I know this is a very subtle change, but I think it enhances it a lot. While I was at GenCon, a very insightful art director told me that this piece was looking very flat. One of his suggestions was to just put a coolness to the background, easy enough when there are such tools as photoshop. While I was on the plane back, I realized how much atmosphere there is when looking down from above. I think this piece instantly became so much better.
This is a piece I did for the Running with Paintbrushes blog Scott, Becca, and I are doing. The assignment was to do a young adult oriented image based on "Flight". Mine is more of a children's piece. I had a great time doing this piece, and am really happy with the final product. Really fun, got to take my subject matter less seriously. The Magic Feather , 11" x 17", Oil on Paper on Masonite, 2010.
