You're so kind. ;v; Yes, this was done entirely without lineart, I had two sketches one in white and a finer one in black on my grey background.
As for the order of attention, I believe that is a statement about the composition and it is somewhat intentional though I've not decided what order the eye should catch first.
I hope I do more like it soon too! X'D Thank you so much for your detailed perspective!
Hey, thank you for your nice words! Looking at it some time later, I personally feel some parts are a little too blurry and could help the depth and to magnify it he was in a slightly sharper focus. I still really appreciate your kind critique and honest opinion! <3
This struck me as very aesthetically pleasing and I think the message sent across is certainly achieved. Excellent job on the reflection, but there is too much smudge blur outlining the buildings in contrast to the nice detailed texture in the sky. Namely around that cloud to the left of the building.
On a closer look, I am able to distinguish the transposition of the calm, peaceful grass fields over the boats docked in the harbor. The grass nearly runs right into a boat on the right hand side, though the left gives an illusion that the grass field is elevated and obscuring the harbor. Because the right side does not share this effect, it clearly shows the image manipulation as the viewer looks at trees taller than the city buildings.
The wolf is a nice touch to your presentation, giving the surreal feel of a place where humans and nature live side by side. However, the scenery is the main subject and I feel the wolf only hinders this picture by giving insight to the flawed depth perspective. I thought it was a deer at first.
The typography is simple, setting the tone to the fantastical world. It says this and then takes a step back to let the viewer really look at the content it has proposed, an elegant and fine choice indeed. I really enjoyed analyzing this as a fellow Photoshop user and honestly feel the presentation is fully achieved.
I completely agree with nwootter's critique in that it needs more detailed contours for the hair, but I'd like to add that the lighting is really dark. Though that makes the image more pronounced, adding a little variation (like the tip of the ear? an ear sticks out from the side of the head, and can catch some light even around the face) to that shadow would help make it seem more lifelike I think.
Though it's beautiful and I adore the image, =lone-momo is 100% right. If it were aimed at DeviantArt, it would have been totally fine, but as an advertisement for a perfume, it could use a little more focus on the group.
