Artist's Comments

This one is not finished yet!

There are some things which I'd like to change, but I'm putting it up since I need a bit of help. ^^;
What I need help with would be the ship, though any other suggestions are welcomed. I was planning to leave it white, add only a bit of shadow in the edges... like a ghost ship made of light, or the moonlight's reflection on it would just be very bright and, well, white. But I asked for opinions and most people said it would look better with color though I can't decide on one.. so really, any suggestions are welcome. :D I will change the clouds as well. Too much blue for me... perhaps I'll add a bit of pink or violet to them. Or white.... Hm...

And no, I'm not putting this up to make up for my lack of activity here. ;)

hm.. i think ur ideal might work, but you could still add little dark parts into the ship, so that the ship stand out better, just leaving it white and adding a bit of yellow.. would be like.. to white ^^;
if it has a nice contrast then it'll look like glowing and ghostly
i donno this will help but i'll leave it to ur judgement =3

hmmm acho que se queres dar enfase ao barco fantasma, dependendo do contexto original que tinhas na tua imaginaçao, um pouco de cores escuras nao ficaria mal, e uns degradÊs, de forma a dar-lhe um ar assombrado. E poderias misturar varias tecnicas como aguarelas e pasteis de oleo ou secos a fim de conseguires o teu objectivo. Qualquer das formas adorei as cores. Nas nuvens o violeta nao ficaria nada mau nem o cor de rosa. ;)

Well, I would start by something you didn't mantioned (yay for me :D ...¬¬...) The rocks. Being night, you should paint them blueish instead of it's normal colors. Everything has to be blueish in fact. The ship too. the wood color is gonna be blueish, and it would have very deep shadows (darker blue), wich you could combine with the yellow reflection from the moon (those colors are nearly complementary, so they should work well toghether).
And that's that XD It's gonna be a nice pic when you finish it ^^

I see. Yes, the rocks should be blue-ish as pretty much everything else! Thank you, don't know why I hadn't realised something so simple before. xD
