Kat, this certainly looks different from your usual work, so kudos to you! I can see how much effort went into these pieces cuz they're very unlike what you usually do, and it's clear you stretched yourself to the limits!
The colors in the bottom image of 3 are so soft and glowy. It has a very dreamy vibe to it, which contrasts nicely against the cleaner and sharper top image!
What is 14, and why? Why so good? I love how clean and well-balanced it is. There is the perfect amount of contrast, and the text is placed beautifully. The blurring of it adds to the mystery of the whole thing, along with the darkness of the right side obscuring part of the face.
Dying over 15! That looks like something Pam would make, and that's one hell of a good thing, IMO! Rose blends seamlessly into the background but without fading into it. The yellow is deliciously rich and vibrant, and the text? I wish I could do text like that. Excellent placement, font choice, and color combo!
I knew 18 had to be inspired by "story" cuz that's exactly what it does - tell a story. You feel all the pain and frustration just looking at it, and the composition of the smaller panels at the top over the closer cropped image is a fantastic choice!
YOU DID A MARVELOUS JOB STEPPING OUTTA YOUR COMFORT ZONE, KAT! VERY PROUD OF YOU! <3
Ohmygosh, wonderful comment is wonderful! Eee, you are far too lovely for taking the time to share your thoughts! I really appreciate it. ♥
I have been really inspired by some of the gorgeous, soft colouring and lighting around lj (raiindust and mm3butterfly mostly) and tried to adapt something to suit my own techniques the past few batches. I am so glad it kind of comes across!
14 started off colour but I felt like it got the atmosphere across more effectively b&w! I basically NEVER use text either so that was a new challenge in itself.
WHAT!? I don't know if that is more of a compliment to me or an insult to Pam hahaha! Seriously though, although I didn't have her work in mind when I made it, her icons are DEFINITELY a huge inspiration to me so if I have managed to capture even a touch of what she produces every single icon then that makes me really happy. :D
I am so pleased 18 got a sense of plot across! It is such an emotional scene.
Thank you SO MUCH once again. It was such a difficult challenge for me (and a lot of other people of course) but I am pleased I kept trying! ♥!
