Artist's Comments

Much like the re-make of the Mer-people image I just submitted, I reworked this from an older piece from 2007:

Shall We Count His Rings? by *yveline on deviantART

I would probably attack it entirely differently if I were to start from scratch, but again, I got so much useful critique on this that I had to go back and re-work it. For starters, I added almost 2 inches to the top, made the trees LEAFY, enhanced the background with a little atmospheric perspective, and woke up the woodsman, who was originally unconscious. The eye contact and slightly more active hand gestures, I think, add more life to the piece.

I loved the first one, but this is definitely another huge improvement! All the details you added into the forest give the scene a more realistic feel. Expanding the canvas vertically was also a huge plus - I hadn't realized it before, but the top of the composition felt a bit cramped. The man's clawing hands, showing that he's still alive, are powerful. :)

One thing I'm seeing on both my monitors is that he looks quite pink-purple - perhaps a bit too much, considering his circumstances? Maybe adding more yellow and olive tones to his skin would help him jive with the rest of the scene a bit better.

That's absolutely gorgeous! The atmosphere is definitely quite a bit more dramatic and I just love the figures. The entire piece is spectacular!

I like the dynamic composition. Good job!

I like the changes you did to her dress making her look a little more feral. And I see you adjusted the tones and contrast giving it less of a dreamy look. I like that. Pops more.
