Regarding the lighting, yes, I think you have a valid point. The lighting on the girl doesn't really seem to match that of her environment. As far as I remember, I think I kept the lighting pretty close to the reference photo, which had the primary light source somewhere off to the left, and a lot of diffuse light filling the shadows. Unfortunately, this doesn't particularly match with the lightingof the rest of the scene. I did toy, in a half-assed way, with the idea of making the pramary light source from the screens, but green uplighting would be horribly unflattering...
To be honest, I don't know if I'm going to revise this any further, but if I do, I defintely bear your and other's comments in mind.
Thanks again for the comment, always appreciated.
Woman is posed very awkwardly. Could be that image is tilted for more dynamic composition. Coffee cup and level of liquid also confuses me. Combine these three and I am no long sure which way is 'up' in the painting.
I see many large, potentially very bright light sources in one direction and no strong shadows on woman. Seems as if that many bright screens would produce some sort of contrast. If you plan to light everything like a flash bulb, insert indications of light source (flourescent bulbs, perhaps?) although it seems that bright green screens would be much more interesting.
Keep up the good work. Hope to see more revisions.
So she's kind of a sci-fi version of a truck driver. Hence the rather clunky look to the cockpit fittings.
You really challenged yourself on this one. Good. I would assume the focus would be the woman's face? Therefore, every element has to be directed towards her face - and I think a good attempt was made with the monitors, the chair, her posture. Items of interest on the right like the bad, mug and matches are what worries me. I don't know if they help the flow.
I think the biggest challenge for you now is getting the right contrast of colors. It's very difficult, I know, but having your painting awash with green isn't very pleasing.
Hmm... try looking at Jason Chan's art. Get some ideas there.
