I may do the painting for #2 also (but later) because I still think it would be a fun painting...but with the added metal that Craig mentioned!Scott Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09837800237796856385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-33382248439082709152011-12-03T10:03:20.170-05:002011-12-03T10:03:20.170-05:00HAhahaha Craig!!! I think 'where's the met...HAhahaha Craig!!! I think 'where's the metal' has been something Scott is struggling with. He wants to be more metal, but he doesn't want to punch people in the face with screaming crazy dudes. Especially since he has like... 10 paintings of dudes screaming, so he doesn't want people to think that's all he does. Hahahaha<br /><br />Anyway I like your suggestion about her sending the hawk off on a mission, I think that would add a lot of action to the image if this bird is beginning to fly and maybe it's wing is being cropped off the page, kinda filling that white sky space.<br /><br />Maybe to metal up the 5th one... instead of the guy warning about this dragon coming, he's going "YEAH BOYS LETS GET HIM WOOO!!!" and he has this maniacal bloodlust grin on his face... hahahaElisabeth Albahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11594760257037917951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-5169264967504089392011-12-03T09:01:26.601-05:002011-12-03T09:01:26.601-05:00Number one really has potential to be very iconic ...Number one really has potential to be very iconic but I think I'm with Owen. Sigurd is the mood packed image.<br /><br />But Scott, where's the metal!? Number 1 is kind of a stroll in the park and number 5 looks like a stubby dwarf. Number 2 is actually full of cool ideas, I think, but why isn't she casting the hawk off on some mission with a glint in his eye and his wings and talons spread while rain whips down from a lightning filled sky aND THOR RIDES BY IN A CELESTIAL CHARIOT WITH A HOST OF VALKYRIES!!!<br /><br />... it just seems like they could be a little more intense.<br /><br />By the way number 3 looks like a lighting nightmare but if you pulled it off, yeah!Craig Maherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942366845132843332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-80482115886721490152011-12-02T21:29:41.524-05:002011-12-02T21:29:41.524-05:00Ha, just realized I meant to say that I like 3 and...Ha, just realized I meant to say that I like 3 and 4 best, not 2 and 3.

The 3rd one would be my second favorite, it's a little more evil than I picture most vikings, but it's still a really awesome image. Sorry I disagree with your favorites, but I thing these two are much stronger than the others. They both have a true mood to them, some real pathos to both main characters. Especially the 4th one, I was almost named Sigurd, so I guess I'm a little partial to it.Owen William Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10133898289261394088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4630063725012586262.post-56437430934910404402011-12-02T17:38:14.990-05:002011-12-02T17:38:14.990-05:00Nice stuff Scott!

I think I like the opposite ones from what you like - 2 and 3 just seem to have that potentially iconic look that I could see the Spectrum judges going for. You've got five radically different ideas, and I'm sure you'd do a kick-ass job on any one of them, I'm just trying to think about which one might have that extra something special - I think I chose the ones that seem to have the most moodiness and emotion. Your first one has good potential for hitting that emotional key as well, so out of the ones that you like, I'd pick that one. The second one seems a bit done before, and the last one has a nice composition, but I don't think it's as strong as some of the others. At this point I don't have much in the way of criticism I guess - just pick one!R Solowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578895072074865656noreply@blogger.com
