!Jail break 2
So same theme and character but different BG, i wanted to give the BG a dark feel so i used red for the sky ( similar to the BG's in the batman ) and i darkend the character as well
I like this one better than the previous one. Your first piece bugs me a bit because the nearest jailbreaker's far arm interacts weird with the watch tower behind him (the silhouettes of the two sort of blend into one another).
If I had anything to say about this one it is probably the choice of colours for the building. I'm guessing this is supposed to be a night time escape, I find it a bit odd that the darkest part of the building is also the closest. Maybe the jail is painted differently by floor? In particular that big, dark pillar (not a pillar, but the part that juts out) on the right hand of the page keeps drawing my eye when it shouldn't.
Also it's cool that you're going for 3 point perspective, but it seems you lost it a bit on the top floor of the jail. I think it's partly the wall but mostly the windows. The roof itself could be lower too, though I wouldn't bring the peak of the triangle beneath the cutoff of the top.
Oh just to clarify my last comments. When I mention those windows I mean they're too flat, the verticals should be slanting in like the rest of your lines.
And when I say lower the roof I don't mean lower the wall, just that I think the roof would be more of an upshot. So the horizontal bottom would stay the same but the peak of the triangle would be brought down (but as I say you should keep the tip of the triangle cut off).
Replies: No no, I don't think you need the other character. I just think that pillar is too dark. Maybe make it the colour of the wall directly behind the guy? The Pillar is almost as dark its projected shadow, I think it should be lighter than that. If it's lighter it'll be less distracting. Having empty space in front of the guy is good.
I changed the ship pics so you can actually tell what the hell it is now. Until I learn how to do that "clay render thing" proper like I'll just forget it. And yeah, planning on paper is good. Unfortunately I wasn't really in the drawing mood at the time. And I rarely do finished drawings. Bad.
Nice one, Dan! I checked out that show "Gunsmith Cats" and noticed the similarity haha. I drew a character not long ago that I later realized looked an awful lot like Danny Phantom (quite unintentionally I might add).
I think that happens when you're drawing using a certain philosophy of shapes and proportion. You learn you're not the only one who's doing it lol

Anyway, maybe that helps. Maybe not.

Hmm, I haven't heard the other guys mentioning it. Where is it at? Seattle?

looks like you are working through a
composition problem- always a challenge worth taking
nice work!
I prefer this one for sure.. I love the way how they paint the sky red.. thanks for the good wishes.. cheers!..
I like the atmosphere in this one--dark and devious, that angle adds to it, too! Nice work!!!
