You don't even KNOW hoe many times i went back an forth between keeping the focal point ON the character, when it kept jumping from his face, to his hand, to the green LCD screen. I was hoping if I silhouetted his form against the moonlight you could be drawn to his face first, but like you mentioned, having multiple colored light sources does make you jump around a bit.I knew people would have an issue between this being an alchemist or a mapmaker. Because the inspiration came from the creation of maps, I knew this piece had fall under cartography somehow. The biggest issue was figure out WHAT tools should be displayed to get that point across. At one point the maps themselves were fairly prominent. That blue window used to just be a map on the wall in some dark dungeon. But Limited my pallet even further. So i opened up the space and instead filled the desk with tools and objects that IMPLIED travel, ie: spyglass, compass, another map buried under the clutter, etc. So while i felt like I might have lost the focus of MAPS, I tried to bring about some feeling of travel and adventure instead.The symbol on the main book was actually a gold-leaf cross for nearly 75% of the production. Again, going back to the inspiration and using heaven/hell as destination points, I wanted the religious aspect to be fairly obvious. BUT! It was pointed out to me that, had I left the cross, the general message would have been lost on some overbearing catholic metaphor. So instead I just drew up some circles/lines and let the viewer decide what they represent. As for the hell portion (and this might be completely lost on some) but the bird skull in the jar is actually a raven which is frequently associated with dark omens/evil/etc. And if you look closely, there's actually a pentagram stamped in the leather band on the goggles headpiece.I'm still not sure what to do about those damn candles on the left!! Haha. At first they were lit, but that drew away from the candle he is holding, and then they were snuffed out but getting hit with some of the blue moonlight, and now i suppose they're burning, but the flame is below the wax line so it's being illuminated from the inside? Lol. I need to play with it some more.Thank you so much for the crit!! I absolutely appreciate your input
