Cyberthrasher Report post Posted February 28, 2013 I looked at it when you first posted and I've been trying to find a way to say this. I like your work and it's good, but one common thing I see it almost every piece, especially this one, is that it all looks really busy because there's no variation in the depth. The illusion of space is critical and makes things appear that much more realistic to the viewer while also setting things within the design apart from each other. In this example, the roses are supposed to be 3D and overlap each other, but since it's all tooled at the same depth they lose their beauty and appear to be 2D. If you cut and tool the overlapping ones lighter when they're above another rose and deeper when they're above the "infinite space" of the background (because they are technically closer and have more space behind them), it will give a lot more depth and personality to the work. I really hope that none of this sounds mean. It's just something that I feel needs pointed out in order to take your work to the next level Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
