I don't think that I've ever had a collage come together so quickly. It hasn't even been a week yet and already I've got only some small areas left that a few inspired images would fill up in hours. My work today was propelled by the purchase of a Conde Nast Traveller (UK) magazine, one of the benefits of Midtown living are those international magazine stores, which featured not one but TWO articles about mountains and Tibet (respectively). I think that last sentence was a tangled, twister of a run-on, mi dispiace. I've entirely abandoned "The Fitz & The Fool" as a working title, but am still looking for suggestions! (Why does no one ever respond to my queries?)
With the Tibetan images having solved my foreground/background dilemma, it looks to be smooth sailing to completion with a few notable exceptions. The most troubling challenge to me is finding a way to integrate the light sky behind the two figures on the lower right with the hills that I've imposed "behind" them. Maybe some image with some kind of roiling fog that can bridge the two images?
My second challenge will be the sky area between the red cliffs and the green. I really don't like doing sky made up of lots of little bits of blue, it always looks bad to me. I have an image of Niagara Falls that I'm contemplating integrating into the blank area above the falling figure. Or some kind of bird/dragon/angel combatant? Too crazy?
