Thoughts: Halfway between badass and computer-generated crap. The color palettes on some of them are all wrong. On many of them, they're two-tonal at the core. I'd like to see some interesting color combinations as well as triplets of colors instead of just pairs. They seem to be trafficking on a lot of Cezanne color field stuff.
This one, for example, annoys me. Beyond that it's elf-in-bikini, we've just got bolts of green crap coming out of the ground. It opts for high-contrast, simple things with the same monotone, night-vision look to it.
This one, by contrast, looks neat. We're given a sense of the form of these beings through shape and shadow and light, not by outright portraying them. They're in they're environment and they look spooky, like The Fallen. They're silent, quiet, cold and scary.
Some of the pieces have kind of a Mark Ryden tone to them. Familiarize yourself with his work, it's genuinely odd:
Numba One
Numba Twooo
I'm really interested in what Rebecca Guay has made for this set. Spooky is a sense best done in watercolors, and I think she can really pull out despair (see robe of leeches).
