Pushing it further before rendering
Hiya all! I am working on this piece now and then trying to get a good interesting dark, mysterious and warm feel of the painting, the deep dark pine-forests of Sweden. Basically the concept idea is a young prince seeking advice or something like that by a witch in a tarn, who also tries to lure him in. I am not happy with the colors and values, I feel it lacks some "oomph!" that is very much needed.
I would very much appreciate some advice on how to push it "further" before I start rendering it. It was very much inspired by the Swedish artist John Bauer.
Thanks guys.

Love the mood so far; I think you're really nailing the creepy fairy tale vibe. The expression in the characters' poses is also very nice. I get the feeling it's a haughty prince scorning a creature that is more dangerous than it appears in its present condition, a mistake he will soon discover in misery.
The composition feels a tad awkward to me, like the whole thing was accidentally pushed an inch to the right. The main character is almost dead center in the piece while the water being is squished into the corner, and the whole left and top of the image is almost completely empty. It may seem a bit 'safe' but I would personally move everything up and to the left a little to center the space between the characters.
For the values, boost the contrast and emphasize the warm reflected light bouncing up from the soft forest floor.
My only crit on the figures is that your prince is very feminine; I had to read your text twice to make sure you really intended that character to be male. The face has a beautiful heart shape, and the fluffy golden hair and skirt-length tunic aren't helping.

That's a very nice drawing, really like the prince.
I think you miss some light sense, it's currently hard to understand the yellow on the floor as sunlight, try to make it brighter. The light on the foreground doesn't work as light, it miss something to understand it (casted shadows are off the place). As well for the little prince he doesn't looks like lighted. The forest in the background is very dark, I understand it's intentionnal to push the forward scene more, but it's maybe a little "too much".
Here I tried to find some forest in the same condition, hope that can help you

Great start, and I really like dierat's composition suggestions. But the prince, although a lovely piece of drawing, looks in no way like a male character, even a young one, even an effete one. And it's not just the hair.

Wow thanks guys for the replies!
dierat - I really like what you did to it, and I can see how much moving it a lil bit up and to the left does for the composition. Remarkable that a change that small can have such an impact. And thanks for the crit on the values, I love what you did there, very close to how I envision the scene in my mind. And yepp I agree with you on the male character, needs a more manly jaw haha. Great thanks!
Griffonnage - Ah yes you too are very right about the lighting and the casted shadows. Your examples show the kind of things I should have thought about. And great selection of images, saving them all! Thank you for the help!
atomander - Hehe thank you very much my friend. Makes me glad you like it!
Elwell - Thank you Elwell! I too like what dierat told me to do and I shall do it, made me very happy I posted here for some critique before I continued on it. I agree on the prince, not enough male in the facial structure and I shall change it.
I can show the types of faces that inspired me, it is no type any defense or so because I do agree with you and will make it more manly looking (I am thinking the jaw and chin mainly can fix it). Here's some drawings by John Bauer.

I know, everyone already told you about the prince looking like a girl, so I won't say a thing about it.
I saw both of the pictures dierat posted, and with the contrast and the brightness of the colors, the prince is in the middle of the picture, like taking all the attention.
When I see the picture the first thing I see it's his hair, his face, and then him, but I fail to notice the witch in the water. People tend to read from left to right, up to down (except japanese, they read from right to left, but that's not the point).
The human eye will start at the top-left of the drawing, then the first look will go totally diagonal to bottom-right, BUT, it'll stops if something caughts its attention (the prince in this case, or more, his hair) more than everything, and surelly won't continue.
As my teacher told me, human eye is lazy, very, very lazy (and so it's the mind), so you have to give everything easy to both of them, or they'll fail to notice everything else. In this case, the witch won't be seen until later, sometimes won't be noticed.
But, in the composition that dierat made as a sugestion, the witch is glowing like the prince. She has a very important part of the light of the composition too, like him. The human eye will notice there's something more and will go to see what is it.
I hope this helps you.
I don't have time to read "How beautiful are your drawings!" garbage.

Nothing much further to add to what's already been critted, but wanted to say I think this is gorgeous! My one piece of feedback would be that the angle you have the scabbard at currently would be very hard to grip with the opposite hand - the scabbard would have to extend behind the figure rather than across it, but i understand that it's fairly important compositionally.

Maybe just go for a girl since it's not a specific story you're portraying? Because I personally think she's beautiful as is. I love the face, the hair, the pose, everything.

Sorry guys, late reply, working on graduation project for my biology education.
Velocity Kendall - You are very right about... constricting hehe. Adding a subtle ripple is a great idea. Thank you!
Zilkenian - You are right about readability, makes me realize I got to bring forth the witch and the prince more. I am thinking I could make her skin much more white, like it havent seen sunlight in years or ages, a bit like Gollums skin. Thanks!
Zephyri - Hah! Just tried having my hand in the same pose, does not work well hehe. So instead I'll place the hand on the pommel. Thanks a lot!
dierat - Hehe thanks, but I do feel I want it to be a male, I just got to eventually fix it. Thanks again!
kingkostas - Sorry for the late reply on your amazing amount of crit and help kostas! You left me speechless! You are very much right about what you speak of, and I will use this immensely when I fix my piece, so many good tips and ideas. Makes me realize a lot of things one should think of as an artist and that things should come in a certain order, completely new to me! Thank you so much!
This reply might not seem as much justice towards the amount you gave me, but be sure to know I am taking it all seriously, friend!

text: For a long time, the stories to be found within games were perfunctory offerings, if not entirely negligible in terms of the experience. We were saving princesses and girlfriends, defeating monsters and generally acting out the role of fantasy heroes on the occasions that context was given for our actions. Over time, these narratives have become more complex through the inclusion of subplots and a stronger focus on characterisation but changes have been slow to come to the overarching story formulas of those early days. Back then it was understandable, video games were games, aimed at a younger audience while the technology was simply not powerful enough to really explore the questions of sociology or human nature. That isn't the case so much any more.

Tyrann Mathieu is quietly resurrecting his reputation and moving up draft boards. Even though he's getting anywhere from a 3rd to 5th round grade, don't be shocked if a team reaches for the talented defensive back. USA Today is reporting that Mathieu who had a significant drug problem at LSU, told one NFL assistant coach that "he didn't know how many drug test he failed, he quit counting." During one visit, Mathieu was asked how many drug tests he failed before he was suspended in college. According to an assistant coach for the team, Mathieu responded: "I quit counting at 10. I really don't know." The coach, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to comment about the evaluation, doesn't dump all of the blame on Mathieu. He points a finger at LSU. "If he flunked 10 tests before they suspended him, it shows that he got no kind of help," the coach said. Mathieu for his small size and stature is a supremely talented player. He will come with a risk, and will need to be drafted by an organization that is strong from top to bottom. If his account of 10 or more failed test is true, Les Miles and LSU should be ashamed of themselves.

Refund for Withdrawal
Once the semester begins, students who wish to drop ALL course work for which they are registered must
withdraw from the university. Do not use MyPACK Portal unless you are a non-degree studies (NDS) student.
(See Withdrawal from the University)
After the close of the official drop period (Census: typically the 10th day of a Fall or Spring semester and 4th day of a Summer session) a withdrawal may only be granted for exceptional circumstances such as documented medical or hardship situations.
Undergraduate and graduate degree students should contact the Counseling Center to initiate an official withdrawal. Dean's approval and even parental approval in certain cases may be required. Non-degree studies (NDS) students should initiate a withdrawal through the MyPack Portal (Student Self Service > Enrollment > Term Withdrawal). Students who fail to properly withdraw may be held liable for the charges on their account including tuition, fees, housing, and/or dining.
Financial Aid Recipients should talk to a Financial Aid Counselor before withdrawing. Students receiving funds awarded by the Office of Scholarships & Financial Aid should be aware of policies regarding withdrawal from the University.
The Federal Higher Education Act requires the University to calculate a Return of Federal Student Aid Funds for students who withdraw (officially or unofficially) from all classes on or before the 60 percent attendance point in the semester. Using a pro-rata schedule, the percentage of the semester attended is used to calculate the amount of the student's earned versus unearned Federal student aid funds. The unearned portion of Federal student aid funds will be returned to the appropriate aid program(s). Students withdrawing from classes are responsible for payment of any balance due after the required return of Federal student aid funds.
Tuition and fee refunds for Official Withdrawals are prorated based on the schedule below and no refunds are made for official withdrawals after 50% of the enrollment period. Students who completely withdraw from the University by these dates are due a refund/reduction as follows:
*An administrative fee of 5% of the total tuition and fee, and late registration fee charges not to exceed $100 will be charged for all withdrawals processed. This fee will post to your account after the processing of your withdrawal.

Desert Rose Inn & Suites
Amer & Cindy Tumeh's first dip into the hospitality industry started when they purchased the Historic Jens Nielson home and renovated it into a 5 bedroom Guest House. They loved the people and the process so much they decided they needed to expand. However, not wanting to destroy the historic integrity of the Jens Nielson home they decided to build outside the historic district. Landing them on the west end of Bluff they started with 5 Executive Cabins and an office cabin in 1997....
Our Client Testimonials
Exciting..... Desert Rose Inn & Cabins got a mention in the LA times travel section.
sacredphi "Very good choice outside of Monument Valley" We had a nice, comfortable room and bed for our short one night stay after visiting Monument Valley, before heading to Moab. We didn't experience any other amenities or the restaurant, but we were pleased with the experience overall. We stayed in a room upstairs and had to carry luggage upstairs, but it was not a big deal.
We checked in late, but called ahead of time to let them know, and were able to make it before reception left for the night. Be sure to call if you are checking in late.
Graham J "A true oasis" Do not think twice about staying here if in the area. We were in the newest section but even if you are in another part you must go into it. The entrance lobby with the very high ceiling is like a lounge out of a 5 star hotel. Then there is the swimming pool and jacuzzi. We stayed around there in the mornings and drove down to Monument Valley for the evening tour (recommend picking it up at Gouldings Hotel near MV). Utah licensing laws are a bit strange throughout the state unless eating but that is easy to live with.
The manager Amer is very involved in all aspects of the hotel, (as I clearly witnessed!) He was extremely helpful to me in helping me deal with a personal and importantly financial matter that arose unexpectedly whilst staying there, so a big thank you Amer.
Located at the west entrance to historic Bluff, Utah, the Desert Rose Inn architecture is an all wood style building with massive timbers which excite the senses with their intimate charm.

Faith-based News
This alternative universe has not grown up over night. It has been growing for more than thirty years. It is one of the biggest reasons why so many evangelical Christians have no grasp of reality on matters related to church/state issues, WMD's, and other political issues. FOX news directly competes for the attention of these viewers and the rest of the mainstream media have followed suit. That is one of the reasons why newscasting has slanted so far to the right.
Fortunately, the internet provides a lot of unfiltered and uncensored information. If you know where to look, it is possible to learn a lot more about what is happening in the real world than ever before. Most evangelicals, however, are blind to these sources. Even when they see them on the internet, the information doesn't fit their frame of reference and they refuse to accept its veracity. As Lakoff says, "Frames trump facts."
Some day, I trust, the faith-based scales will fall from their eyes and facts will begin to inform frames.

Great post! I like to come here for my religious news. I am still reading, just not commenting too much.

Unfortunately the scales did not fall off the eyes of the German population until the they were forced at gun point to walk through the death camps. Not even years of the stench of baked human flesh could get them to fall off.
- Eric Lee said...
I just finished reading that piece from CJR yesterday, actually. Great piece. It would probably work well next to David Brock's The Republican Noise Machine, because much of the power structures are the same.
I think the phrase "cognitive dissonance" would fit well to describe your last point there.
- TammyJo58 said...
It is truly sad that Christians, or anyone else for that matter, do not have the ability to listen to a news report or read an article in a newspaper or magazine and be able to make a judgement about whether it sounds credible or not. If Christians need "special news" then I submit that they have been "unplugged" from the "power source" that enables them to discern truth from fiction - the Holy Spirit. I shouldn't be suprised by this, but I am. One of the basic beliefs that Baptist have held in the past is the "priesthood of the believer." It seems as though some of our convention leaders have decided that this is very inconvenient. You don't have to look any further for evidence of this than the 2000 Baptist Faith and Message, where they might as well have said, "Don't let the Holy Spirit be your guide - just ask us." Praise God there were those out there who saw the new BFM for what it is.
Too many Christians rely on "man" for their guidance, and not on the Word, the Spirit, and prayer. It begs the question, "Are they relying on this same "man" for their salvation. I submit that no "man" or institution can be a substitute for the one true God.
God Bless,

The church had originally been in Orange County, Virginia, but its members had moved en masse to Kentucky, stopping twice along the way before settling permanently in Clark County. The group was called the Bush Colony, for William (Capt. Billy) Bush, who had come to Kentucky with Daniel Boone, obtained land and had sold it to his relatives and friends in the group

WILLIAM BUSH, familiarly known in his day as "Captain Billy Bush," is perhaps the best known member of the Bush family which came from Virginia to Kentucky and founded the Bush Settlement on Lower Howard's Creek. He was a captain and commanded a company of militia in Col. Patterson's Regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was one of the parties who first settled Boonesborough in 1775 and was the first man who ever took up land in what is now Clark County. He is buried in a small family graveyard on the Dykes farm on the Boonesborough Pike in Clark County, Kentucky. The inscription on his tombstone reads: "William Bush, Born June 26, 1746; died July 26, 1815. He was the friend of Daniel Boone and others in the settlement of Kentucky."
Little is known of the early life of William Bush. He is first mentioned in his father's will, dated 10 May 1771, in which he is said to have been "absent for some time past and not heard of." The next notation of him is as one of the men who helped Daniel Boone to make the "trace" from the old settlements to the site of Boonesborough. The northern boundary of Henderson's purchase was the Kentucky; Virginia claimed all the land north of the river, as well as Transylvania. Perhaps many of those who came into Kentucky with the Transylvania Company had little faith in it. William Bush must have foreseen the trouble ahead, for he crossed the river and took up land under Virginia's law.
In 1779 he appeared before a Court of Virginia Commissioners and proved his claim to all the land between Two Mile Creek and Lower Howard's Creek, by reason of improvement and raising crops of corn on the same in 1775 and 1776. This claim extended about as far north as the land now owned by the Winchester Water Works Company and was considered then - as it is now - the fairest portion of the land in the county. On his claim William Bush built the first preemptor's cabin north of the Kentucky River, and on part of it was built the first brick house west of the Allegheny Mountains. William Bush also owned about three thousand acres of land across the river in Lincoln County. In the early years, before his family removed to Kentucky, he lived in Lincoln County, generally in the fort at Boonesborough.
He was there on that memorable day in 1776, when the Indians captured the two daughters of Richard Calloway with Jemima Boone, and he joined the rescue party led by Daniel Boone. William was a member of the first grand jury of Lincoln and was also a magistrate. William Bush (known as Captain Billy Bush) was the youngest of Philip's children. (He was not actually a Captain in a Military sense, but was given the title of Captain by those who knew him, and addressed him as a leader.) He (Billy) seemed to be always on an adventure. The first to be documented was being a part of the group of frontiersmen that Daniel Boone gathered to blaze the trail from Cumberland Gap Virginia, (now known as Kentucky). This occurred on March 10th, 1775, "Daniel Boone, left Long Island with a party of thirty riflemen to seek out and mark the proposed Trace. To complete this task he had recruited about 20 of the most experienced and capable frontiersmen to be found on the western border. They included such men as Square Boone, Michael Stoner, and William (Billy) Bush, Benjamin Cutberth and many others destined to become famous in the settlement of Kentucky.
After William Bush had returned from Kentucky, he painted such a grand picture of the rich lands, that he had persuaded forty families of Orange and Culpepper counties to form a colony. In the summer of 1780 they started for Kentucky. Several of which was William Bush's family, namely his brothers Josiah, Philip Jr., Ambrose, Francis, and sister Mary, all children of Philip and Mary (Bryan) Bush. Many of the colonies were Baptists, and they organized themselves into a church body and started for Boonesborough, near which they intended to settle. They reached the frontier fort at the Holston River in December 1780. Here they were met by a runner from Captain Billy Bush, who had preceded them. And was then in the fort at Boonesborough, advising them to remain at Holston for the time being as the Indians were giving so much trouble in Kentucky at that time that is was not wise for them to proceed further.
They remained at Holston for three years, during which time many other families coming to Kentucky joined them. Among those that joined was Reverend Robert Elkin, a Baptist preacher and they chose him as their pastor. He remained their pastor for forty-two years. During their stay at Holston, one brother Josiah Bush died, in 1781, his wife Sarah elected to go on to Kentucky with her children. Philip Bush was administrator of Josiah's will. Appraisement of the Estate of Josiah Bush, among the items listed were; a pair of shoemakers pinchers, Bible, old hymn book, and old sword, old Testament and some old books, pipe and tobacco box, Negro man John, Negro man Solomon.
On September 1, 1783, the colony again started on their journey. The long line of travelers, some riding on horseback, some walking with their fateful slaves, their bedding and baggage on pack horses, moved cautiously along the narrow Wilderness Road. Over mountains, across valleys, ever on the alert for Indians or other foes that so thickly abounded along their way. Bears, buffalo, wolves, elk and sometimes herds of deer were often seen. They were compelled to encamp for days at a time to rest and forage. Every Sunday they encamped for the purpose of engaging in worship. When these stops were made, pickets were put out both day and night to watch most vigilantly. The distance that now can be traveled in a few days, over the Boone Highway, was then a journey of many weeks. The colony reached Craigs station, near what is now Lancaster, Lincoln County, where they again tarried until the fall of 1784. Here they separated, part of them going to Barrens in the southwestern part of Kentucky. The majority of them however moved to the north side of the Kentucky River and occupied the lands located for them by William Bush. The men were farmers and traders. They were all celebrated Indian fighters. Several of them served in the Revolutionary War.
William's father was Philip Bush who married Mary Bryan. Philip was willed by his father, five shillings sterling. Balance of his father's estate was divided between his half brother Thomas and Daniel. Philip was given land by his father after his mother's death. In 1745 William Bryan of St. Thomas Parish, Orange o. sold to Philip Bush in consideration of five shillings and the rent of one ear of Indian corn yearly at the Feast of St. Michael, The Archangel when lawfully demanded. It goes on to state the amount of land - was witnessed by Zachary Taylor, the great grandfather of the President of that time and the other witness was James Madison who became President in 1808.

Pericardial drainage can be a risky procedure,
though few serious or life-threatening complications occur when it is performed
by an experienced doctor. It is possible for the needle to puncture your heart
or one of your blood vessels. In rare cases, the needle may also puncture
your lung, your liver, or your stomach. These complications may require surgery
to repair.
If the needle touches your heart, you may have an
irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), but the irregularity usually stops when the
needle is removed. In rare cases, this type of arrhythmia can cause death.
There is also a slight chance of spreading infection from the skin to the
pericardial space when the needle is inserted.
