What story came to mind when you saw this image? If you thought of the story I imagined, I would say my work was a great success!
I would say Kill Bill comes to my mind when I see it.
Kill Bill is good!
The earlier piece was a bit too dark to submit as an assignment, so I reworked it to be brighter overall.
I'd say now it's too bright. The sweet spot is a mix between the two. You gotta let the shadows do their thing as well as the light.
Thanks for the advice! The balance and control of light and shadow is difficult! I need more practice.
