This one definitely caught my eye the most out of all the entries. The lighting is so intense, it gives me shivers.

I voted for you.

(Short and to the point, no?)

I actually really dig the muted color scheme, the "in the moment" quality you managed to capture (it's an issue that's hard to explain -- a lot of the other entries colored each character like they were a separate piece, I think...), and the serious (almost tense) atmosphere you created with the green overtone and the night sky.

It's really rather brilliant. Bravo.

Thanks! Personally I think the most important part of colouring is creating an atmosphere that can pull the reader into the scene.

I know there is no way I'll win. I do kind of want top 4.
Mostly just the little bit of attention is good. And it was fun to colour.

Bards-Tale In reply to sacking-jimmy [2006-05-25 04:09:58 +0000 UTC]

you never know... I definatly think it was the most unique and well done shading... everyone else didn't have a feel for the lighting like you did, and that was the draw for me, the colored lighting from all the "powers" and how they reflected on everyone...

I think You'll get there

BlackRamm [2006-05-14 17:37:41 +0000 UTC]

i agree..i also dig the green haze/fog affect you put into this. it adds a more destructive feel, more apocolyptic. i'm still deciding who i'm voting for, but you're definitely in my top 3.

after looking at them from a small scale view, the colors in this one definately stood out among the rest on the strength of its color scheme alone. you get majr points for doing something different from what was abviously expected from everybody.

It's going to be a long time. I'm making it myself in flash. I've done plenty before but I'm just not in a hurry this time.

That's real good. This's the skill i'm trying to put under my belt. It's kinda tedious to a degree. So you have any suggestion on books/tutorials or any sources that i can use to help gain this knowledge of web-designing?

Great work- you've got my vote. Your piece really stood out to me because of its lighting and more creative color scheme and atmosphere. Bon voyage.

(Anal comment: the width of the bottom of the frame is distracting.. i think it was intended to bring attention to the bottom characters, but i feel it takes away from them)

sacking-jimmy In reply to Blue-Whisper [2006-05-12 04:38:20 +0000 UTC]

I really appreciate the vote. Seriously thanks!
As for the frame I've always framed or mounted my work by leaving extra space at the bottom.
No real reason, just how I roll.
