Title: 3 eyed green guy
Post by: chickuaua on January 28, 2007, 11:28:45 pm
Hello!
I've made this guy just for kicks today, and am posting it for some C+C... :)
It's nothing special, based on a quick sketch, and I tried out some shading and dithering, along with a limited palette... A total of 10 colors, a number which came out sporadically.

Left to right: outlined version with transparency; without transparency; and with palette.

I know, the eyes (especially the top one) could use some more depth (as would the whole character) and some more contrast, plus self-shadowing would be cool...  ::)  Unfortunately, I don't have much time ATM so this was made in some hurry just to try some things out. :)
I hope you don't find it too pillow-shaded  ;D

It's not nessiaraly pillow shading..where as it's an excess amout of dithering that makes it appear pillow shaded.Just tone that down a bit and mabye add some more highlights to the eyes and it will look great!
