Description Take Two of this contest entry for   I was not happy with the back and fore ground I had before and I wanted to do justice the wonderful book she is writing "Lockheart's Strings" athena-money.deviantart.com/ga…
I am finally happy with the background.  I had to step outside my comfort zone and I am so glad I did!  Everything you see here is mine including the floor!  That was fun!  Update:  Yay this won 1st place!
Check out this contest and make sure you read the stories so far!

Woah...the woman on the left looks gorgeous, though, a little upset given how the corset is seemingly causing her pain! I'm happy to see you put effort into the floor (something which many artists just tend to ignore).

This is how I feel when visiting my nieces.
Great job! I'm still willing to enter, but I don't think anything can top yours.

My age. But it was a while ago. I refuse to wear make-up (except for the occasional nail polish), so I had multiple people trying to show how good I look with mascara and such. My nieces and I liked to dress up, so that's what it reminds me of.

And here I wonder why she steppin' on that girl's back :l
Not cool.
But the art definitely is cool
I wonder what kind of event she's preparing for?

Jenny42 In reply to PictureOnProgress [2014-09-28 01:41:26 +0000 UTC]

She is tightening the corset and using her foot as leverage, which she does not  have to do, she is doing it to get the corset extra tight to be mean.  It is not a good situation for the girl to be in.  You should read the stories, they aren't very long yet, but they are really good and will fill you in on the details of this scene, You will like it if you like fantasy books.

The colours of the backround are matching the characters nicely. Its a nice addition and no distraction. What I mean....I like the soft look of the backround. You use little hard contour there, so the viewer can concentrate on the main characters. But I think you know that ^^.

Your picture is now a perfect scene . It was a good choise to change it like that .

Jenny42 In reply to Cibana [2014-09-26 16:11:32 +0000 UTC]

Thank you so much!  Yes, I actually went back in a took a blender over the background to soften it up a bit more when I was done, I thought it was still too hard.  It is so nice when someone knows why you do what you do!    I still need to skew the flooring a bit so the perspective will be right, but my program is giving me fits, I may have to go get Photoshop because Elements just does not cut it.

CameronKobe [2014-09-26 00:21:11 +0000 UTC]

I think this is an improvement on the original--I like that you can see their feet in this one, particularly--and the background is a better fit with the overall tone and composition.

Since you asked for Critique, I'd like to suggest something that I think would be quick to do and give the image a big boost   Basically, I have a slight issue with the floor.  I do like the pattern; it's really pretty.   But the perspective looks somehow off, and parts of the floor even look like they are soft (for instance, around the area of the feet).  Maybe you could try something like this to align the pattern more along where the perspective lines should be (rather than just laying a flat pattern, as you've done at present).  Does that make sense?

OMG  that is so simple!  I was trying to figure out how to do this very thing and that never occured to me!!  I should have asked you in the first place!  I know exactly what to do!  I am on my way to fix it!!  Thank you!!!
