xmas 3rd Thursday WIP
-
@mattramsey great feedback, thank you!
-
Updated reindeer and lightened up the values in the foreground. Still it is a value study vs the actual values. So once I lay the color down I will make sure to keep the level of values in mind. Taking a break for a few days for my annual pre-thanksgiving vacation to Wisconsin Dells! -
Really nice chip. the value study look good. keep it up
-
really like the value and the dude landing.
-
Back from vacation and got the local color down. Next step shadows, but before I start on that any tweaks to the local color? -
@Chip-Valecek you need to darken the values of the snow if you want this to look like a night scene. There is far too much contrast at the horizon and the rooftop.
-
@seanwelty
here is an updated version. Once I start to lay in the next step of shadows it will get darker. What do you think? -
I'd only say that the elf's pants by the brown door need be a little different in tone. Can't wait to see more!
-
@Chip-Valecek better, but I think you can take it further. Plus think cooler colors in the blue and blue-violet range.
-
@seanwelty yes i will be using blues on a multiple layer to add shadows which will cool it down. Thanks for the input.
-
Here is my final piece, lots of fun to work on and thanks for all the great feedback along the way! -
Great lighting! I love the moon and Northern lights!
-
@Chip-Valecek - Nice job - I really like the northern lights added in there! My favorite part is still the look on the face of the lead elf as he is crash landing into the snow! That is a lot of fun. Great job and good luck!
