Reviews for "The day no one died"
LaserKarl responds:
And beers!
wow
This is great but it kind of defeats the guy that snaps his fingers and says when I snap my finger a person dies,what type of beer is it?
LaserKarl responds:
Maybe hes just a average Joe who's veeeery good at his job.
Thats the kind of beer with a green can, his favourite!
dont fear the reaper
because he is chillin.
LaserKarl responds:
Don't mess with him though.
wow cool
this piece seems a bit different from your others, just because of the more real solid colors in the image. what really stands out to me is your emphasis on focus, and bringing the viewers eyes to the right and then to his face by detailing that area a bit more than the left side of the compostion.
good work again. i like the lighter texture area to the right on the wall as well
LaserKarl responds:
Thanks! Its nice to hear those tricks works out, haha.
Good job!
This goes to my favorites folder, although not the most original piece,
the expression on death's face is one of boredom rather than relief for taking a day off , but it fits the painting very well,so well in fact that one may think that she enjoys reaping souls, the smoke on the table is a priceless detail.
The sober selection of colors and some details like the plant in the right and the painting behind the couch are curious, may I ask what they mean?
The only thing that could have dropped you to 7 is that I find your other endeavors a tad more polished, maybe you did this one in a hurry? but the theme is so delicious that you earned the 8, I congratulate you for being so talented.
LaserKarl responds:
Thank you! :D
I didnt mean to make anything cliché, I actually never thought i did, I have at least never seen an image like this.. Sorry for not being original?
I actually made this image thinking not that he took the day off, but simply that no one died that day, so he got bored since he didnt have anything to do. Therefore the 'face' I guess. But i guess you could see it both ways. Not that I really tried to give him any destinct expression, its just a skull, I think the expression lies in his posture.
The colors and objects are just chosen to fit a composition giving the enivorment the right feeling, theres no other deeper "meaning" behind them. :)
I don't like the polished look really, i never quite understood it. I think great detailing was important the days before the camera. I personaly like images that are "loosely" painted over the detailed ones, it gives more for the viewers mind to work with i think. Also, working with less defined areas really makes the defined ones pop out!
Im thankful for the review!
