Lonely lampost

Okay... *cough* first time writing critique.

The concept of the art reminds me of the movie "spirited away"... The train tracks on water from the movie is a really memorable scene.

But apart of that, this art itself: a lamp post, separated stepping stones and that one chair surrounded by shallow coral reef speaks of an isolated paradise. And a really deserted place too because of the moss growing on the lamp post. The entire pic itself shows a peaceful place. A good place to be alone, chilling under a good weather, looking at the horizon of a calm sea. Maybe occasionally sees a group of fishes swim by below the surface. It must be a nice view. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="390" title=" (Smile)"/>

The color of the art itself is very refreshing. And really nice to look at personally because of the large amount of blue water surface mixed with some greens. And I really like the details you put on those coral reef at the bottom of the sea, and of the moss growing on the stone and lamp post. It shows the amount of extra time you've put into the drawing. Good effort. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="390" title=" (Smile)"/>

Though I wish to point out my doubt about the solid shadow cast on the water. Since water is colored transparent here, the shadow of the chair and lamp post will most likely be cast onto the rocky surface or the bottom of the sea. You can also add reflection of the lamp or chair onto the water surface (a thing that I like to do when I draw water surface <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/l/l…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="384" title="LOL"/>). These of course are just personal opinion. The final decision is always yours to make. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/t/t…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="262" title="Thumbs Up"/>

Overall, really great work. I hope I can be the guy sitting on that chair someday, looking across the blue sea, observing the waves, and movement of the clouds above; without worry about a thing in life, even if its only for a short time. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="387" title=" (Wink)"/>

Keep up the good work.
