Isus Cosmic Chronicles Concept Flats

Description

Alright, well, I had some help inking this digitally from :iconcookart456: Some of the coloring and my inking was a little shaky, but I'll fix that in the finished version. Colors done in Adobe Flash CS6, Background done in Illustrator CS6 and the finishing touches were done in Adobe Photoshop CS6. Time spent: About 2-4 hours. This will be the style for MiniNova Cosmic Chronicles, which will be suitable for all ages.

This is a very nicely composed piece. The difference shades in the background contrast nicely with the character making them stand out. I particularly like the typography art with the characters name. Not many people pay much attention to the typography while illustrating. Expressions and weight of the character are nicely executed.

Using the layer drop shadows effects may not be the best way to go. The direction controls don't work very effectively, making the character feel weightless. I'd suggest duplicating your character layer as a whole, flattening it, removing the contrast so it's gray, then transforming the layer to fit your light direction. This way no matter which way the light sources is, you can move it around. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/> Adding a few cell shaded spots on the character will also make the piece really stand out.

Quiet a wonderful composition you've got. You have a way with animal characters. Nice work.
