Hey there! I'm gonna be doing a few tests to really nail the style for Sabbath Buster before I start inking pages, so this will technically be Patron Exclusive content! Im open to criticisms during this stage, but Im gonna state my likes and dislikes with each panel test I do, starting off with this one!
NOTES TO KEEP :
+ The use of limited, dedicated colors to compliment primarily monochromatic panels.
+ BGS with slight RGB Distortion to bring focus to the foreground
+ Smoothed and Tones edges on the shading in some areas, primarily combined together
NOTES TO DITCH :
- Despite having only a few shades of black/grey, things still oook cluttered, mostly because of having certain parts be filled in
- Shading seems to be too much, Less is more
- BGs primarily seem less detailed, It looks lazy and uninteresting
NOTES FOR NEXT ATTEMPT :
= Try to replicate the effect of 2-4 main colors on a panel to make each part stand out more.
= Put a bit more detail into the Linework/posing to make things pop without the multiple colors
= Keep shading to a minimum, and dont black out the BG too much
= Try to make the BGS pop out more, without detracting interest from the FG (Exceptions in some cases)
I think I'll try to whip up another, smaller one tomorrow, leave some feedback if you got it!
