Week 1 (Démie) (Second time!) (Updated)

Re-updated (19 avril 2018)

So, a more circular way for the boxer would... that?


As for the new images:



For this one, the first thing I saw was actually the directional lines/curves

For those ones, yeah, I saw two things at once:





More than once, I see more than one shape and it's hard for me to actually know for sure which one is "the best" or "the right one". Is there a tip for that!?

Donald's comments:
You are right for image #1, that triangle has a strong impact overall. Give me a totally different triangle for image #1 and try to see the bigger picture, go beyond the character's body parts. For image #2, try to see a totally different triangle, just pay attention to the position of the characters. 
Second attempt


For image #4 try to make it as triangle as well. 



For image #5 there is one missing element not included in your triangle. 

For the last image (boxing), try to see beyond the characters' heads to make the triangle. There is also an alternate way to see that last image by thinking movement (not defined by a triangle).

Hi,
I saw someone else has posted already and was commented by Donald already.
Didn't check the answers purposefully; I prefer making mistakes and learning from them  ;o)


The second on this one is not so obvious. The image is not so contrasted (in the overall) and there's many characters... Most of the time, I found that looking at the image in very-very small helped me to "see the triangle", except for this one...

The first one here, I see 2 triangles, both suggesting the imbalanced moment in a different way.
The second one was even more challenging, but here's what I found out:


Here, the boxer one challenged me again, but I saw first a triangle with the 3 faces, and then a second one with the position of their bodies. I'm not sure which one is "the right one" or the "strongest one", but here I place it in the way I saw them...

P.S. Very interesting video with John Cleese, thank you for this! :)

    Good work Démie. You are right for image #1, that triangle has a strong impact overall.

    That's good Démie. Try it again for the boxing scene: think circular, think spiral. Consider all characters in the frame.

Not sure I'll have much more time to push this before tomorrow's class (I have a parent thingy in the morning) so here's where I'm at now (still so much to do...), but I'm about satisfied with how it's going (I'm still missing some shadows that the Queen is casting on her griffin, some fur texture too, dragon is not finished, the King not even started (but he's going to be easy and kinda fast to do) (I'll probably lake some time to reach the deadline... I'm looking at my schedule and what's left... I might miss couple of hours, maybe a day... or two!?  Not panicking... not!

Trying new things. Here is where it was yesterday evening (dragon close to be done). A. I kept having the same comment about the background. At least half of the time, people saw the bushes at the line of horizon like clouds, sky nearly touching the castle.  So I gave it a try to change the time of day/night, to make it more obvious what's "sky" and what's "bushes and horizon line". Tried to improve the night atmospheric perspective at the same time (which is counter intuitive, cuz it's the opposite of day time). B. I was also told more than once that the distance between dragon (middle ground) and griffin (foreground) is really not obvious. Mostly because of the colors, so bright and sharp in the middle ground (as much, if not even more than foreground). There should be some sort of atmospheric perspective there too, but I'm not sure I to do this with this kind of scene. While talking with someone else, we thought I might ...

Hello everyone, just want to add something regarding Démie's question about your project. YES you have to stick with the main elements I want. But, for exemple, all themes can be exploited into something funny or in a lighter tone. Your style may be more suitable for comedy. About the Sea Beast theme, there is no indication that the beast is a menace. You could make it friendly and still have an epic adventure feel to the whole thing. Take your time to think about it till thursday. You can take 5-10 minutes during next class to draw your lineup. As I said, you still have a lot of freedom. Stick with me for the 8 weeks left and you can alter it anyway you like when this class is over. The goal here is to build a striking image. This is still Gothic Horror:
