Something about the spotlight/stage effect makes the pirates look like they are having that much more fun, and the ninjas that much more out of their normal element.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17579185594957855023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19724155.post-51246837408461569242008-07-27T02:41:00.000-07:002008-07-27T02:41:00.000-07:00Roland: Thanks for your thoughts. I knew when I ...Roland: Thanks for your thoughts. I knew when I started this that there would be people who disagreed with my "improvements." This is totally understandable, because my changes are intended to make the image appeal to a different audience than the original was (you're likely part of a very small, yet valid, audience that the original appeals to).<BR/><BR/>As for Loomis and Creative Illustration, I'm going to be applying his principles to this image as I push it further---I'm certainly not going to just paint over the old drawing like I've done here. I plan to carefully reconsider the placement of every character, limb, and prop to make the composition work. The purpose of this 5-minute, muddy lighting scheme studies is to provide some context for the decisions I'll be making with the composition as I go further.Sam Nielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202942576576063110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19724155.post-35609779103923954112008-07-27T00:47:00.000-07:002008-07-27T00:47:00.000-07:00The composition was much stronger in the original ...The composition was much stronger in the original drawing. Also your tonal values have got confused in the transition to colour. Not that i'm a genius or anything.

Sort of crazy, actually. That's pretty cool, something I should take advantage of later. :)<BR/><BR/>Adam: I've thought about multi-colored lights too. I wonder if there's a way I could do it without making it seem like the "Cabing Fever" sequence in the muppets all over again, though? Maybe if I could make it feel natural somehow.Sam Nielsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14202942576576063110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19724155.post-73573502930496245482008-07-26T16:43:00.000-07:002008-07-26T16:43:00.000-07:00Maybe they could have their hands tied together li...Maybe they could have their hands tied together like in Michael Jackson's "Beat It".
