What a great palette...yummy.

disgusting and amazing! The palette is yummy indeed!

Well, at least one leg is fading into the darkness :)


(yeah, the canvas size is a bit large, I never learned how to properly crop an image in grafx2 :D )

Thanks for the backdrop suggestion, I'll experiment with silhouettes :D

Good to know! I'm still exploring the toolset :D

Dammit, that's a neat idea. Should have thought of it before I made the legs :D

Here's the current wip state:

Awesome!
The crypt Keeper's version of Bugs Bunny.

To me, its all about how the dithering on the foot works on the BG.
The original colors still looks the best but of these new edits I only like the very first on the left.

Yeah gonna agree on the third palette. It's nice and natural, but not quite as monochromatic as the last. The subtle bluegreens work much better with the white ramp than your initial version.

And I also think the dithered foot might be the biggest issue. Why does it fade away so darkly? It's not that far back,so it should be a bit lighter. Or there could be super dense fog but then the light foot should also be fogged up. In most images it kind of feels as though part of his leg is missing/broken.

The original palette is superb and unique for you. All these new variations are attractive but 'more of the same' from you. Why fight getting into your comfort zone when you so successfully got out of it in the original...

...just saying, k.

Yup, "borrowed" right from DB32. (not that it's very unusual for me to do, right?) :D
The palette swaps are, in left-to-right order:
1) my 13col palette (although I think it's not complete plus there might be another color left from DB32 where needed
2) the hueshifted thing I used for "Abandonment" (really just grayscale with added greenish and pinkish hues)
3) slightly modified palette I used for "Berenice"
4) (I think) Ptoing's C64 palette :P
5) Temple of Lunarius colors (the green and blue thing already noticed a few posts up hehe)
6) The simple, almost monochromatic palette I used for an older portrait study.

I might go for some sort of hybrid palette or I can just tweak the reds on the first one to the left to make it appear more... juicy :D

Well, crap, that’s going to give me nightmares.

Consider the dimensions/composition before you get too far. Main object is in the wonky spot between center and thirds right now.

It could easily be my eyes but the right paw/hand seems longer/larger even though the other is "closer" to the viewer. Obviously the pose is very different in each so like I said.... I could be totally wrong.

Also, the greens in the 2nd to last palette is very nice!

The wormy bits make me think of The Strain btw!

Looking forward to the final product.

DAT NECROBUMP

And it did not match the suggestions I gave you. It was older than 30 days, not on the front page,and also it was very unlikely that your suggestion would restart the discussion as MRMO also did not respond to the last few suggestions before that.
