RisingArmechadon Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) A funky piece of work that I had much fun creating. Composed of 3 images all taken by me. Thoughts and feedback much appreciated! Edited May 16, 2021 by RisingArmechadon William Overington, Archangel, Alfred and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyg9 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Love the idea. My only thoughts are concerning the arm. Either exaggerate it further (making it break the dimension) or blend it so it's part of the whole. Right now, the index finger is in shadow and the arm is lighter. I'd reverse that. Brighten the index finger and have the arm going into shadow. Just tweak the point where the index finger is going into the "void."

I didn't notice those issues until you pointed them out, I'll definitely do more with that arm, I kinda just stuck it on there. dannyg9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the idea, too, but my initial thought was that the ‘X’ was embossed. Had it not been for the topic title ‘Into the void...’ prompting me to look again, I might never have seen it as a hole through which the finger is reaching.

Was the name perhaps too dramatic? And I'd see why you'd mistake the x to be embossed, using transparent/grey on white and grey wasn't my smartest choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just one of those visual oddities where objects look convex or concave depending on what your brain decides about the position of the light source: instead of seeing the coloured part of the ‘X’ as being further away than everything else, I initially saw it as nearer.

William Overington Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Are you going to do a view from the other side? Maybe there is a puzzled-looking dragon looking at the tip of the finger.

dannyg9 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 In regards to the title, the first thing that hit me is the Black Sabbath song, "Into The Void." Very appropriate. RisingArmechadon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
