BEAT 'EM UP

yes, the contrast of the eyes and the glass is better

[Medevenx]

Sorry but still not reading it. You had to tell me what it is before I can say myself what that is.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

then what do you suggest i do to make it more readable?

Either make them have visible frames or make them all white. Those thin lines with only little contrast to her skin tone you have now are hardly visible.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

i'm kind of worried that this whole limited-palette thing is going to bite me in the ass eventually. oh well, i tried, anyway.

right now, i'm not personally satisfied with the look of the spectacles, but i can't make them all white because they're right up against the eyes and the eyes are white. it'd just be a big blob of indistinguishable white.

[alexmach1]

even if it sucks, at least i can die knowing i helped a little.

[Crappy Blue Luigi]

those spectacles look a hell of a lot better, but i can't say i like what you did with the eyes. i want her eyes to be mostly closed, to give her a sort of "sly" or "devious" look.


how's this for a compromise?
