        It looks fantastic, if it was a computer game environment I'd have to look at everything in this room and try to pick them up 🙂

          I love it. One of the things I love most about it beyond the execution and style is it is something I would have never thought of!

          Also procreate updated you can go back to photoshop btw. So both ways with a psd with layers intact. I finally have a process down which is odd I sketch in procreate, take to photoshop or mangastudio to paint then back to procreate to finalized. Backwards I know.

            @Stephanie-Hider Not that backward. I actually love ProCreate brushes better than Photoshop brushes. I even asked the ProCreate service center if there is a way to export their brushes into photoshop, but there isn't (the brush engines are different). I was trying to find out why I like them so much, and I believe it is the pressure-sensitivity algorithm - it seems closer to how a natural brush or pencil behaves. Recently, I have been playing with ClipStudioPaint, and I think the way brushes behave in that software is much closer to ProCreate - very very nice. I can see why people prefer CSP for sketching and inking (I do not think the painting flexibility is close to Photoshop, though I may be wrong)...
            But yes...abundance problems!

            Anyway, I need to get going with color on this one. I will start today!

              I really really love how CSP paints. I wish Kyle would do brushes for it but I have a ton so I shouldnt complain and only use 3 or 4 of them on a regular basis. I literally cut my painting time in half if not more painting in CSP. So glad to see others like it too 😃

                So, I did try out the extreme background/foreground separation - I do like it. This piece was such an experiment on so many levels that I feel confused about it being successful or not. But I am quite proud of it at this moment...

                    It looks amazing @smceccarelli - congratulations on a wonderful piece! It works on so many levels - colour, value, composition - and it's really interesting to look at with all the details. A really great way to fulfil the challenge 🙂

                                    OMG @smceccarelli This is amazing!

                                    I love the color separation idea! And the warm vs cool colors. I am just wondering if you tried the alligator in a warmer color... Especially his coat. It is a very cool green and it contrasts a lot with the rest of the foreground (maybe that was the plan, if so, my comment is useless!)

                                    For example (minus the pink that appeared on certain area that where already warmer) :

                                    0_1492129799694_Sans titre-1.jpg

                                    But it already looks great 🙂

                                      @NoWayMe Thank you! It does look nice with the brownish coat - I will give it a try!
