"Lost Without You"


My wife suggested this treatment of Illustration Friday's challenge of the 'lost' theme.

As always, your comments are appreciated.

That's so sad... The greys and the indistinct swirling background enhance the feeling of being engulfed by grief. Good work, Tony!

This is so gothic! I love the swirling background too - adds a touch of chaos to it all. Great!

Linda said...

that was a very moving idea. i like how you did texture on the tombstone and esp. the feeling of the sky.

Manuela said...

Caroline said...

A good take on a lost one. I like your use of tones, that background almos tlooks like a blackhole that she is being pulled down.

I like the swirling effect in the background, it helps pull the eye into the character and grave stone. And the black/white/grey tones all work together to make the feel of sorrow.

Julie Kieras said...

Perhaps this is not the response or idea you intended, but when I saw this illustration, I immediately thought of Juliet weeping over the supposed death of Romeo - the dark sorrow suggested in your illustration also speaks of the woman's own doom... but that's just my response! :) Thanks also for your comments on my blog! I appreciate the time you took to post!
