Started this based off a palette challenge from Pixelation. Other than the palette and size I don't think it applies to the original theme, though. I'm at a loss right now as to how to go about with adding shadows so i'm open to any c+c. I'm really trying to make an effort to not abuse dithering like I have in my last bunch of practice pieces. If there's any inconsistencies with the lighting (which I'm fairly certain there are) it's because I seem to be shifting it to the left as I keep trying to add stuff. It was originally supposed to be over him, but i'm not sure where I'm going to take it right now. |

Yes, too busy. And the face was also much better in the 1st version. You might want to only use the 2 lightest tones in the bg, have the girl as a silhouette, and get rid of the distracting stuff in the lower left corner. But it does apply to the theme, I think, and it's a good submission. I love these palette challenges, I still have to post the ones I made for CC... |

Great update! It's still maybe a little busy in some parts: the neck is random noise, as well as the bg in the lower right corner, and this forces you to add that light reflection / outline on the nape which is not so good (mostly, it's supposed to come from a light source you don't have any other clue about). The curve (road?) in front of the girl is also too distracting: just blend it a little. |
