suburban window (cloning, cannibalism and collecting china in a cabinet); 'C' what I did there? The idea makes me think of the film 'Blue Velvet'; an evocative and unsettling materpiece by David Lynch which starts with beautiful lawns, sprinklers, waving firemen, and picket fences ... then the protagonist discovers a severed ear in the lawn ... and we follow him on a journey into the seedy underbelly of American counter-culture. |
