[WIP] Turtle

on: May 04, 2007, 10:32:03 pm
I was working on a turtle between spare times along with my egg, the turtle however has been suffering, while I try to digest thoughts over the egg.  :'( That's beside the point, I can't seem to figure getting a more shapely appearance to the different little things on the shell as well as the shading is terrible imo.

Add some contrast to the green parts....
The top part of the shell looks fine, though I feel it should be brown rather than green. You don't really have to do any more texture to it than what you already have.
The under side could use a bit of texturing as well.

For the contrast I would suggest adding another lighter green for the highlights.

Aside from that, it's looking great!

from what i saw (mentioned by snippa) the bottom could use more texturing, and it looks like you didn't use many/all of the yellowish shades on it.

black outlines aren't good either; pardon me if you were planning to change that though.

as for the top texture, you could try something like this:

Reldros, that seems to just make the turtle lumpy, not really textured. I think Snippa is correct, the top of the shell is fine texture-wise, but the bottom could use texture.

I'm not going to pretend this is a small task either; certainly none of us here can claim to have accomplished it.  it's the realm of masters.  still, it's what we all have to try for.

eh, you're right. i hadn't looked at a picture of a real turtle first.
good luck on finishing this madartisan. :y:
