I learned in my recent thread that you should ditch the white background, and use something to fit your 'scene'.

Hey man, you gotta lower that color count and get rid of all those grays on the mask, here's an edit of mine, showing you the power of contrast and light sources:

Note: I'm not really sure why I changed the mask, I got really into it I guess.

[SWOT]

are you happy now. im not changing the mask.

[philipptr]

Are you posting here to make US happy?

Personally I think this piece although its pretty small still needs much work, especially on the mask which you dont want to change. also do you think the kind of antialiasing you applied is reducing the jaggies in some way?

[SWOT]

I kind of fixed the mask. and recolored it.

It's looking better, though the piece still needs alot of contrast and maybe you could make him hold something? Those grays on the head just aren't helping man, get rid of em. I was thinking about his appearance aswell, maybe changing his shirt to white, giving him black pants and giving him a black tie might make him look a little bit more uh, well, like a business man(Though the red and green work fine too, just a suggestion)?

[SWOT]

As far as holding anything i can't think of anyhting that i can actually make.

[bengo]

Well make an attempt, try maybe a uh.... bat?

[SWOT]

Ok i took off the gray form the mask. and added more contrast to the shirt.


Here he's holding a baseball bat.

I noticed the bat kind of blended in witht he mask so i made a metal bat instead. Any suggestions on how to make it loomk more metalish?

[bengo]

Here's a quick piece, was having foon:

Well, what I was intending was for you to make him more dynamic, kind of like my piece above, try making him look like he's ready to swing it or something. More contrast and when the bat had similar colors to the mask, you should've made the two both use the same palette. Metal bats tend to be shiny, so yeah, make it shinier(If you don't know how to do this, go look at shiny objects, if you don't know what a shiny object is... well, I don't know then). More contrast is still needed, I'm not seeing you add much, nice job taking off the gray though, looks better.

don't really like it, it was kind of one of those comical moments. Hes holding a bazooka which i couldnt sprite right.
