concentration of colors*

the rest of it has beautiful mixing, where the hair is really dominated by a single color

You can't really tell with the poor image quality, and the lighting the art studio i'm working in, but the dark green parts of the hair are actually blues and purples, but i do understand what you're saying. I was actually thinking of making it more purple or blue towards the 'roots' of the hair, near the middle of the scalp, as a highlight. Thanks for the input.


@Fak: That's really nice, very calming and relaxing. The saxaphone is one of my favourites. Do either of you play other insruments?

wow such great stuff posted here. I especially like junkboys latest pic, I love that shading.
Made some landscape while trying to keep the colorcount very low...


didn't came out as good as it could have but well.. it was worth the try, since I've learned some things..
if someone cares, here's a progress animation

Stwelin:  My guffy's main instrument is the baritone saxophone, but she also plays alto.  My main instrument is piano, but I also play drums and a little guitar/bass/anything.

adarias: it reminds me of a popup book, and sorta like paper mario.  I'm sure this would be more foliage and such, because that's sorta your thing... right?  but I really like the colors, very tropical and have nice value.  even though the outlines are rough, I think it would be a good idea to still have a nice simple border.

Photoshop and I decided to make up. I'm trying to draw a grungy type tooth fairy. It's still early in development, and needs work. I'm wanting to know if I could have some creative input as what to add to this guy to make him more edgey, or dirtier.



Also, if there's any spots that need touching up, I wouldn't mind some some early criticism before I detail it, and it's too late...

oh shit boobies, I love this fearie dude

he's raw punk looking without being cliche and cheesy, nice job dude, can't wait to see the wings

I think though he could use a little more volume, mostly around his back and legs

@philipptr - Wow that looks really awesome man. Only thing I would say to fix would be the outlines on the sun beams. It makes them seem to stick out a bit too much unless that is what you're aiming toward.

i would hit him with a red-brown dust in the shadows, and some spots.  i also would change your light to cold (urine-colored) light.  I also kicked up the red in your shadows to give it that translucent ugliness

heres a very dramatic recoloring:



you dont have to be that drastic, im just throwing the ideas out there.

not on the edit - i would put a little more of his chest in shadow, it feels like you bring the light in a little bit high, considering the shape of his arm, and surely it isnt sticking out farther??

haha, funny concept. I would make his acessories be made from tooth, all of it. Tooth gauge, tooth rings, tooth crown. And his tutu would be made from dental floss, tho that would be hard to show i guess
