Artist's Comments

I had a lot of fun with this one.

As usual, there's tons of postwork on this one. The flames and smoke are manipulated versions of stock photos from stock.xchng

I took this one in a slightly different direction than I originally intended, but I think it turned out well. Even so, I'm not quite ready to call this one done. I'm sure I'll be revisiting this one again later, but I want to work on some other pieces in the mean time.

I hope you all like it! Let me know what you think!

Thanks! Glad you like it! :dance:

As far as doing more with this, I'm not sure what it would be specifically, I just feel like I could maybe take it further.

I think the problem I'm having is that this really isn't the image that I originally set out to make. For example, the idea to have flames in the picture didn't come about until I was already into postwork. And while they look pretty good, they made it impossible for me to do the lighting as I had originally intended (much darker but more dramatic). Originally I was going to go with much less light. I wanted to show only selective parts of the characters with white light and then make everything else disappear into a black background. Basically it was just going to be a very dramatic use of contrast. This is obviously nothing like that, though the composition and scene itself would be the same. So when I do go back to this, I don't think I'll be updating this image, instead I'll be starting all over and doing a totally different version of the same scene.

I like the satisfaction of having a picture in my mind and then bringing it to life, and I just didn't get that after finishing this. But I will... :plotting:

I liked specially the scene movement and the diagonal composition. The models expressions and attitude are very real also.
Congrats.

Thanks! At first it was horizontal, and I thought it was too boring, so I spent some time with some different camera angles and this one seemed to work the best.

A very cinematic image. A dramatic work, one can really sense the power and motion going on here.
