Vignetti Yeti - looking for feedback in progress
-
@Valerie-Light I think they would all work well - I do like B the most for some reason...maybe the cleaner silhouette? - if you are going to have the puppy i think i like the position in A and B best
-
@Valerie-Light I really like both C and D. I gravitate towards D because the puppy is so happy. I also really like the pots and herbs hanging in the background
-
@Valerie-Light my vote is on A. I love how simple and bare the background is. The Yeti’s silhouette is very clear and just pops right off the page.
-
I vote A. It feels more like a typical spot illustration and keeps the focus on the characters.
-
I vote A
-
@Valerie-Light I vote A as well
-
I like D the most because of the different values in the picture. However I like how the chimney of the stove makes a natural border in image C. Maybe a mix of C and D would be an option? A stove-border like in C would probably mean that composition wise you’d have to ditch the stool with veg om the lower left though. The moving of the dog towards the right lower corner works quite well and makes more of a connection with the yeti this way.
-
I’m sticking with A because I think it’s the most ‘spot illustration-y’ :).
-
I vote for A!
-
I vote A too
-
All right, so many of you are encouraging me to do A, and I know that you're right about it being clear and readable and a traditional spot illustration, but something like C looks like so much more fun to me (and maybe a better addition to my portfolio). I decided to try some color roughs on a couple of different composition options.
If you all aren't sick of helping me design this by election, here are 4 variations of how to resolve the environment.
(PS I hope you vote for D)
-
A and d are my faves I feel like with the colored background it’s just a little chaotic, great work though!
-
I agree with @Asyas_illos , A and D.
-
@Valerie-Light I still like A. I like the silhouette, without the background it is easy to read. And, is most definitely a spot illustration.
-
@Asyas_illos I agree with @Valerie-Light that A is the one most like a spot illustration. I think it may be a winner, too. I called the last two so you better listen to me.
-
@Valerie-Light I like D
-
@Valerie-Light D is great! It gives it depth and detail but still feels light and open. It also looks a lot like a spot illustration to me.
-
@chrisaakins Ooh, music to my ears!
I think I may keep developing an A version and a D version together this week! I just feel like D is doing so much more storytelling, and I'm having a hard time giving up on that. -
Well, I stressed about this, overworked it for a while, ignored it for a bit, and then maybe figured something out today.
It's looking like the light values are really blown out compared to what I see in Procreate on my ipad, so that definitely needs adjustment. (BTW the tiny image in the corner is a thumbnail of my yeti's house, and I want mood and color to coordinate between the two.)
My main question is, Is the image readable? What would help that? As always, I welcome any feedback!
-
I still feel like there is a lot going on. I think if you removed the shelves in the background it help it not feel so busy, and maybe dial down the saturation of the blues background? but this just my opinion. I really love your style I’m sure you can pull it off whatever decide to do!
