Title: parachute landing
Post by: toaster on March 26, 2011, 09:54:26 am
I'm trying to make a parachute for my secret agent.
WIP:

Any tips?

Edit: New version.

i'd remove the black lines from within the actual parachute, it's breaking up what should be one unified form and making it look like a bunch of rocks overlapping each other. eyes look pretty uneven, and the hair color melts into the face. dark greys on the suite could be lighter, not really noticeably at 1x as-is. the risers seem to be missing, so it's a bit mysterious how it's attached to the spy. lines should be 'pulling' the parachute where they attach at the sides.

I changed the outline on the parachute. I think it's better, but now the parachute looks like a giant grey bread  ???:

On that angle of decent and the angle of which the parachute is he is about to crash,  turn the front of the parachute up a bit.

The parachute is too straight. It should have an arc to it to make it higher in the middle.
Just a suggestion that if I was secret agent I would probably have green camo on top, and sky blue underneat.

Or maybe a Union Jack.

Get rid of the black outline entirely. Black outlines look bad and your character doesn't have them, so it makes it confusing. Use the kind of shading you have on your character to create forms instead of outlining.

I tried to remove the outline, but I don't like it:

I'm going to try removing the outline on this version to

Instead of a Black Outline try a Darker Gray

No, not like that.
Do like this

But the outline that is the whole shape should be a slightly darker shade of gray.
