amazing! not sure about legs and background.. i think it's most effective with it's legs fading into the dark and without much background.. maybe minimal background at the most, like something forest-ish with the silhouette of somethig scary hanging in the back :) ------------- pixel suit up! |

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 |

quick edit on the first wip... something swamp-ish. doesn't expand the canvas - i liked the first version with small canvas better - gives the feeling of a surprising snapshot.. someone's last photo :) your bunny is distracting me from working :) ------------- pixel suit up! |

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

| Don't have much to add unfortunately, but it looks really good so far! I like how smooth it is (the AA does it great justice as well as the dithering) and how the tendril-like muscles (could be wrong?) are keeping the entire skeleton together. |

Here's some palette swaps and edits :P

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. ------------- |

The third looks good for me, it's more contrasted and it really adds to the dark impression of the piece and the colors works well together.
The 1st is good too but the details on the red/flesh areas are less defined and the dark red needs to be darkened. I vote for the 3rd one The one with green and blue works well too, interesting/surprising color choice, the green makes it looks more putrid, rotten The whole execution of the piece is great, the only thing I have to say is about the highlights on the leg fading into the background being a little too strong compared to the arm |

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. ------------- ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▄█▄ ▄█▄ |

Why fight getting into your comfort zone when you so successfully got out of it in the original... ...just saying, k. ------------- |

Yeah, the 3d is pretty neat and as stated the green in #5 adds a nice rotten feeling.
@Jal: Actually the original is DB32 ;) |

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 |

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

Clearly this should end up as a 1920x1080 (or 1200, for me) background. No, in all seriousness, I think this could work very well as a somewhat minimalist BG. ------------- ▄▄█ ▄▄█ ▄█▄ ▄█▄ |

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. |

| Maybe you could add some rotting flesh and fur on the main skeleton? And this might make it go overboard, but maybe some blood from the teeth/paws |

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. ------------- |
