The coloring is good but the shading is WAYYY too harsh. They look like walking skeletons.TazManiac wrote:Here's an example of fan-coloring I came across on Deviant-Art...

At the time that was posted in the comments section, Nudge hadn't been given a canonical color scheme. Somewhere in my archives I have a coupla-three color studies on her where two of them were a grey stripe tabby and an orange tabby...lake_wrangler wrote:Apart from the wrong colors being used for Nudge (I forget her fur color, but I'm pretty sure the face markings/tattoos/whatever they're called are blue...), that is some impressive coloring and shading.
Care to share? Or were they already in the fanart thread, somewhere? (If so, linky linky, please?)Jabberwonky wrote:At the time that was posted in the comments section, Nudge hadn't been given a canonical color scheme.

I guess I should have qualified my earlier statement: I find the shading to be done well, except for the faces... Too much emphasis on the cheek bones, which does indeed make them either look weird (Bud and Shelly), or downright gaunt (Connie and Monica. Especially, Monica...) But the rest of the shading is impeccable, as far as I'm concerned.shadowinthelight wrote: The coloring is good but the shading is WAYYY too harsh. They look like walking skeletons.
I'll have to go deep into my archives, if I still have them somewhere. Might be a project to recreate them...lake_wrangler wrote:Care to share? Or were they already in the fanart thread, somewhere?

Why am I suddenly feeling the need to have Nudge called "Kitty?"Jabberwonky wrote:I'll have to go deep into my archives, if I still have them somewhere.

Re-looking I find, for myself, that the colorist has illuminated everything from the bottom up, as if they are standing on florescent linoleum...lake_wrangler wrote:I guess I should have qualified my earlier statement: I find the shading to be done well, except for the faces...

Well, not quite everything. In fact, I wouldn't say from the bottom, in most cases, but definitely not consistent on the light source:TazManiac wrote:Re-looking I find, for myself, that the colorist has illuminated everything from the bottom up, as if they are standing on florescent linoleum...lake_wrangler wrote:I guess I should have qualified my earlier statement: I find the shading to be done well, except for the faces...

Yep. Looking it over once just isn't enough, nor is only one pair of eyes!GlytchMeister wrote:Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the evolution of the artistic critique.
