Woah comments
Surt: Thanks. The doll face was semi intentional because I've learned my limits; anytime I try to make something look too realistic I veer far into uncanny valley.
Which I still kind of did.
Ptoing: Yeah, I see what you mean. Especially with the plate metal being bent to her posture. I hope it's not too warped and I can fix it without a full re-paint. I have to keep the blue on the boots so it can match her sprite (
).. but I think I could make the blue less saturate. I will likely redo the face (I fear doing that though; I once ended up painting 7 or so different versions on another image). I liked it enough not to even though I saw what you see; but I could probably do a little better. Thank you for the comment.
Mathias: How'd you?!.. I like that contrast! It looks nice on the shorts and legs especially; and the arms shading too. You gave her some hips! hmm I don't know about the warped stuff other then on the plate. But I
really like the way you made the image pop out with that contrast and secondary lighting. Thanks for taking the time to do that and I will study it. Although her shoes appear to be on the wrong feet, they look more planted.. I struggled with that. I probably should have just busted out the liquify tool, it's a powerful tool but it irks me how it blurs stuff.
And I may redo the cowgirl/anachronistic boots altogether heheh.
Goals: Add contrast/ more lighting (study Mathias' edit closely)- reform plate and boots- take another shot at face- slightly adjust blues- possibly redesign boots. Thanks fellows! Maybe I should have posted in low spec.
