Hey no I like that its a good close up of the cathedral. But... can you darken it up a bit more, and really push the cathedral back so its for on the horizon, sort of like you are looking at it from a mile away or something, but still from a street like in that one. But make it more winding alley, not an alley, but you know how buildings used to lean in at the top in ye olde times. And have the street lights on, remember just red or green. And for the background, you know at night when you are in a big city and all you can see are the street lights glittering all over the place, like that plus a big cathedral on the horizon Would that be ok no prob'i'll see what i can do but you'll lose a lot of deatail..do you want it in silhoete..i've spelt that wrong...very dark. ;D

its getting better go darker, the sky is just right, thats the colour I want, and I like the misty bit thats happening in the middle, thats perfect, but we need to see the lights more, brighter if you like, and red/green/blue stained glass on the cathedral, needs to glow. More gothic for the cathedral aswell, and I liked the two towers you had on the other one, push it back further, right back. It should still dominate the sky line but also blend into the shadow of the middle ground, whilst providing a strong silouette.

Yes, a little bit more sagged, like this is a slightly less affluent part of the city, throw in some weeds and rubbish piles if you like.

I like the first one, thats the closest yet to my idea about the background, and for some reason I like the buildings in the second one more, I think its because they seem more substantial, they have more presence, can you make the street smaller, not as long. large buildings up front. You remember the one I drew, thats as long as the street needs to be, think of it literally like a picture frame, you are using the fore ground to frame the "real" picture which is the cathedral on the horizon. I do like the cathedral in the first one though, it really good. And the colour of it is just right, black.

the second one has more detail that the first (which is just block colour at the moment ;D,what i'll do is the two,then you can decide which one....or not...?..the paper has been turned to give it a more panoramic view....unfortunatley you tend to lose the claustrfobicness of the building in the foreground?..so do you want the paper ..up*high* or along*long*?... ;D i'll get onto it asap,(wife permitting)

The 4th one down with the stained glass and the multitoned sky, nice ;D. I see what you mean about which way the paper should be, portrait is the one where the long sides run top to bottom yes, i'm thinking that would be better. It means it can be more itimate if you know what I mean, rather than a wide landscape you would get this teasing glimpse of what lies further away. I like the purplish toned one by aswell, adds a sort of twilight glaze to the whole thing. Tell you what i'll do, using the pics youve done for me as a guide I might have a crack at it myself in oils. But could you do a portrait version of the purply one first please so I can see where things need to go

[a href=" "] [/a] that would be great Daz' .but hang back for a bit coz' i've got two more to finish ;D and then that's me well and truley done in doing shrines ...couldn't you use the composition from one as a guide and the colour tones of the other for the same reason??i only ask as i'm getting a bit stale doing the same pic so many times. ;D i can feewl myself getting ''slapdash'',rather than me do you one why don't you just print off a couple and cut the one down the middle to get the composition as you want it ,then use the other one for reference to the background??
