"It's Periwinkle"
🕑 Added 2024-08-14 00:29:08 +0000 UTCHere it is, the final of the long overdue Lois commission. You may notice some coloring and shading changes. Here's why I changed them:
My main problem with my cel shading is that it's too contrasty in situations where it shouldn't be. I do this because I'm following a recipe. I've learned that to make better images I can't be slave to a recipe. I must use my knowledge in tandem with that recipe so that I can make better images. In this case I know that the contrast between light and shadow is determined by the strength of the light source. Bright light sources increase contrast. The light source here isn't bright enough to create shadows that dark.
The second thing I changed was the hue of the shadow. Once again, as a matter of course, I put blue and pink in the shadows, but here's the thing... I should only do that if there is reflected light creating blue and pink. You could say that there's some blue-ish pink coming off of the kryptonite, but if it was enough to affect the shadows then it would be enough to affect the room, and its not. The environment is largely neutral so the shadows should be neutral.
I also added a subtle anime style glow, and redrew a couple of things and adjusted some dialogue. I may make minor adjustments and edit this, but I'd say that this is completely done.
