Well.... I worked on this one a bit more after I originally had called it good. I received some helpfull suggestions from paper demon members and tried to improve upon the original final. My thanks to Lloyd and Bogus Red for the critiques. I tried to darken up parts here and there to increase contrast. Let me know what you think. I will leave the other version up for a day or two so there is a basis for comparison available.

BogusRedTotal Posts: 2854Jul 26, 2005 11:57 pmyes this is DEFINATELY looking a lot better. Especially that dark shape right by the hand that is holding the sword. I never even noticed the sword. Yeah that dark area really makes him pop out. great work --- |

DennisTotal Posts: 984Jul 27, 2005 1:25 amYou did an awesome job with the contrast! The figure really stands out now and catches the viewer's eye instantly when one gazes upon this wonderful piece of art. You deserve an award for this if Paper Demon gave them. --- |

EvilBunnySlippersTotal Posts: 554Jul 28, 2005 1:17 amWow...all the improvements you made really show. I really like the added contrast and the thick lines around your character as now he is far more visible. I really love the reflections in the water and his armor..there is SO much detail in this, I LOVE it...excelent job!! --- The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity. -EBS |

zacula (Reply)Total Posts: 646Jul 29, 2005 3:50 pmThanks I'm glad you noticed the reflections, The one on the armor I thought of in the concept stage. The one on the water came as an after though, I almost left it out. |

Lady Anime79Total Posts: 2839Jul 28, 2005 11:47 amYes, Zac, this looks so much better. He really seems to pop out more this way. He isn't fading into the rest of the picture. Great job. It looks pretty dang cool. Sorry...I know that sounds corny, but I am trying to watch my language. --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

zacula (Reply)Total Posts: 646Jul 29, 2005 4:06 pmThanks, I liked the original but I do think this turned out muchbetter with the more effort I put forth. It is hard to edit language, Such as removing curse words. I myself still speak them fluently but best of luck to with removing them. |
