Flying Dream
This was supposed to be a digital comp painting for an acrylic piece I was working on for a charity auction. It didn't pass muster though. The idea comes from a dream I had. While it has the feel I wanted, it doesn't have enough story within the frame to warrant taking further.
I think good illustration is like a good story. An illustration that works should hold the viewer's attention and answer the classic who what where when why how questions. Right off the bat, there are problems with this comp. Who is this falling person? Are they falling or flying? Why are they glowing? Are they a man or woman? Girl? Boy? Human? When is this? Where is this? Too many unanswered questions and I find that it's purely an image with a "feeling" and not much else.

Static Notes
I really appreciate people's encouraging comments along the way. Thanks everyone! It's great to know someone is watching. Now, on to the next idea!

"Coordinates came in from a zoologist tracking polar sloths. He found one of his tagged sloths dead and tried to track the poacher. It took a while to find its way up to Central."
"Central wants to confirm visual."
"Check on visual confirmation. Touching down in five."
"Copy."
"Tell them the northern lights are really something. I'll send back a picture."
"That can wait Captain. Issue one is investigation of B team's whereabouts. Keep us posted."
"Will do."

"Still, you're stuck down here."
NOT FOR LONG. PREPARE TO BECOME ONE WITH THE MULTITUDE.
"Not so fast asshole. You might have got Jensen, but you won't get me. This charge grenade should see to that."
YOUR FEEBLENESS AMUSES ME CAPTAIN. THERE IS NO ESCAPE. YOU CANNOT KILL ME.
"It's not for you, it's for me."

CAPTAIN, YOUR FRIEND AND THE OTHERS HAVE GIVEN ME STRENGTH. THEIR ENERGIES FEED MY OWN. I WAS TETHERED DEEP IN THE EARTH FOR EONS, BUT WITH THE LAST SMALL ENERGY FROM YOU I SHALL PULL FREE. CONSIDER YOURSELF HONORED.
"So it was you who wiped all the crew down here out? And what, you 'absorbed their souls'? What did you do to Jensen?!"
