little mouse in the wedding band - which do you prefer?

[NicolaSchofield]

@Coley I joined SVS during inktober and I remember this piece as one of the first things I saw on the forum. So cool that you're still evolving it. Perhaps an entry for the Nightfall February prompt?

@neschof what a great idea!

@Coley I thought this image looked familiar, but I couldn't remember when I had seen it last! That's so cool this came from Inktober!

My favorite is the top right, although, I'd be interested to see what it looks like with the saturation of the top left, but the values of the top right.

[Coley]

@neschof I might do that thanks

[Coley]

I did some rim lighting etc and did a fair amount of rendering to the little mousie's face as the lines were a bit harsh I thought. I wanted to see things a little more rendered. wondering people;s thoughts? Do you like it better with the lines or more rendered? I wonder if I need a few harder lines/pieces of fur if it has gotten too soft?

[Coley]

oh I'm realizing I gave him a nose more like a dog than a mouse lol. back to reference!

[Coley]

@burvantill thanks

[Coley]

More like a mouse nose but not sure I'm quite there yet. When to stop rendering, that is the question LoL

@Coley So beautiful. I love all the adjustments you have made. Yes, you should definitely enter the "Nightfall" contest.

[Coley]

@RG-Spaulding thank you

[Coley]

I think I'm done so just dropping it here. thanks for the feedback along the way peeps

[BichonBistro]

@Coley love how this turned out 🥰

[Coley]

@BichonBistro thank you

[MirkaH]

i like the darkes one, but the colors seem a bit saturated in it. So maybe bring saturation down a bit, and then perhaps a a glimmer highlight around the front edge of the ring?

[demotlj]

@Coley Are you entering this in the contest? You should -- it's such a peaceful beautiful painting.

[Coley]

@demotlj I think I will. I'm stalling because I may nitpick it a little more lol. Or not. Will see! I think perhaps I just have trouble entering something way before deadline as I typically enter at the last moment LoL!
Thanks for the kind comment️
