A Question Of Color(s)

(1/3) > >>

saturnine1979:
So I'm planning to do this comic series. I've got a lot of story written out, and characters done, but I'm tinkering with the coloring.

My question is... abstract color (colors I've picked) or found/asbstract color (more natural/realistic).

The first I feel is a little more cartoony, while the second has more mood. I'm not sure which is more effective for the story (and I guess neither do you, since you aren't privy)... so my question for you guys is which do you find more aesthetically pleasing?

Comments/Critiques on color are appreciated, as are any other critiques.

MilkmanDan:
Go with the mood lighting. Everyone loves mood lighting.
Also, make the site play a MIDI version of 'Let's Get it On'. You know it makes sense.

Jarne:
Damn. Both look great. I like the second one a bit more though, but it all depends on the overall mood.

Stifled Dreams:
Ok, I know you aren't asking this, but your art looks great. PM me when the comic's up on a website, eh?

The second, though. If you are doing a layout with panels in a page (like the strip Copper, if you're familiar with it) then I'd advise you to go with the first one for most panels and the second one for certain panels. Just an opinion.

Merkava:
I always preferred colors like the second one. I just like the down-to-earth nature of it. It's soft and doesn't get hard on the eyes.
