Matt, I love this. From the smoke cloud down to the composition of the crows, from the nun to the car windsheild, from one zombie to the next and back to burning building you've cracked it. It's great!
Really? Thanks Kev (and Alex). This is one of those that is taking over my life, but not in a good way - it's becoming one of those I'm really obsessing over and was getting worried that I'd cocked it up. Your comments are most reassuring!
Oh I wouldn't fret - it is a very impressive piece. One thing that might be worth a try is a smidge of colour on the teddy bear - like a little glimmer of hope and/or a resonance with the flaming cloud at the top of the image. As Kev mentions the eye sweeps down the image and round back up again (for me following the crows down and to the right and then back up via the nun and the vehicles) so something subtle as you reach the nadir right at the bottom of the page might just catch the eye as it swings back up again.
Looks great!

Matt, I love this.

ReplyDeleteExcellent suggestion sir. I'll get on it.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good suggestion by Emperor. Puts me in mind of the girl in the red coat in Schindler's List. Great piece overall, Matt!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the encouragement fellas. S'all finished now, but I'll hold of posting it till the mag's out.
