I think the body (particularly lower body is a little bit lighter shade than the environment). Since the beach is more of a daytime visual, it makes it seem a darker daytime as opposed to the subject being lighter in my opinion.

ooo how interesting, I'll see what I can do with that one. The background is supposed to be of a much lighter than a very dark, I'm not sure how it occurred to be like that so I'm stuck with it until I figured what I've done to prevent that.

@Eggcyler so cool to see your process! Had a chuckle at BRB :).

@Eggcyler I love me a good timelapse!

Thanks guys! I do love to make them whenever I feel confident, eheh.

I think it comes down to taking inventory of the scene. And just playing with the principals of design.
A couple quick notes
1. The character is generally dark color complexion. Which gives references to what is a dark hue.
2. The background is high detail and the foreground is minimally rendered in comparison.
3. The subject is the focus but the background pops.

When I used to paint landscapes, I would spent 30 minutes or so mixing colors and marking the canvas color. It's not supposed to be an easy thing to catch in 1 or 2 passes as much as it's holistically adjusting as the imagine develops from my experience.

Continuing the mission. Mig is having great fun giving suggestions so today is Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic.

I'm thinking... can we just add lines wherever we want? Uhhhhh yeah, let's.

They certainly don't hurt the action scene. Exciting look!

Just Finished the first question now moving to the next UwU

[Legendofgenii]

Oooo! Love the perspective and special effects on this.

[migxmeg]

Thank you! No such thing as too much glowing stuff .

[CosmicLeon]

Voi!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can do that actually. Though have switched to light poi because it's less bulky. I actually has a korra cosplay were I decided to learn some basic voi (veil poi) to waterbend.

[migxmeg]

That sounds so cool!!! Now I'm going to be googling bending props

[CosmicLeon]

Yeah so there it light poi, contact poi, tail poi, contact staff, fire fans, light whips and devil sticks. They are all really cool.

[MerrowBros]

Shapes!
(and also colors)

Just a brief change of pace.

[migxmeg]

I try to keep it pretty chill with not judging myself for how I spend my drawing time... think I crossed some line here though .

Guess I should clarify - this is Spice & Wolf mashed up with our ocs >:).

[LCT_m_a_d]

hey, drawing time is the only time you can make this kind of stuff.

I actually love this pic so much

[migxmeg]

Haha, true... and I never want it to stop being fun either. Thanks XD.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Haven't done a full color illustration in a long while. Really love how this turned out. 'Specially that background.
