Title: Unlikely palette 1
Post by: Turbo on June 29, 2007, 05:07:43 am
So i've been thinking about green for dark shades, and quickly came up with this. Will do some more in the future.

green works great, but his face looks kind of flat, like he's wearing a mask, i dont know why though, maybe his left cheek should be more to the left(left from the image perspective, not his)

I think because the whole face is equally highlighted.
Some areas should be darker to add depth.

Thanks for the comments. I think i've fixed these issues, along with some other things that popped as needing fixedness.

It's not the shading that makes the face look flat; his head is oddly shaped. I made a quick edit to show you what I mean.

Oh, thanks. There was a certain level of distortion that i wanted to show the expression, such as the jaw going back, but the head was really shrunk, didn't see it until you pointed it out. Thanks!

It looks a bit too skewed horizontally.
