well, I figure you're just trying to take us all in a ride, or you just are determined to make very very poor artistic choices.
Eitherway I think you're just putting yourself in a very uncomfortable situation for participating in this forum, because as long as you do this you wont be trusted.
I understand the idea of using contrasting colors to create appeal, hell, Helm who's been the main "contender" of sorts you've had belives in that too. But just using it as if it were a common midtone doesnt work,you need to keep that technique only to use it where it'll actually create an appealing effect, the way you're using it right now just makes your stuff look dirty.
your stuff has a lot of gradients, granted not mindless cilindrical/radial gradients, but you do have a progression from dark to light going on in your shaedes, only you break it up in the middle with a wack color, you say this is a shocking effect, I agree...that doesnt make it good, it just builds up to a cerain appeal, and then breaks it for no reason, that is not appealing, that is frustrating, like a game with a great plot and no ending.
you argue this is your artistic choice and whatnot, well....I dont see anyone that apreciates it, because it just isnt a new idea, it's an old idea we're all familiar with used in one of the poorest ways posible. That is not the case with Ptoing who has come to build a consistant aesthetic with some slightly dissident techniques that do have an appeal of their own.
