the anger

[enveuz]

i have started an art duel with another artist, "sub". Theme of the competition is "anger". I decided to take an unusual idea, non-character, "the anger of the nature", whatever.. Here what i got after 6 hours of painting

i don't like the result, don't see any anger in this.. i need to fix an atmosphere of the painting.. more dynamic... any suggestions will be very helpful...

I like what you have, especially how the storm is moving across the picture from left to right.
Are those rocks in the background on the right? Or are they towers of a city? It's hard for me to tell.
I love the way you painted them, especially the little bit of light that they are catching.
It seems like the storm is breaking them? That doesn't seem realistic to me, especially since the tree isn't broken as well.

I dont know much, so this is a guess. Maybe you can bring some of that very strongly saturated red from the bottom of the image into the meat of the image. Maybe decreasing the subtlety of the image may increase the anger too.

Maybe try adding some dust or swaying grass? Might give it a better feeling of storm. Perhaps have a branch breaking off the tree... or having a humanoid struggling against the wind in the foreground.

Ditch the buildings being broken by the wind, it doesn't look very realistic and the tiny highlights you gave them are lovely - no need to make them draw extra attention! Love the colors in this piece. Keep it up! :^^:

Anger is solely a human emotion. So in reality no other creature or thing can express this emotion and any perception of this in any other creature is our brains felling in gaps and resorting to previous memories to help us understand something quicker. So to make a human emotion evident in something that isn’t even alive sometimes you have to really hammer the point in.

I think you composition, texture and mood is nice and I like the red light that seems to be coming from below that to me suggests that something bad is happening apart from just a bad storm. I would say you could get a little more dynamic with the lighting and sky. As far as the buildings falling down I think the sky just doesn't look bad enough to make this happen. You really want that sky to look the heavens just opened up and took a dump on the earth.
