Cowboy Collie Remake
Added 2025-04-09 20:44:23 +0000 UTCWanted to give this idea another shot! For the future solo poll. Do you guys like this one more than the older one (second image)? I’ve been wanting to try more interesting and challenging perspectives so I attempted that here. Let me know if you like the older one more though as I can reuse that one in the poll again.

i totally agree, i reeeeally loved the other ones face so much too. I will definitely try something else for the background im sure I can figure something out :3

2025-04-24 15:03:01 +0000 UTCI like them both - I prefer interesting angles but I also think the color scheme in the second one is more interesting and gives a very different and more engaging feel to the image that is kind of lost in all the cold blue of the mostly-sky version. I'd suggest maybe trying to make the first one even more interesting by giving it a different background and/or lighting? I know you're kind of limited by the angle and by wanting to keep the focus on the character, but it could be anything from a sunset or stormy sky to a barn wall or interior ceiling. Something to bring some warmth back in would be ideal, I think, for a pin-up like this. I also prefer the higher value contrast on the face in the second one, I think bringing back the light reflecting off the black fur would help draw the eye to the face and keep a greater amount of detail centered on the focal point (unless you don't want the focal point to be the face, it just looks like it is right now because it's the most tightly rendered part of the image). I also just think that rendering high contrast black fur is one of your strong points based on the art I've seen so far, so it's good to include it!

2025-04-12 19:26:06 +0000 UTCBecause of the perspective of aiming up at him, consequently there will be a lot less background… however ill see what i can do!

2025-04-10 15:02:39 +0000 UTCThis is my issue too and why I asked for others opinions, both pieces are just completely different vibes. I appreciate your input! Im gonna see what I can do

2025-04-10 15:01:47 +0000 UTCI actually agree with the first post, that there is more storytelling in the older work. However, I LIKE the newer one better. I wonder if there is some way to have more bg in the new one?
