Ok heres my version I tried a couple of new things so feedback is always welcomed. im not actually 100% about this one but I worked on it forever and I think if you look at the same thing to long you loose objectivity. Enjoy
Also I had no reference pic so I was plucking the color scheme out of the air so heres an alternate version if you prefer.
Dang! It's sure as heck hard to compete with Dean. That's ok though, I'll do a version anyway.
Hy Polar Boy, you've learned quite a bit in a fairly short time, not bad bud. Your colored pieces have improved a LOT since you came here, I'm very glad you jumped in and started playing too.
Thanks PB. I had trouoble getting the highlights and shadows do what I wanted them to on this sketch for some reason (maybe it's because I'm so far out of practice?) I sure wish I could figure out that blurred airbrush trick that Sketchy uses. That really makes her glow.
Wow! I finally replaced my monitor and that Violet really is pretty washed out. I'll fix that and repost it soon.
Now that I get a better look at yours PB, I have to say I really like your backgrounds and those textures. Sweet, they make yours pretty unique, it's a nice touch.
