    Hey again peeps,

    Part 2 of 4 of my 'Silent' art work. This time set in a Graveyard.

    http://www.monkah-design.com/env_slrd.html

    In order to keep the consistancy i have opted for a similar building in the background with the same windows and brickwork. I also roughly used the same colour toning as the last.

    Any crits and comments for next time are most welcome, also any ideas on some more 'areas' would be a great help. Im thinking a childres playground, next to a country pub.

    All the best,

    Dan

    They are both nice but they are also very similar, Id make something different non house-with-road like for the next one.

    Im not very impressed by the cloud like overlay patern though, looks kind of cheap and blurry. Sharper is nicer than blurry imo, could add things like noise to it, like its a grainy photo. Usually works quite well with old and decayed environments.

    this is true,

    The clouds are a little dull in places granted. There is grain in the piece, below the blurs though. I also wanted a very tight band of focus, this stems from my obsession with composition from my photography years. There is good reason for the blur, its technically more plasuable if your willing to see it that way. Again, Art is a very subjective topic and i appreciate your thoughts.

    Im thinking about working on the piece again in photoshop. It does look a little rushed.

    All the best,

    Dan

    Okay folks,

    Ive re-designed the piece. Hopefully it is an improvement. I think it is.

    Let me know what you think,

    Wow, this looks awesome! I love the atmosphere in there and how the roads "twist" their way forward. Really cool, keep it up!

    Its back up now.

    It seems ive met my monthly traffic limit in about 10 days. Ive bought some more bandwidth to last until the end of the month, but in turn ive had to lessen the quality and image size of the pics.

    Ive youd like to download the pieces for backgrounds, contact me at mrmonkah[at]hotmail.com
