Here are some ideas for the final illustration. I would really appreciate feedback since im kinda bad in composition and illustration overall.

4th interesting composition but too much free space on top.

№5 looks more powerful

totally agree with you maxim but what do i do there to cover space?

maybe add some stairs beneath the throne so it would be higher? Also don't forget to add some design to the throne because it's too plain right now

Very Good.

Great work, I like both 1 and 4!

I wasnt satisfied with the latest composition sketches so I started this one. Im pretty happy with it right now but I have one more idea for another composition which Im gonna try before going into detail.

NicoK 2018-02-05 19:31:57 UTC #29

another try. Id like to create a scene where she touches someone creepyish on the face while hes willing to sacrifice himself for his goddess. Right now the perspective seems to be a bit to boring. What do you think?

Really creepy girl! I like your red colors and the atmosphere.

deivcalviz 2018-02-08 16:15:22 UTC #31

I don't think it's boring at all. The intimate composition is great for stuff like these. I am reminded by the art of BROM and I believe you can achieve something similar with this.

Keep it up!

This one is quite nice. I love the mood you create with dramatic values, and the design is really unique. I can't wait to see where it goes!

NicoK 2018-02-08 20:21:43 UTC #33

Just wanna thank all the people who gave me critic until now : ). Im still struggling with the composition... Heres another new attempt. The idea is that shes surrounded by here inferiors which are all painted black in the face to show their own irrelevance, bowing down to her. I also think I paint the metal parts of her design more iron like instead of gold.
What do you think? : )

NicoK 2018-02-08 20:24:57 UTC #34

@deivcalviz Brom is a legend! its such an honor to be compared tp someone like him. Thank you very much! Whats your favourite composition so far or what do you think I can improve?

@sanguine Thank youu : ) Im also excited to see the final result because Im not really sure where this goes either

deivcalviz 2018-02-09 15:23:34 UTC #35

I think this latest one is the best yet! The face area is really well lit. Spotlight/stage type of lighting is always great for a cinematic feel.

However, the lower part is blending too much with the background but I guess this is still a WIP so iI'm sure you will still improve on that.

Keep it up!

Thanks for your feedback : ) right now I dont care too much about doing everything technical right, I just focus on a nice composition. It doesnt look good at all in my opinion and I dont now how to get this done. Or am I just overthinking and expect too much in the composition phase? Please tell me

NicoK 2018-03-04 12:53:02 UTC #37

I should really use reference more often...what do you think?
