      I may be completely off but if you google un-natural light sources there will always be some sort of color blow out that makes the value of the source much brighter then the rest of the values. I always drop a Hue/Saturation layer and turn the saturation all the way down so i can keep checking values. I did this and a quick paint over on the lazer eyes and toxic waste to show what I mean. You can see on the bottom I added bright colors with almost white in the center to really pop those lights in the values. bharris.jpg

        @Chip-Valecek You're not off at all! I really love the paint over you did, and I'll give it a try! Thank you Chip!

                Pretty done with the general painting (still finishing the wall climbing girl), now I'm moving on to light, edges and general perfecting. Pretty happy with the characters and I think the lighting will unify the picture a lot more. Any thoughts?

                  @bharris This looks great! One thing that pops out though is the numbers above the chalk board do not follow the perspective established in the rest of the piece - i think the high contrast of the white background behind the numbers makes it stand out a little more than it would otherwise too - looking forward to seeing the finished piece - great concept!

                    Thanks Kevin! I'm testing out the posters and the colors. I don't want them to stand out too much of course!

                      I can't wait to be done... lol. Still working on the light and border. I'm debating putting a back pack below the climbing girl, but I didn't know it it would get too cluttered.

                        It looks absolutely fantastic @bharris ..you should be proud 🙂 Love it! I don't think it needs anything else going on, there's plenty already! And the lighting looks great.

                            @bharris Wow - this looks absolutely terrific! I think the time you spent on going through the color studies and implementing input on the laser eye lights etc was all time very well spent. I agree with @Dulcie that I don't think you need to add the back pack. I like how Haven is clearly isolated which makes her stand out. If you begin to add to much overlapping behind her she might get lost. I say you have already hit a home run here!

                              @Rich-Green Thank you so much Rich, I really appreciate your comments! You're both right, it would be too much behind her. 🙂

                                        Definitely unique idea! I love the characters. I know that my son, when he was young, would probably have loved to become a toxic waste super hero 🙂
