Artist's Comments

this is an illustration for "The Golden Key" by George MacDonald.

It is supposed to be an extremely subtle image. I wanted it to be very light and whispery, very quiet. And yeah, the key is blue, not golden (artistic license!) I also wanted it to look very modern and design-y. I was originally going for minimalistic, but then I decided to add the swirls and birds.

Very pretty...but I can barely see it! T_T I had to turn the brightness on my screen waaaay down. >.<;;






On an entirely unrelated note...did you ever finish my commission of Neila? >.>;; I saw the line art, but never recieved the colored version. D:

Oh, that is gorgeous!
The colors are so subtle, and the swirls are so captivating...
The birds are very cool looking.....
And the two figures are very adorable!

I dunno if I like the white pattern(?) on the background, I think it could do without maybe (but that's just my personal taste really) but I like the gentleness of the whole thing. Looks great.

do you think it would look better without? Just leave that space blank? I actually tried that, but it felt empty to me ( I think I have a problem with over-ornamentation) But I'm really am interested in what other people think. Thank you so much for the crit, any suggestions are helpful! :)

I have a problem with simplicity :b I think it's just our tastes, and since it's your piece then stick with the ornamentation ;) over or otherwise, it still looks nice.
