just wanted some CandC on this before i try and submit it to the gallery.  how to improve it and what not.

is this better or worse?



i tried playing around with the saturation and colors.

Seems more like a color change than a contrast change. Mind you its no guarantee it will look better its just that all the pixels are kinda running together into a pixel pudding if you will.

I thought i added contrast to it... I made the shades of colors i used have more of a difference between them. meaning, there is more contrast between the darkest pink and the next shade, and so on.  but maybe i am not fully understanding what you mean by contrast jalonso

I took some of the dithering out, but not i dont think it has that soft look to it that i was going for... what do yall think of the latest edit?

That's not quite what I meant.  I'll give you an edit in a bit ;)

Acidic is the first word that came to mind.  I realize that hot pink may sound exciting, but it just doesn't look pleasant imho


here's what i meant about the dithering - it was completely overtaking the whole thing, and by using solid shades and soft dithering for texture you can make it look like a 3d object rather than just blinding pixels all in straight rows.


hope it gives you some ideas.  I also tried to give it more shape - like the belly and such, that's what makes it less boring.  when you have a ball sitting on top of another ball then yes, it will be pretty boring, so give it slightly more complex form.

The think making the shadows deeper further away from the lightsource will make it pop more.
