Little Shop of Horrors is such a great show. I love Howard Ashman and all of the fairy tales he created for Disney. But it's his edge I appreciate most. Ya Never Know is the song about Seymour's success with the weird plant in the window. I wanted something dark, moody and greenhouse-ish. I sort of got it. I think I felt like this painting was going better while I was doing it than I do now. It seems far too gritty and the blacks have lost most of their detail. I am pleased with the plant's upper lip--considerable time was spent there, refining. If I'd had time, the rest of the image would at least be brought up to the same level. That said, however, I do like the overall color scheme, and I wouldn't call the experience a zero. A little more concept would make me more forgiving. This set-up seems too straight-forward. My brain seems to be calling out: Feed me.
Yes I'm dumb. :)
