I am making a new icon and I need help with the sky. I never was able to make decent skys.
It is 2 rock, ledge type things, with bridges connecting them. Any help or crits or edits are welcome. Jake.
-Edit-
Heres an edit. Any better? ------------- For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it. |

The first thing I would suggest is bumping up the contrast by lightening the sky... I can hardly see the bridge and rocks against such a dark sky. Maybe add a couple simple clouds and desaturated hills in the background. |

Yeah baby. Really nice work on the clouds and the hills. I hate to be a nagging whore but if you lightened the sky just a little bit more it'd help a lot. |

Why do you do everything so small?

Josh, you know, im not sure. I am thinking of trying what sedge has been doing, the 30-90 min speed pixels. It seems like it could be fun. ------------- For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it. |

It's been going really well for me lately with the shorter time intervals. I spend less time on stuff and produce better pieces. Dilly-dallying has been killing my productivity the last few months. It's easier to put aside an hour than an afternoon or evening ya know? Posted By: Garage Inc.

Ya, I will try to do one tomorrow if I can find the time. Soccer game, my band is practicing, sleeping, just not enough hours in the day, haha. ------------- For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it. |
