Pay The Ferryman

[Eggy]

On a rainy day and bored out of my mind I started with


and some small stuff to get



Please do comment...

I like the concept and the lighting is great!

There's something off about the stepping stones..............not sure yet. I think it would look better without the fog on the lower pant legs.

Looks great Eggy, I agree with Sam there's something about the fog around the pants, otherwise pretty cool

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Sam and Ged,
Well, I made the stepping stones very quickly in 3D but thats something I must change because actually I don't like it too.
You're right about the fog on the lower legs part. Its too much. I'll change that too, tomorrow...

Very nice job Eggy!
Looking forward to see the new version.

 

[Eggy]

Thanks Chris.
Depending on the weather maybe tomorrow. :cool2:

 

[Eggy]

OK, made a lot of changes but trying not to change the mood.
Reduced the canvas size, replaced the young guy by an 'old' dude, added a bell to signal the ferryman and some...



I could add a raven or so but less is sometimes more... :mrgreen:

Much better Eggy and the old man suits the atmosphere of the image

 

[Argos]

I agree i like this one a lot.

Great work!!

Cheers!

 

[IamSam]

I also agree!

Much better, awesome work Eggy!

ps: I'm worried for the old man. I wonder what he has done in his life to deserve a ride over the river Styx. For me, he's not an appropriate subject for an image like this. The younger guy rubbing his neck in a "questioning pose" seemed more fitting..........as if he were standing there regretting the consequences of his actions that had led him to this point.

 

[Eggy]

You don't know what he has done in his life to deserve a trip over the river Styx.
He could have stood there as a young lad but he may have been handy to dodge a lot and extend his worldly time!
Old isn't always synonym for good or kind...

:mrgreen:

 

[IamSam]

LOL!!! I agree!

 

[chrisdesign]

I like this one much better Eggy! For me the old man is the perfect choice.
What an improvement! The picture is now complete. It needs no more ravens.

Thanks Chris!
Time for the next one.
