New Pixel [WIP] [03 08 07]

on: February 27, 2007, 04:24:08 am
Linework isn't mine though I've tweaked it a bit.  Everything else, I've done.  Including remaking the match's fire and the cape.  Even though I've not done the linework myself, I'd like some pointers, I don't really want to change it drastically, however.

15 colors ATM.

Does anyone have any c/c on this?  I really want everyone's input on it.

It's nearly impossible to give c/c about colouring before the background colours are established and the light sources are decided. Whether it's a day or a night scene makes all the difference. The hand holding the match is very long compared to the other hand.

right now I really dislike the color selection on the pants in compairison to the skin color, maybe make the skin less saturated.. The pants are pillow shaded as well.

I was just messing with the skin color before I saved it.  That wasn't necessarily going to be the final color.  Shortened the arm, going to figure out a light source and everything else before I post the update.  Keep the C/c coming, though, I really appreciate it thus far.

Also, just as a mental exercise, I think it could be useful to give yourself a short homework assignment before you continue with this piece.  It's very easy!  Find a photo of a sunny day outdoors.  That's it!  However, there is a catch.  The grass must be (0,128,0) and the sky must be (0,255,255) and the sun must be (255,255,0).  When you find that photo, post it here!

OK, The pants are better, but still seem pillow shaded. And I dearly hope you do not intend to kepp the background colors the same as they are now. I still very much dislike the skin color with the rest of the peice, but that just may be me today...
