If you were able to catch me at the bookfair at my fairly interesting talk about Digital Painting… then you’d have seen the artwork I was doing then.
This is how far it’s been developed.

So far developed that I’m deciding between variations…

With the tree or without? With the ship or not? Provide your comments on which I should pursue and why. Thanks!

without the tree and the ship, mas maganda.

I think it looks better without the tree. The rendering of the tree doesn’t look very consistent with the rendering of the other elements. I also think that it interupts the vastness of the sky.
Galeng! this looks very differnt from the one you started at world trade.

without tree and ship. Parang mas crisp ang details sa 1st pic. blurry on the 2nd. But i like the 2nd better. Without the tree and ship, it looks more desolate. I can imagine the girl is a castaway on an abandoned island looking in vain for other people everyday with the spyglass. Or maybe i’m being ma-drama. basta sa 2nd ako! Also, I wish i was able to digital paint that well!

With the tree but without the ship. My two cents.

Hi Joel!
I like the one without the tree. It’s has a smoother rendering that looks more natural (at least for me). No offense, but the first one looks like it was sharpened in Photoshop.
I’ve looked around your site and I think your colors are great
