I'm changing my design. Trying to get out of my comfort zone :I

Yeah, water, and working on a nice, saturated palette.

JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WAS BITCHING MY WAY OUT OF THIS
![[Image: RedeemMe.png]](http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z36/oB2KoMario/RedeemMe.png)
blamo
I'm fairly certain I just broke about four of my comfort zones while doing this
and I'm not sure how I want to shade the dark parts of the clouds so I left it as is until I get some crits on this~
really, I was aiming for something a bit more abstract; I think I nailed this.
Also my dithering job didn't suck this time!!! I'm actually really happy about this~
also 101 32 11 colors. I can probably trim down the number of colors a little more, but I was aiming for 11~
*hopefully* I can submit the final piece by tomorrow. I just need to extend the thing vertically since it's about two pixels short of the minimum, but besides that I just want to get some comments and crits before I can finally say "I'm done"

There are some serious readability issues going on in here.
RE: TUGS - Round 1 - Intermediate WIP Thread - Rosencrantz - 09-09-2010
Yeah, that was actually one of the things I was having difficulty with
I'm going to play around with it a bit more and try to make everything a bit easier to see. But I'm not sure if it's just the palette itself or if I need to redraw or at least reshade most of it :/
I'll probably do both anyway, haha
but I'll try to fix it all up before I submit it
RE: TUGS - Round 1 - Intermediate WIP Thread - Vic - 09-09-2010
it's those weird star thingies that cause most of the readability issues
they're all over the place and I honestly have no idea what purpose they serve right now.
RE: TUGS - Round 1 - Intermediate WIP Thread - Rosencrantz - 09-09-2010
They were meant to be people
but apparently I didn't pull that off properly if that wasn't obvious !!
Oh well; I'll scrap that, since they didn't turn out the way I wanted them to : (

Here's my simpler one

I still don't have the energy for this.

Still WIP obliviously
I'm quite happy of this so far :]

started over. or not. i dont even know anymore.

that looks a lot better than the one I saw on skype; the teal outline and brigher colors on the foreground draw your eye to it and it creates a more interesting contrast between foreground and background

Actually it's pretty clear that they're people imo. It's just that there are a few too many, and too many abstract blobs in between. Maybe make the stars that aren't people a darker shade, so they don't stand out as mucvh.

In case I'm not happy with the aurora yet
RE: TUGS - Round 1 - Intermediate WIP Thread - Badassbill - 09-10-2010
Nice technique, but the original still works better.
RE: TUGS - Round 1 - Intermediate WIP Thread - Gors - 09-10-2010
I'll try fusing this technique with the older, then
I like the visual effect of this one and the wavyness of the first
