War - The meeting

[carlosranna]

Hello guys. I did this painting and wanted to share, but didn´t feel confident enough to put it on the Finaly finished section, hehe...

I don´t think i´ll work more on it, since it´s a traditional painting and changing major issues is a big problem, but who knows! Anyway, i would love to hear everithing you can say about it. Crits will be used to learn and take more care on the next painting.

Oh yeah! Sorry about the bad scan.

Well, that´s it... Tell me what you think! Cheers!

It reads a little awkward, its a war scene but there is an old lady walking through, its like a blooper. Is that a racoon wearing a dress? It really does look unfinished though, you got some of the white still showing up on some parts.

I'll go check out your other stuff now, later Carlos- keep at it like a chihuhua at a leg bro!

Hi JLAlfaro! Thanks for the comment man! Well... The racoon wearing a dress (Hehe, that´s a cool idea!) is in fact, a muslim kid...

I made this painting on a piece of wood, just a litle bigger than an A4 paper. Therefore i couldn´t detail the piece too much, so the kid was just suggested... I guess it wasn´t a very succesfull suggestion.

About the whites you mentioned, i guess there are none. Maybe the problem is that the piece wouldn´t fit my scanner, and that old machine never scan my collors the way i would like... I´ll try to take a photo of it and see if it gets better than this image...

Thanks!

Oops, sorry man but that does look like a racoon:dur: and the white stuff probly is from the scan, you should post some of your other stuff instead.
