Rhapsody-Girly and H|F

[H|F]

lol ok! I understand. I would totally dither but I dont want to add it to any of the other elements so it looks odd? Any ideas? Maybe my colors aren't right?

[Rhapsody-Girly]

here, I had to open it up to figure out a way to smooth it out xD



First of, I adjusts the highlights, the 3rd from the bottom was to thin and to long to match with the other ones well, then I brought the shadows up further, and then added a 3rd layer of shadows from the pallet you already had, then to make it even smoother I added a darkest shadow taken from the lineart of the skin xD;; I didn't do a perfect job with it but it gets the idea down.

but anyways what I am trying to show is, they less open space of a color there is between the transactions from one color to the next as you get darker the smoother the whole thing looks


...
by the way, sorry if my c/c sounds harsh, all in all, I think it looks great, i'm just knit picking out every flaw and trying to teach you ways to fix them ^^;

idk how does that look? Also, I had an extra color I realized I didn't need.

[Rhapsody-Girly]

I would suggest bringing up that 3rd from the bottom highlight probably 4 or 5 more pixels, but that aside I think it looks great

[H|F]

is that better?


And I have to ask.... after staring at this for so long.
Would it look better like this.

[Rhapsody-Girly]

i'f bring the shadows up a little bit on that one part but after that I don't notice anything else

I personally prefer the wide hipped version, this is a very stylized doll and it looks strange with the narrower hips

[H|F]

Ahh, ok so I am not going to work on this for a bit. Need a break! Would love it if you would help me get out of my artist block on this.




I have two colors for her dress. I don't know which looks better!

[Rhapsody-Girly]

I personally like the green more, though it looks a bit unbalanced, perhaps you could add a small hair clip?
