Artist's Comments

Guess what? After a 9-month hiatus for various I'm back to working on my Easter Island animation project. I want it to be done by 2010!

Here is some new background/concept art. One the things that I will adjust is the scale of the mise-en-scene, it all needs to be a lot bigger then before for the environmental message (the islanders are on the verge of war and starvation because the resources left are less then adequate for the population) to be slightly disturbing. In comparison; here is this scene's background in the old version: [link]

It will be an interesting process bringing new life in this project.

I'll keep you guys posted.

Drawn in ArtRage 2.5 in two evenings.

Critiques


:iconsammywhatammy:
You have a great balance of color, most notably between the warm foreground and the cool background, also the dark stripes and warm grays of the statues. I love seeing your brush strokes when viewed close up and seeing how the painting really pulls together when I pull back :) The look is very realistic and beautiful and creates a great atmosphere. The town in the distance is so awesome!
The only criticism I could come up with is to vary your textures - the entire painting has texture and it's wonderful, but the texture for the grass looks more or less the same as the texture for the statues, which is somewhat out of place. You don't need to go too heavy either way, but subtly differentiating the look and feel of two surfaces would add just a touch more to an already wonderful painting :)

Oo, you're right, this background gets the message across much better. I love the birds around the first statue's head, too!

I hope you manage to get it animated...

The lesson of Easter Island is one that the world needs to know.


I said this earlier, but please forgive me saying it again;


"Easter Island is not that large. With the trees gone one could easily see end to end in the right places, such as the high grounds that were deforested last. Therefore, the last person cutting the last tree no doubt could see that he was literally cutting down the last tree... But he still cut it anyways."

Very beautiful! The composition, feel and colours are awesome, I'm happy you started with it again. Will it be for yourself in the evenings or some job? ^_^ Either way it's good you want to finish it.

It's something for every waking I'm not working on paid work really. It'll probably be about as much work then making a few dozen Openminded pockets, so it's pretty daunting. But good fun.
