Horror background

 the first thumbnail i wanted to try an extreme perspective to give a sense of intimidation and have the audience feel small and weak. having it show mostly the under part of the structure in the sky adds mystery and the obscure things hanging from the chains binding it are also supposed to add mystery and fear of the unknown. the chains coming toward the viewer is also to make the structure feel aggressive.
 this idea came from courage the cowardly dog as i found the emptiness to be scary in a way. the minimalism of this composition would be challenging in a way to pull off effectively for me so it interests me to pursue this idea. i think there is space to do some haunting things with the presentation of the baby carriage.
 going along the lines of simple composition i attempted a hallway scene. the perspective and claustrophobic feeling is quite effective but i don't know if i will be able to execute.
 this concept was inspired by supernatural horror which i tried to communicate with the witch doctor like tee pee structures, the constructs in the building are supposed to be vague yet menacing.
several perspective issues but i think that the emptiness and mystery is communicated strong enough.
i had a difficult time communicating the distance between the carriage and the building, i tried to solve this by desaturating the building and having the carriage appear more sharper. the plants in the foreground add depth but are too close to the carriage to be as effective as they could. i think the empty space in the sky is effective of communicating the idea of emptiness and unknown. i think building structure may appear to symmetrical as the towers are too balanced and making them uneven would add appeal as well as give a sense of unease.
