"The Worshiper" - updated version

[andreasrocha]

This one took me about 15 hours in Painter and Photoshop. The symmetrical composition is not really very interesting...
One small detail...the recurring theme of the devil in my paintings has got nothing to do with my beliefs. :)

Here is an updated version taking your observations into account. Thanks everyone.

Here is also a link to the previous version:

I like it...just 2 very very small suggestions.

1. The eye lid on the big eye..is acting more like a brow than an eye lid with the wrinke.

2. I dont like the bright green grass in the foreground. think the side facing the viewer should be either black or a blackich green..and the side facing the glow should have a yellow/orange tint on it.

I like the composition of the pic a lot though and like the color of the sky. Good job!

The eye should look more supernatural than a picture of a giant's left/right eye staring at the viewer. The eye should be looking at the worshipper, and the worshipper should probably be more visible. Make him look occult, or tribal, or middle-earth-like, or something - just a few ideas. Good job though.

I can't really say much about it but it looks great.

I think this piece has some potential. While some of the ideas are a little cliche they are strong ideas, and so you can get away with that. Also some of your painting technique with the background and foregorund are nicely excuted.

However, your perspective, especially with the building and particularly on the roof lines are just bad. Which bugs me all the more because there is so much other stuff in this painting that could be good.

In fact the stucture of the building as a whole is weird to me. As I said you have a nice rendering technique and the subject is interesting but you have built the foundation of your composition on this highly flawed peice of architecture, and then refocused our attention on it by sticking it smack in the middle of the painting so that we can't help but notice.

I'm not exactly sure if the building is intended to be a crypt or a shrine or small temple, but there are mountains of good referrence for this sort of thing available to you. I would go find some and then redo the piece in photoshop.

Like I said its potentially a strong dramtic piece. Redo it and blow us away.
