Desc: A worn down, defunct Tunnel of Love
Feedback: Originally, I wanted an outside perspective of a tunnel of love with the words "TUNNEL OF LOVE" plastered on a wall somewhere, but it was hard to find reference photos of the outside that would depict what I was looking to draw. It was much easier to find references for the interiors, which I find to be arguably creepier. I knew I wanted the vibes to be cheap, worn, and not well-maintained; it's meant to be a creepy dungeon-like area that the characters visit to find the entrance to the realm of Gods (in order to kill the God of Love). A lot of the texturing on the thin walls is meant to show a poor paint job that's now cracking from a lack of maintenance. I wanted to give the rest of the piece more texturing or light work but that's both a time and skill issue. I think the final reddish-pink hue that goes over the entire piece does well to tie things together and give it the creepy glow I wanted, but next time, I'd rather be more intentional about all of the textures and the coloring for everything (for instance, the swan would be presumably be white when the ride first opened and now it'd probably be yellowed with time, maybe even rusted over-- rather than red-pink).
