Oh dear, Oh dear, I appear to have screwed it up with the rushed poorly drawn BG, oh well, I dont think it belongs in the intermediate gallery, oh well, shit happens:(

you could work on the background more. the clouds/sky work alright, but the water and grass could use some texture. the shadow is a little lame, as well.

Well, I tried to avoid textures, cos i wanted a cel style look (how arse up THAT went)

marcello (Dec 6, 2003)

you can have textures and still maintain cel shading, it's simply a matter of making the shadows and shades more interesting. also cleaning up the lineart on the ground may help. But for example, you could have tufts of grass and maybe some flowers or plants of some sort sticking up out of the ground.

you also might want to note how the shadow and lighting of the grass are in relation to eachother, and the sun. Since you have the sun rather low in the sky, it would actually be considerably redder, shadows would be very deep (and going in the opposite direciton of the sun), and the hill would be darker towards the bottom of the image, rather than towards the right/top.

If you notice the shading on the face,body and the bodys shadows, go to the left side then when you look at the grass the shadow is on the right side and then the sun is behind you SO..the face should be complely shadowed and the hill should have a little highlight along the very top of it.i like the way the sun reflects on the water...AND...Welcome to the site! *pat*
