SciFi and Fantasy Art: A bad idea gone worse

This is such a great picture! The composition is great, and the comical theme is fantastic. I'm going to be chuckling to myself about this one for a few days...

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "Glad you found it amusing, this is what happens when I get bored. Unfortunatly for the rest of the world I happen to be bored alot "

Haha- i like the moon thing over in the right corner!

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "I believe I've made the comment before that the moon was a prepackaged graphic that appeared when I used the moonlight filter... I was too lazy to erase it."

You need to write a childrens book and put stuff like this in it! I like the color. I really like the goblin falling off. None of the other goblins seem too concearned. I love how we in the fantasy community treat goblins like they're disposable.Cool.

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "Well that's what's great, there are so many goblins and they're pretty much useless so they are disposible. I love my goblins... Anyway thank you for your faith that I could do a good job illustrating children's books, that's really nice of you. But lets put it this way... my own mother just said that if I were to write children's books she wouldn't use them It's highly probable that children would find my stories and works rather disturbing. (don't take this the wrong way, my mother and I get along just fine and she's very encouraging of my artistic efforts, but it's just that probably wouldn't be the best arena for me to showcase my efforts) Anyways thanks for your wonderful comment."

Nice concept, funny picture.

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "Thanks, comments like this are exactally what I wanted for this piccy. "

Wait goblins and T-Rexes lived in the same time? *looks confused* Did Goblins recreate dinos? *looks horrified and confused*
Anyways lovely concept... *lol* its very cute.... since you say it didn't work out the way you wanted to... give it another try.... maybe use photographs for refrence? they work wonders...
just suggestion, and my two pennies
take care

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "I do plan on redoing this picture once I get a digitizing tablet... that'll eliminate the restrictions that my scanner place on me and give me the freedom to do it how I actually want too. I will be using "photo" references too... I put photo in quotations because I haven't seen too many photographs of dinosaurs. If you follow me. As for the time period issue, I have and always will ignore issues like that, it's fantasy after all If I wanna draw cowboys having in a barfight with sumo wrestlers in a space station bar I dang well am going too... not that I have any desire to do so at the moment..."

Yipes--It's like an extreme amusement park ride gone bad!...I like it a lot!---You've won the cool imagination prize for today!

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "lol... That's definatly one way to look at it. Just to tell you calling it imagnitive is the highest comment you could have give me. Thank you very much."

I love this,
the idea is awesome...
I <3 dinosaurs ^^

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "Hey I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the comment."

Great details! The swaying lanterns, the goblins being tossed about, falling off, dangling from the nose-rope... I really get the impression that they've taken on a little more than they can handle. I like the dark coloring of the background, too, the kind of greenish-black sort of forbidding hue and all. I'd also like to add that it's not always a bad idea to crop the subject of an image (as mentioned above in another comment), but it's tricky knowing when it'll work and when it won't. In this case, I think if only the feet or only the tail had been cropped out of the scene it would have been just fine- I'm not sure how I feel about having both those elements cropped off. If you do redo it, you might try curving the tail around like it's lashing back and forth or something, to bring it more fully into the dimensions of the image. Hard to tell without actually seeing it, I guess! Keep up the good work.

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "Well yesterday was my B-day and I believe I will be revisiting this subject pretty soon because I got a digitizing pad and I'd really like to test it out! The view in the newer version will be much different if I get around to it, it will be a much more dynamic version and I'm going to change the view up alot too."

A very funny idea, i never heard of prehistoricx and fanstasy combined before...

Jeremy N. Marcum replies: "I like to try new ideas. What can I say? My imagination gets the best of me."

Sweet. Looks pretty rough on the goblins though. >
