so at my school since im in advanced art i get to do a painting in my school on a wall. so im definately doing a skier but i have two ideas...

1st- So theres a set of stairs and on the side is a wall with a rail. so i would paint a skier and have it life size so it looks like hes really there.

2nd- Or on that same rail make a sequence of a jump. Paint like mountians and shit in the background and have a backcountry hit.

so gimme your opinions or if you have a good idea please share!

i think the skier on the rail would be sick or maybe a sequence of a skier hitting the rail

whatever you do, take a picture and post it on here

both are a good idea but with the bc you could get some really good background detail in.

Two reasons, the first sounds kinda sketchy...just to me.

i think the life size one, cause a sequence wouldnt relly display your talent, and could get sloppy since you have to make the skiiers considerably smaller.

from an artistic stand point a BC kicker sequence would probably be better

the sequence would be good from all angles, the guy on the rail might not look that great all around if the rail isnt set up right next to the wall

a sequence of a skier hitting the rail would be the coolest ever
you should do that one and then take a few pictures while your at it

If there's like an arch or some wallspace over a set of doors in like the halls or something, a sequence over that would be amazing. But if you're set on that rail location, do some kind of rail sequence where it looks like he's on the rail from any angle.
