CULTURED FEMALES

current standings:


Challenge 3: Cultured Females
Description:
Create an idle animation of a strange cultured female.
Restrictions / Rules / Guidelines:
-Canvas size = 128 x 128
-There is NO frame count. However many you want
-Must be of a strange cultured female, ex: Dragon princess, dinosaur queen, android, mermaid (in other words, no regular cultures like japanese, french, german, etc. A new different culture, but has to still resemble a female human. With things like a mermaid, true the legs are replaced by a tail, but it is still recognizeable as a female human.)
-32 colour max. Pick your own pallete
-Must be of an idle animation
-No detailed backgrounds, and No transparency. Use 1 of your 32 colours as a solid background colour.
-Do not post in any other forums, keep your image to yourself until i post the duels
-Once you submit there is no changes / alterations allowed to be made after you submit.
Time:
2 weeks.
With these past 2 challenges, everyone has still complained about being pressed for time, so we will keep it at 2 weeks again.
Submitting:
-Do not post your image in this thread. PM me your entry.
-Again, I want 2 separate images. The first image is of your animated female. The second image, I want all your frames as stills. So however many frames all on 1 sheet, not animated.
Judging:
-Character design / originality
-Difficulty of character, ex: cartoony VS real, or simple shapes VS folds in clothes and muscle movement
-How fluid the animation is
-Personality of character, ex: is it a plain breathing motion, or does your character have something special in the idle animation that gives it its own personality
Deadline:
Wednesday, March14 - 7am GMT
(Find out the time conversion for your timezone)

If there are any questions feel free to ask, and ill answer them.
Best of luck to everyone
hopefully everyone will finish this round and understand the rules better.

Ill bump this one more day because the forums were down.
This is because, if people had questions they were either unable to send a PM or I was unable to send a response.
this may have also affected people in submitting their entry.

Sunday Feb25th 7am GMT
exactly 1 day bump, so whatever time you had worked out for the original deadline for your timezone, is 1 extra day.

Id just hate it to cause people to not be able to submit because the forum was down

I actually like the iris the way I had it but the upper eyelid I might change. I know Flaber didn't edit the lashes or brow but I figured I may have to use DD on those areas...?

Try using it on the space between the eye and eyebrow.
It takes alittle bit to understand and get the hang of.
the lashes should be fine without because they are all solid colour.
maby, just alittle little bit on the eyebrow itself, but its mostly solid colour too - so try it just on the left side where it kinks and you already have the dither.

if you have any problems or questions concering DD, i can help you with it, if your interested in learning.

heres a quicky edit i made for you.
hope you dont mind.

I wasnt a huge fan about the checkerboard dither pattern you have going on.
So i thought id share perhaps a different approach.


(mine on left, yours on right)

I played with the iris and eye lids mostly.
Instead of using the checkerboard dither pattern i used a different technique - Dynamic Dithering (DD).
I ended up drawing lots of different lines that follow the curves and forms of your shapes. These lines ended up running into each other, crossing and such, creating lots of broken lines as the dither pattern. There really is no set pattern. It is how your coloured lines interact with eachother depending on the shape its filling in.
by doing so it not only blends like in dithering, but it helps to accentuate the curves and shapes of the image. It can help give more depth and form because not only is your lineart creating the shapes that give the image form, but your colouring now also contributes because it follows those shapes that the lineart set.

I didnt touch the lashes, eyebrow or part inbetween eye and eyebrow because they seemed unfinished. Also, it would allow you to try in those areas if you so chose.

hopefully that makes abit of sense.
if not, i could try and elaborate alittle more.
