4 HARNESS THE POWER OF TRIANGLES

I often base my compositions around strong, simple shapes. Here, I wanted the heroes in this piece to have an individual moment to themselves, but also to fit together as a team. Because a triangle is a strong shape I composed the team so that its various elements led the eye to the orc paladin’s head (the green triangle). And because the background is also arranged as a downwards-pointing triangle (the blue triangle), it created a diamond shape where the heads of the main figures are approximately placed. All of this is meant to pull the reader towards the expressions on the characters’ faces.
