Ok, there's some problems with this sig. It's waaayyyy too divided. As in, "Image 1 + Image 2" You really need to take out the wall behind the guy, it just looks... weird, when you have a mountain and a house right next to him. If you're going for any kind of realism, the bird is too big, too. There's lighting on the window behind the guy, but yet lighting comes from the left side of his face... it doesn't look right. You have a great opportunity to create great depth in this sig, but yet the wall behind the guy ruins it. You can't blur the background or sharpen the foreground because of this. Make the guy smaller, make the bird smaller, and take out the left side. Also you may want to consider making the building smaller too, it looks half the size of the mountain. Take off the black and white too, when you showed it to me earlier on Xfire, I thought the color version looked better then this. So when you take out the left side (as in remove the wall via pen tool), you'll be able to put more of the mountain or other objects (that are closer then the mountain) to create the illusion of depth. This sig has a lot of potential, but it needs some help right now.
I think I disagree. The wall makes it look like he's being transported from reality to his imagination. that's just me I guess... Haha.
No problem. I think we're on the same wave on this one. I totally love it because I can tell what you were trying to translate onto the canvas. Imo, the only thing weird is the lighting. ^_^
The cloud is supposed to be lighting the side of his face. The window is behind him, casting the shadow. If that makes any sense, a little odd I know <3
Thanks kiya <3 the color version looked bad ha, but I can try to fix it and re-post a colored version ^_^
I don't like the way his bottom half blends in with the mountains or the way he's too light. Darken up his right side some nice job, color version maybe?
Maybe you should add some flow since it is very weak. Although it looks a bit weird how Snowy said but I like it.
