WIP
So with the scaled up helicopter I am trying to match the pixel resolution (won't make that mistake again!).
I haven't even gotten to most parts of the helicopter but posting this image to ask for help on the area to the right of the door. I have tried several things but am not sure what I should be going for:
The top one I was trying to make the area to the right of the door look curved.
On the second one I tried to make it look flatter. I thought maybe there isn't enough pixels and colors to make a curved surface look good there.
I've read that dithering shouldn't be used on shiny/smooth/metal surfaces, correct?
Maybe I'm making it more difficult than necessary and trying to make it look too realistic? I'm fine with it being cartoony so should I cut back on the colors and changing them so often?
Just a little frustrated right now so any suggestions on what to try appreciated.
Also, can comment on which pilot you like. Tried with out black outlines then with matching helmet colors to helicopter.
