Title: Glacier Background
Post by: Altoontoon on November 27, 2009, 01:40:27 am
Hello again. Another background. The shape that appears in the middle pretends to be a fog mass, but i need to get that effect with this few colors. If you have any idea you re welcome.  :) Most of the picture is still in rough as you can see, i want to looks like the right zone.

I detailed the rest of zones and finally remove the bright colors for fog effect. I changed also the black color like you suggested, thank you, i like the effect. I kept the white so sky loose all his splendour.

Woah, ambitious!

Unfortunately the fog isn't really obvious. You need more flexible colours to work with if you want to pull something like that off.

I suggest replacing the white and black (which aren't really necessary, imo) with 2 greys that you can use to buffer the other colours. With those two greys and your current midtone (the brown-red), you should have a much easier time rendering the fog.
