Godzilla WIP. Feedback always welcome!

I think I'm loving it @Braden-Hallett . Just one thing, can the circular red object be lowered in saturation or removed? I think it takes the attention away from the focal point.

Awesome process as well! Do you have a range of colors to pick from when going from grays to color? I find this process challenging for me : |

Great going..would love to see it finished!

@Heather-Boyd I may be slightly colour blind. He looks blue to me :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat: Either that or my monitor's not properly calibrated.

@bnewman Thanks I am indeed done with the sky. I really want it to look like the city's being actively trashed. Lot's of fire 'n glowy smoke.

@theprairiefox Something's always not quite right my my colours I'm hoping with time and practice they'll be less likely to feel off. Either that or I need to steal more colour schemes :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_closed_eyes:

I think you and @Darian are right, though, the red's way too much. I think the same grey as the rest of the robot innards'll work better.

@Darian Thanks! Right now the only thing I try to do all the time when it comes to colour is make sure I explore as many options as possible before committing (hence the several random colour studies). I try to keep things low-mid saturated so I have places to go and it's more likely to harmonize.

Other than that, everyone's got so much advice when it comes to colour it's hard to keep it all in the air. I either try to keep it as analogous as I can or I find someone else's work that has the colour scheme I like and 'borrow heavily'. I'm still tryin' to figure colour out

I missed the description on the contest page that says 'design a Kaiju to contend with godzilla' Not a Kaiju. Don't care. Still gonna submit For every giant monster there's almost always a giant robot anyways.

I'm gonna sit on it 'til tomorrow and after maybe a couple more minor changes I'll send it off.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback! This is always an awesome learning experience.

@Braden-Hallett Monster is a loose term, I think it counts, my boy as a toddler could be termed a monster on some days Lol Fantastic piece!!!!

@Braden-Hallett I like that much more... nice improvements.

StudioLooong

@Braden-Hallett oops, I didn't read that part either... hopefully they are okay with more loose interpretations cuz this is an awesome piece.

@StudioLooong I'm not worried about it Worst case scenario I get a pretty picture and a nice lesson about reading the whole prompt a tad more carefull :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_cold_sweat:

I saw this in the contest thread and my first thought was "What are you doing here!? (at SVS) Go make comics!" haha This piece is on the level.

braden H

@Washu Thanks That's some high praise. I'm here for the same reason everyone else is, just workin' on those basics and buildin' upa . portfolio

@Braden-Hallett Really? I pretty much just lurk here. I'm crossing my fingers that a robot counts as a kaiju.
