   ~The Love Story~
  28 hours from design to completion.  Tons of symbolism in that background.  Too tired to explain anything, so I'll re-post the detailed breakdown of the image later.oh yeah Tablet, Pen tool, and Ps7.-~-[edited by - Sage13 on February 14, 2004 5:44:33 AM]
  Here are the details about the piece:About-~- ;  Interesting image. I like it. But there are somethings that don''t seem quite right to me.When I look at the image, the first thing that jumps out at me is how flat the characters look. They lack depth, the figures look like painted cardboard cutouts. The clothes also look incomplete, like you were rushing when you made them. The next thing that bothers me, is the blurriness of the stain glass window. Some of the symbolism you were going for gets lost in the jpeg compression..... I can barely make out the clouds and water in the ego picture. Its just too blurry to see even in the closest one. The clock is also too small, obscuring the fact that the hands are the symbols for male and female. These last two are more of a "how I would of done it" critique. While the composition you have is good, I think it would be more interesting if you drew the characters standing directly in front of the stain glass. It would make their form stand out and they would be easier to see.And finally, the thing about symbolism, it works best in art, if you dont have to explain too much about it. There are many ways to make your art tell more of your story. Im not saying its an easy thing to do, but im sure you could have found a clearer way to portray your symbolism.All in all, it is a fine piece of work. You are talented, but need more refinement (Its what I lack too). I hope to see more work in the future.

I agree with your points.  I will take more time and put more thought into my next big composition.thanks-~-
