bodobe Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Need your help;-) which version is more sinister, more scary? It should be a book cover (Thriller). Thank you for your opinions, comments … :ph34r: (the subtle differences can be found in the face) queencatherin 1 Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The first one does it for me. It's all in those wonderful eyes that you draw: in the second version, the extra red areas on the face distract attention from the eyes, and in the third one the eyes can't be seen clearly. bodobe and queencatherin 2 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-F-H Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 The first one for me too. I agree with Alfred regarding the red and the blurry eyes. Nice Job bodobe and queencatherin 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 I vote for the third. I like the filters added on the first and third. The second is most detailed but it is too saturated compared to the other two and since you are trying to portray a horror theme. (The colors are always toned dark in horror movies, and not fully being able to make out the face or minor details can make the picture look more scary.) In the second and third, it looks like you have a shadow of a man on the face's forehead which can't be seen as well on the first. I imagine it is supposed to be noticed. Also, the dark eyes on the third actually works for me. Since this is horror, the rules of photography may bend a little. It's all about the scare. bodobe 1 Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

JokeRat Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 I vote for the third too. It's more sinister to me as it's not as clearly visible (as bleduc already mentioned) and that creates tension. It might be different if they eyes would be less human (monster eye, or something like that), then i might go with the first one too. But that might miss the whole theme/topic of the book of course. bodobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MattP Posted September 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2016 I prefer the first one - the eyes are brilliant! Maybe the third one would've been my favourite if the eyes were more like the first one?... :/ bodobe 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 28, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 28, 2016 I agree with the others, I think the first and third are the best for the same reasons already mentioned. I find the lighter "spots" above his head a little distracting (specially on the second and third). Maybe this could be toned down a little more as in the first... bodobe and queencatherin 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madame Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 No. 3 is the sinister one, in my opinion. I think that that you don't get eye contact is threatening. No hope of getting any sympathy and that is scary. As simple as that. bodobe 1 Quote - Affinity Photo 2.3.0 - Affinity Designer 2.3.0 -Affinity Publisher 2.3.0 MacBook Pro 16 GB MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 3 does it for me, as the eyes are full of sorrow and the colours are balanced and fits the mood. bodobe 1 Quote MacBook pro, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB, OS X 10.11.6 http://www.pinterest.com/peter2111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodobe Posted September 29, 2016 Author Share Posted September 29, 2016 Thank you all! :) The third is now my favorite. No light in the eye, no kindness. I think that's it. Quote Illustration & Grafik bodobe.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
