Based on the roughs I built that background up digitally. I decied to increase the sence of depth I would add a gradient to the sky. This way it is not just one flat colour and it brings attention to the hills in the background. One problem that I can already see , how am I going to make clear the definition between water and land? The colours may need changing but I like the blue hue.
Moving on from this, I did alter the ground colour. It was clashing too much with the water colour and made it difficult to define. The fire was quick to create both digitally and analog. But it is making that now fit with the rest of the image. How is the light going to shine from it ? I added grass to the bank in the foreground of the image but I am not so sure about this. Looks to busy and I think it would be better if it was jsut plan colour.
Adding in the clouds was fun to do and it definetly helps to darkern the atmosphere of the image. A danger however about the image as a whole is that I could become over crowed and too much. The waves and clouds may need to be fade down more.
Adding the dog in was difficult. The idea I had for it was quite complex and this is where the anger of overcrowding came in. It was also hard to figure out how to incorpoate the clouds of smoke in with the animal. In additon adding the light to the smoke/dogs.
Using the dog shilloute as a basis to was much eaiser to then build the smoke around that digitally. It is quicker and easier to change and redraw it.
Using the head from a dog print that I did last year, I blocked in the shaed shape in soild colour and the built up the body from this.
