Timothy Leary, a magickal messiah that is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his death this Spring.
This is an illustration for Sub Rosa 4, for an article about Leary's life post-prison and his parallels with Aleister Crowley.

Utterly superb drawing and content of course...a top favorite.
I think that this would benefit from pushing the illusionism much further.
Specific suggestions:
1. His right sleeve (the leftmost one in our view) does not have enough overall tonal gradation to push it back into space.
2. The hat does not yet recede towards its rear or pick up enough of the yellow light from the background atmosphere.
3. Atmospheric perspective is not taken into account sufficiently. There should be noticable haze over the mountains, causing a progressive decrease in contrast as space recedes. Also, near the golden dawn's brightest part, there should be light bloom present.
4. The principle of radiosity suggests that the orange from the ground should bounce onto the surface of the book, as on to part of his robes.
Hope that's helpful and not just annoying. This is a case where the piece is so good that rather small changes could make a big difference.
First off, everyone here at deviantART would like to say THANK YOU!!! We have received an overwhelming amount of enthusiasm for the launch of version 6 and believe that this has been our best-received launch to date.

`karemelancholia is one of the most genuine deviants you could ever met. Always active and a true deviantART cheerleader and supporter in every aspect. You can always count on her to lend a hand or get involved, and you usually will find her doing large amounts of both at any given moment. She's consistently reports on contests around dA, showcases the efforts of her fellow artists and shows her charitable side through various activities. Besides all of this, she's a truly talented artist which is why she's an obvious choice for deviousness this month. Read More
