Description [*edit 8/12 - eventually this will be re - worked, lots to improve. Check the rampant derpitude on that panther, for one. ]

Symbolist examination of the private iconography of dreams.

Brushes used -

So many friends helped me navigate Photoshop to complete this. It's only fair that you choose which version goes in the Feature gallery, and which goes to Scraps. This version has an antique filter, which unifies the colors of the piece, and adds warmth. However, some detail and color is lost.

I can hardly make up my mind which one I like better but if you beat me long enough I'd probably go for the original

I adore the antique filter.

joeyv7 In reply to RosesAndThorns [2008-08-06 10:51:27 +0000 UTC]

me too - but here it definitely has a brassy/yellow cast . . . I do like how it unifies everything though.

lamaitza In reply to ??? [2008-08-05 09:25:14 +0000 UTC]

i think this one is better because of the softness that antique filter adds to it, so it's more dream-ish.

but both of them are beautiful, can't they both stay?

joeyv7 In reply to lamaitza [2008-08-06 10:52:36 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I'm not dumping anything - I like Scraps as much as Featured; my scraps has more activity than the main gallery

Ms-Sarah In reply to ??? [2008-08-05 07:06:36 +0000 UTC]

I think this one captures the dream state more beautifully, but I don't think either of them deserve to be in scraps!

hmmm - scraps for me isn't the trash, it's more active than the main gallery

JakobaHavinga In reply to ??? [2008-08-05 06:01:31 +0000 UTC]

I like this one more, I think. It all fits better together. Green is not disturbing red anymore, and red seems warmer. Though... perhaps the rest of this work becomes a bit too red now.

Ah well, this one I'll anyway

I think the colors in this one look richer. The gold makes the red stand out more.

I really like the colors in this one best! If you like, you can keep it this color, and re-put in a the details over it to match the colors. If that seems like overkill...than I still like this one best! Nice work!

joeyv7 In reply to viridianeye [2008-08-06 12:26:31 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! - actually some of the details lost don't even need to be there, as they were pretty shaky to begin with.

Yes, because I like the composition of this. But not for awhile - I got to hating this thing for awhile there.

I really like the idea of the colors molding together more but I agree here, that filter made it lose a bit of quality. but u don't have to use a filter like that: You can fool with it to your taste using the "adjust/hue saturation" I bet you could get more to the way you want it trying those on the original version.
