Thank you! The second one is supposed to be based off a snow leopard! Hopefully when I try again I can make it a little more realistic xD

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
xD Pff. Yeah I'm using a blur for it. I was trying my best NOT to use it, but @_@ I wanted the colors to mix instead of just stacking on top of each other. So other than making the blacks lighter.. I should use darker browns and such to shade with? o3o Or... Uh. Am I not understanding correctly? XDAeladrine wrote:It's certainly not bad. But I do have a suggestion. It looks as though you're using some kind of blur tool to shade? Especially in the brown and black areas (and I'd lighten up the tips of the black; I think it's too dark for the rules). Harder shading would be better, or just blending without a tool like that.

Basically, don't use the blur tool to shade. Use colour theory, instead.(:

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
I'll give that a try! Sounds tough, but it also sounds like it would make things look amazing. Thank you for the tips! I'll try it after work tomorrow xDAeladrine wrote:Well, you want to move around the colour wheel. For example, I use reds that are slightly darker and more saturated than the peach equivalent to shade caucasian skin (and the same goes for other skin colours, just at different places on the wheel). So take your starting brown, move it to the right a bit on the colour wheel, and make it darker and more saturated. as you get darker in your shading, move further to the right and make it more dark/saturated. Continue until satisfied!

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
What do you guys think? Is this upload/sell worthy yet? XD Turned the Opacity down to around 50%.

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
Oh wait wait wait.
So I tried blurring now. It looks nice on black and white.. But colors I'm not too sure...
So should I keep the blur or use the other version? XD

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
That is a good point! Maybe blurred isn't as bad as I thought, then.LupisDarkmoon wrote:Hmm, I think I actually like the last version (blurred) the best- so many scale pattern accents I see are super distracting, but that one is subtle enough that you can imagine the scales without it taking away from the dragon's patterns/colors. I like it!
Thank you for your input!

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
BUT THESE ONES.
I really like these ones. I went through and added some shine to EACH scale individually. But when I tried the skin on a white Mirror, I couldn't see it. SOOO~ I inverted the shine! They still look really good IMO though o3o
I need opinions again! Even if you don't know what you're talking about! XD A simple "That sucks" or "I like it" is SUPER helpful too!
Also, thank you EVERYONE that has offered me advice so far! You guys rock ;.;
