Description
My own submission to the Deviants Gallery group contest that has been going on throughout the week - www.deviantart.com/journal/Cha…
This one almost had a more generic side view of Heracles and the Hydra buuuut I thought that'd be a little uninteresting to look at. I also contemplated really hard about putting in the cave/swamp opening in the background to show a direct light source and I'm still kinda on the fence about it but it is what it is for now I guess.
If anyone see's any color anomalies or stray colors that seem out of place I'd appreciate a note about it since my PC monitor has a brighter screen than my working pad by default and it bugs the hell out of me when I look at one piece on both to see a block of a lighter black or brown than on the pads monitor.
As always, feedback and critique is highly appreciated. Thank you for viewing

The entrance of the cave steals the atenttion of what is really important, the sun and the sea are the first thing I see, then Heracles and the Hydra, which is problematic, seems like the cave entrance is there only to justify the light, it doesn't add anything to the feeling and it damages the composition. It feels like a lost possibility to play with the light source's placement, here are some examples of what I'm talking about.
Placing the light behind the character:
Vesuvius-Air and Darkness
-1
..
-1ff
Venat'itores
Fish traders
Minotauros
Highlights the character, it's a plus to the mystic/mythical feeling and it doesn't neet to be realistic to work.
Not showing the light source is also a possibility:
Radiation
Empathy - in progress
Back
Practice #12
marjane satrapi (persepolis) by vanian
It works by giving hints of its position outside the painting using shadows, expands the world inside the painting estimulating the viewer's imagination, very good for narrative purposes.
There are other ways to play with the light source but these are the only ones I can think of right now. Don't be afraid to experiment.
