Title: [HELP] Seven Samurai
Post by: Dreadnaught on August 17, 2016, 10:05:45 pm
I have been working on this image from Seven Samurai (If you haven't seen it, close this tab and go watch it somewhere!) I am using 5 shades.

I have one version where I try to render out all of the little graves. But I do not care for it. It looks so noisy.

I reworked it to draw attention only to the four graves at the top of the hill.

It still just feels wrong. I was hoping I could get some help. I am not glued to 5 shades really, it was just a limitation I set for myself.

I'd say maybe simplify the ones you want us to focus on into silhouettes, keep the ones closest simple. Removing them entirely leaves big empty space in the picture, doesn't look right that way.
