Don't Mess With Texas. (Still a WIP)

[Rawsushi]

Updated with an incomplete background.

I just wanted to prove that I am, in fact, still working on this.

its looking nice, but the background's lighting doesnt seem to fit in with the lighting on the cowboy dude

[Rawsushi]

Yeah. It's something I plan on fixing. In all honesty, most of the background has been recycled from a piece that I didn't want to see go to waste.

His clothing is going to end up looking like more of a gold color now... which is fine. In fact, I think it makes the picture more foul. Probably something like this:



But, you know, more shiny and gross.

Now I just need to figure out how to make his "being lit from the front" shading seem more natural.

I must say, that I am much more of a fan of the previous update (the one with the Texan flag)
It looked like one of those old cartoon's lobby cards, thing that I find amazing.

On the newest update, the BG and the character are both nice (though the clouds are a bit meh, and the trees look more suitable for a game than for that picture) on their own but not so much together (at least so far, probably because of the outline clash in the yellow parts of the bg which kinda ruins the subtle-ness of the picture right now, and the different lighting)
Somehow I wish this ended up looking like something out of a looney toons cartoon.

So far it is pretty good, looking forwards to more updates.
Keep it up.

Well, as I did this in layers, I could easily just dump the background and try again. It's not really a big deal; I'll just use it for some other project at a later date.

If I can't get the sprite to mesh well, then what's the point, right? I can easily turn this back into another color-conservation piece. I'll play with it for another day or two.

PS: Panda, I do believe you just gave me an idea.

Hmm i must say I think the first background you did suits the picture more better. without it people looking at the picture might just read "Tex's Ass" and not get the Texas reference.

Also the lighting on the figure is suited to more of an indoors setting.
