--- Quote from: Jesus DeSaad on 22 Sep 2011, 06:46 ---Jeph, if you want to keep drawing outdoor scenes you need to update your characters' colors a bit.
Their coloring remains city-moody, which makes them appear like carton cut-outs when contrasted to the nature around them.
I propose you introduce some single cell highlights on their darker parts of skin and clothes to accompany the single cell shadows.
Not forever, just for the nature scenes. That way you won't have to draw highlights in every comic.
Here's what I mean, I threw this in literally 3 minutes 45 seconds. Select the highlight areas, Hue/Saturation, up the brightness by 20%, up the saturation by 5%. I also added an extra sky blue layer set in normal mode but only at 5% to produce a more uniform color palette all around.
[...]
I think It would really compliment the outdoors scenes.
Just a friendly suggestion, keep up the good work!

-edit- no, not as much brightness as 20%. Try it at 10-15%, in retrospect it works better.

I think the blue filter is actually darkening some of the warmer skin tones, there.

The backgrounds are modeled on real places now? I guess that's why they look so awesome.
akronnick:
They always have been to an extent. It's just that now, the story has moved out of the downtown NoHo area.
Is it cold in here?:
1. Samantha goes over a physical cliff.
2. Padma almost goes over a physical cliff.
3. Padma sends Marten over an emotional cliff
(not that she meant to).
At least Jeph didn't end the week with a cliffhanger.
Maybe instead of reading the whole week we could just have looked at the Cliff Notes.
Kazukagii:
Yeah, it's good thing Jeph didn't leave us all on edge.
