 I sort of like it, I think it has something going on. You?

The story is about a painter and a haunted house. So... it's a weird sort of mostly complete painting of a house. What is failing to come across? Does it not look like a painting on an easel to you?

My eyes keep falling off of the page, unfortunately enough. Is there a reason that the horizon in the easel corresponds to the ambiguous grey space behind it?

Alexandrea Zenne My eyes keep falling off of the page, unfortunately enough. Is there a reason that the horizon in the easel corresponds to the ambiguous grey space behind it? I thought it looked neat?

I like the concept.
Personally, the fact the horizon level in the painting and the horizon level in the background are exactly the same throws me off a little bit. I'm not sure why. Did you try it at different levels?

The Goddess Keira I like the concept. Personally, the fact the horizon level in the painting and the horizon level in the background are exactly the same throws me off a little bit. I'm not sure why. Did you try it at different levels? No, actually... I sorta hit something I liked on the first shot. Maybe I'll mess with that and see if it looks clearer otherwise.

I actually like the horizon on the landscape and painting being the same. It's like you're pulling the house out of the background into this painted world. What would be even more creepy is if one environment was completely different from the other as if you're superimposing one world on the other... or a ghostly presence in the painted house.
Or if the easel was off to the side and you could see the house behind it... also "incomplete."
Sorry for tossing in ideas. You don't have to pay me any mind.

I would rather the colour change corresponded to what would be the ground around the house.
The easel looks great though, the fuzziness is perfect for that ghostly feel you are getting at and I like the transistion from sketch to painting that's on it.
I think maybe it's just because we can't see the top or bottom of the easel and that kind of ruins the feel of the space around it- it just looks like a wall of grey rather than a creepy expanse.

I see what you're saying there, maybe don't crop it so close so that you can see the easel standing on the grey area.

It might be something to try.

I think it ends up being too monotone I think, making the background cleaner and dropping the horizon would help to make it feel more like a painter's studio. Also I think the texture in the painting is a bit distracting.

Gardenhead I think it ends up being too monotone I do agree, but I have trouble developing for b&w with any amount of "pop".
