I haven't done anything in a while for Illustration Friday.
Life has been busy with some great illustration projects, which I will be able to post here soon.
I had fun with this weeks topic "Swamp" - creating it took longer though than anticipated.
I have to admit, I struggled with creating the two faces. For a long time I could not figure out, if the faces should be darker, as the background is so light? or should they have a blue tint to push them more into the background and have the monster's eyes and head be the main focus?
I had to go over the faces again and again. And I am still not sure, if they shouldn't be a bit darker?
Anyhow I just needed to move on and let it sit for now. I might go back to tweaking parts of the illustration at a later date.
This is my "Swamp" for the week!
I like it the way it is, but I struggle w/ the same dilemma s/times. If the faces were darker they wouldn't be as easy to see and the expressions are important. I think they look like they're reflecting the mysterious glow of the swamp. Eerie and intersting.
ReplyDeleteLovely illustration, I love the eyes an the monster.
ReplyDeleteSuper gorgeous illustration.
ReplyDeleteGreat swamp monster, especially the expressive eyes.
I like the lighting, it's nice to see the faces clearly.
Wonderfully mystical swamp! You've really created a mood! And the monster is just fabulous!
