Awating the Golden Sun

tried to do show light & shadow work, with some stock editing too *points at the grasson isaac's feet*

oh and i didn't do the BG... i wish i had the skill to do it, though >.>

V2 with and without text up. fixed: shadow opacity, shadow size, text (hopefully), grass in front of focal... i gotta say i prefer without the text, TBH.

V3: gave up on the text, made the grass smaller, made the shadow more visible. most likely final version. suggestions/critiques still welcome, of course.

Looks bretty good but the shadow is in the wrong plase :D?

and maybe too big for the mesures of the backround..if u only move it more back the shadow is miles long lol:P

^now that you mention it, yeah, it's kinda long :P but it's supposed to be sunset, so i guess gigantic shadows (it looks about 10-15ft long to me) aren't exactly bad.

and why is the shadow in the wrong place?

and now that i look at it, i should've covered the shadow a little... which i didn't.

It's my fave by you, just fix the shadow, and the text is really a down point.Dudersaper

by fixing the shadows you mean transparency, hide it behind the grass (which i'll do anyway) or making smaller?

BTW both shadows are going to be more transparent on the fixed version (stupid me didn't think of the consequences of merging +overlay)

Wow Bruno, that's really beautiful. :D  I love the second version sans text it's wonderful.  Wouldn't change a thing. ;)

You know what would be a good idea. the text being his shadow.

Instead of making a shadow, put in the text like you did at an angle and blur it a bit, may look good.

@marriu-- i mean, jenkins - thanks :D i'll still change it a bit (maybe make the grass not as tall)

EDIT: V3 (most likely final) up

Lighting still doesn't make much sense. His shadow would suggest that the sun is in the right and to the front of Isaac, but the grass and various parts of Isaac suggest otherwise. Normally i wouldn't nitpick the lighting so much , but the lighting is extremely important in this piece . So i think i'm allowed to nitpick :PFlamesingh1

All the elements on this piece look like the lighting source is on OUR left side looking at it. I repeat: on the SIDE, not behind us :P

btw, this is your best work so far and you have combined the render with the stock very well. Keep it up ;)

EDIT: V2 textless is the best
