Description
This is an illustration for a story I'm working on. It's in prisma color. The original demensions are 14X17.The color didn't turn out so great in the scan. Blah! But you get the picture.
I might try playing around with this in photoshop. I am happy with the figures and the sky, but not so happy with the clouds. They are way to heavy, but once you start laying that much wax on the page it is difficult to get a 'whispy' look with prisma colors. Any suggestions? Any other prisma color artists out there?

Hey... I love Prismacolor (I honestly would've guess computer generated, though!)... and I love this! ...Hmm... I guess if you're not happy with the clouds, you could try experimenting on a seperate sheet, and see what pressing/covering those colors in a white Prismacolor pencil would do. We call this "glazing." It might make them have a "softer" feel.

Wow, you're amazing.
If you wanted something for a background change, I would probably go with blurry clouds... you know, somewhat more foggy and see-through. The clouds look like they're a bit lined up. But that's just me
The pose is awesome and the wings are neatly designed. I can't wait to see what connects to this from your story.

i completely agree about the clouds. working with prisma colors can be difficult at times, i just overworked them and laid too much color down. thanks so much for you comment!

Very nice. I am thinking there is something to the angels wings--how the feathers are in perfect order.

yeah, i agree. that's something i would play with if i were to do this in photoshop or to try it again. there isn't any sense of movement. no wind, no surge upward, you know?

No, no. Not at all--I was thinking something more along the lines of symbolically representing perfection. I am interested in the story now.

wow, i guess i completely misunderstood you!
the story is about an angel and demon who fall in love, then when the higher powers find out she is smited (smote?), and he takes her back up to the gates of heaven. just the gist of it anyway, i will be putting up more illustrations from the story soon.

Cool! I can't wait to see them.
I could have choosen better words. It's that communicating thing (typical guy)--ya know

ya, plus communitcating this way is had, simply because we don't have physical and vocal cues as to intention. btw, girls suck at communicating too, i think its part of human nature!
