For this project I primarily used Photoshop to draw in. I laid out the frame work for image by first sketching in Photoshop, refining the sketch, then adding basic color behind the line work. I then added added shadow(multiply), and high lights. I put dark silhouettes at the front of the image to create a feeling of depth. I also added texture by overlapping photographs on the picture.
I chose this particular imagery to illustrate the continuous standoffs between the monkey and his rivals. I added darts sticking out of his back to further emphasize the scene I was trying to relay. I also added houses in the background the show that the monkey lived near human beings.

GREAT details and beautiful color choices
ReplyDeleteI like how this piece leans towards a more realistic look. Nice attention to detail and depth of space.
ReplyDeleteAmazing details, and I love how you depict Vernon Yates
ReplyDeleteI really like the atmosphere you created with this piece; There's so much detail, especially in the leaves, and great use of color!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting in stylization, almost like watercolor or marker. Awesome foreground to background connection and well illustrated.
ReplyDeleteGreat detail work done on the leaves and trees.
ReplyDeleteVery good! My favorite in the class! I would recommend removing the moon since you didn't use it as a light source in the art.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, this is what I like to see lots of detail, and great effort put into the project, I am finding it hard to point out flaws. So I will point out one, I think it lacks movement, its too still, like there is no life in either character. The hunter seems only half hearted, and the monkey while seemingly happy, is more frozen in time.
ReplyDeleteI love your style! The atmosphere of the image is really nice and the colors are well used! The details on the grass is awesome!
ReplyDeleteAmazing!
ReplyDeleteExcellent concept and composition. Very well done.
ReplyDeleteI like the colors, but it seems almost too dark. The monkey and trapper stand out a lot, and almost appear to have spotlights on them, yet the leaves and grass are rather dark and almost flat.
ReplyDeleteVery well done, nice stylization, great detail work very nice piece.
ReplyDeleteThis is so well done, the details are great and the colors are awesome too. Its a very nice style and definitely gets the message across. Very nice!
ReplyDeleteReally really like this illustration it's complete and I love the use of th darkling colorization and the feel of totally filled the composition . Great image nicely done!
ReplyDeleteNice perspective you have on it and the colors and values are very very nice! Well done on the illustration! :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I like the setting and lighting.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice in color. I admire the backdrop as well because I would not have the patience to make that tree/forrest biome. You could never go wrong with fireflies!
