So I decided I would try out the challenge, and at the same time make use of my new drawing tablet. I'm happy with how it turned out, major improvement from my last piece ahaha. c&c extremely welcome, as I know some parts of it need work and I would gladly hear any tips :) And I know, the background is simple, curse the no transparency rule >:l |
Weekly Challenge: Red and Green
This has high loveliness potential =)
It's a rather large piece, possibly too large. You'd improve more by getting the best you can out of smaller frames; 100x150 is 15000 pixels and one week is not too much time to give each one of them all the love and care they deserve ;)
Lines could be smoother. Good use of color in AA but why not everywhere? Also AA of near horizontal lines could be spread out to 2 or 3 pixels. The dark outline of the crystal does not make it read as giving off light. His right arm (our left) could use a hint of a upper arm/forearm distinction, a pixel or two in width difference might be enough to do the trick.
Simple bg are the best bg! Maybe a subtle cast shadow could give it some depth.
