Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
Yeah the white lines were bothering me too xD It was supposed to be a lazy way of adding shine, but it clearly didn't work out very well @____@;LupisDarkmoon wrote:Aaaah, much better! My only issue with the previous ones (which I only realized recently) was that the weird white border each scale had made them look kind of odd- this one avoids that nicely and adds a much nicer, subtler shine to each scale. I think it looks especially good on those darker/more colorful dragons.
Thank you! ;D I'm glad to see I didn't make it worse xD

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
These are going to be the death of me. Ugh.
Druidish Ridge male. Not sure if I want to keep the flowers on there or just have it be vines/roots. Flowers aren't very fitting for most males.
Thoughts?

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
True. I was trying my best not to use the blur or anything. I'll mess around with it some more and prob just remove the flowers all together xDMeggers wrote:I don't really like the flowers one, maybe its the style its done in. Looks reallllllly different from FR style. A bit too painted on? If that makes sense?

I'm glad you like the scales! ;D! That makes me quite happy to see it's not terrible. :3

Re: Trying my hand at skins and accents. Thoughts/advice?
Yeah. I'll sharpen it and see if I can get it a bit more realistic instead of looking like puffy paints xD! That's all I really see it as right now o3oMeggers wrote:I think the flowers/vines are fine (I guess I mean't all of it not just the flowers) just maybe find a way to sharpen them up?

Sharpened the vines a bit. Not sure if it looks less puffypaint like or not. I'm just unsure about what I can do with it to make it work D: Aside from trying to cut out pictures of vines from google or something. Rofl.

I like this version the best.Bowno wrote:Okay I'm so so sorry for all this spammage. Rofl.
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 ;.;
