Generally I like the 1 most, I feel like it's the most balanced and it has a nice mystical atmosphere. But I also like the 4 because I feel like it tells a story and it's a little bit more mysterious. I imagine it with the shadow of someone about to enter, looming on the floor at the center of the composition. Depends on what story you want to tell in the end :smiley:

I prefer one. it has nice positive and negative shapes. and I like the contrast in tones.
4 is nice too for being more softer with the lights.

but 2 and 3. I like how you broke up the stair case. it's not a straight diagonal stair case.

I feel as well like 1 is more balanced, i just might go with it. But I'll take some time to decide exactly what i want of it.
Thank you so much for your insight!

1 seems to be popular choice here ahaha
Gonna take some time to flesh some ideas for it a bit more and then decide
Thank you for your insight!

Thank you for the insight! i feel like i'm leaning towards no3 as the time passes :smiley:
could be cool if i could somehow manage both atmospheres, but alas, that will have to come later ahah

little something of something in the work
i dont feel comfortable sharing the whole thing, but i kinda dig this part for now :smile:

name suggestions very much appreciated!! I am so bad at this TT_TT

Woah! It looks great! I loooove the mood.

Woman holding a skull next to the temple at night... :laughing:

More seriously, is there something that you wanted to convey with this piece or something in particular that inspired you? You could always use that as a starting point for the title.

ahah that sounds just about what i was going to put as a title
well i wanted the covey some mysterious sense of death, therefore death moth as a pattern, a gold melting skull and a hairstyle that roughly resembles the shape of the moth, and also the eyes that are like nightlight, luring ppl in

but it seems i picked a name already, another artist helped me in the mean time, it was so simple
''Curse of the Moth'' xD

It turned out pretty mysterious :smiley:
lovely choice of colours
my name suggestions will be "Death Teller" or "Keeper Of Eternal rest"

Hey your work is looking awesome, I really like your painting style with the loose brushstrokes. Have you ever thought about trying something different? Like a more cartoony style? Not that I don*t like what you are currently doing, but I would be interested of what that would look like in your hands!

And again, awesome stuff!

Oh gee, thank you for the kind words! Honestly, that sounds like a fun challenge. It might be interesting. What a lovely idea, will probably give it a try soon 😉🔜

here's to another sketch :cocktail:
