Help needed with Color Comps

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@peteolczyk i really like them too but having a strong focal point is also good. I’m torn. Lol

[peteolczyk]

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I don’t know. I suppose it depends what your trying to get across in your image.
Is there a main character to focus on?
Would it help with the diversity and inclusivity theme if you have lots of characters, like you have - but break that rule (of having one strong focal point).

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I mean that's cool and I totally support you doing whatever you feel looks best. But what I'm saying is right now my eye keeps going to the green Dino instead of the purple one

[Nyrryl Cadiz]

@carlianne i think you’re looking at the green dino not because of the green hue but rather of its high value contrast in regards with its surroundings. I’ll have to fix that later on. I’ll probably darken the green dino or lighten the t-rex or something but I think their colors will stay as is.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz I like 4. And I like the color nudge on the T rex. Watch his back foot, there may be a tangent happening with the big green guy. It may just be me but it’s bugging me that the green brachiosaurus is getting chopped at the neck. I wonder if you should go even bigger with him, crazy big, so his body is cropped out instead of décapitation. . Just an idea.

@burvantill I thought of this issue too! i could but I can’t show the kids riding on his back. Besides, everything is soo not up to scale already. My t-rex is too small for one. I think I’ll leave it as is.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz
I did a quick draw over on my phone so it’s really bad, but what about this?
Lower his head, it will create a nice overlap with the Pterodactyl and lower the value and saturation so the T. rex is the focus. And move the ptero back just a bit for composition balance.

@burvantill thank you so much for providing feedback but I’ve made my mind. I’m going with my sketch. The brachiosaurus’ cut neck exaggerates how tall it is. That’s what I want.

@Nyrryl-Cadiz No problem . It’s super cute. The colors are fun!

@Nyrryl-Cadiz Hi everyone! So I’ve finished this piece. I tried using the red dino color comp but I found it too intense and it hurt my eyes when I look at it so The purple one was solidified. Sorry if it took too long to post again. I’m very busy currently. I had to pull an all nighter last night just to finish this one and submit it by morning. I hope you like it. I see a few issues but I’m too tired and too lazy to work on it again. I’m just happy I made it to my deadline.
