The last piece of feedback that I got in term 1 was that I needed to correct the islands for atmospheric perspective, as well as add some more natural looking grass/texture to the islands. I was also told that the islands looked quite washed out in comparison to the background, so I might want to work on the saturation and values in order to create a more naturalistic looking piece.
This is where I was at by the end of term 1 - the background definitely helps the composition, but it is still hard to get a sense of space since the objects still look quite flat:
Over the holidays I added a texture to the closer areas, and once I returned to class for term 2, Keat suggested i make the closer islands appear as though they were more in shadow in order to enhance the depth further and help to place focus on the central tree.
Here is what the background looks like currently:
Shadows have been added, as well as an overlay/add layer to most of the islands. The further ones are more washed out which handles the atmospheric aspect quite well. The closer islands are more texturized as well, giving them softer edges.
Our feedback today suggested that i tweak the tree so that its colors stand out from the islands around it, and soften its edges so that the silhouette is less sharp. I also need to add a blur to the islands closer to the back, so that they appear more out of focus, further highlighting the central tree. I may add some texture to the middle layer of islands as well.
I've also been working on the model pack for the large creature and have the roughs and poses for it sketched up. I still need 3/4 clean views but I should have those done in a reasonable amount of time.
