I started working on this when the chapter came out, but it soon went down the drain and I left it (the lines weren't clean enough) However I picked it up again and I think I salvaged it nicely.

This work like all other things took quite a while, I also put a lot of work into the houses and such but in the end I had to darken it or it didn't look like it was night, so a lot of that work was lost :p
The of light coming from the windows is a straight rip off from googlez_kun ;)

Let me know what you guys think!

Great job!

Personally, I think some colors are too saturated and others are too dark in some places, but you got the essence of a "night scene" really well.

Well done! =D

Good job sam :)

The reflection of the moon onto the kyuubi is really good, but the kyuubi is orange and not red, which is one of the only bad points I have.

Well,you didn't only copy the windowlight,but also most of the shades,but nevermind that.I guess it's excusable,as the lightsource is quite clear in this one...

Anyways,i like how you did the moon and that you made the sky brighter with the light under the moon.

However i sorta dislike how saturated and colorful everything is.First of all,that "colorful theme" does not really match with the dangerous situation.I guess,though,that it could've been kinda powerful with that contrast,but here comes the oversaturated colorsheme.It doesn't really give me the night feeling,even with the support of the moon.
I like how you approached the Kyuubi by making it dominate the picture and have it glow on the village to kind of affect it.I think it's a bit too much,though.Not only isn't it Kyuubi's true color,but it's too saturated as well.

You put a lot of time into it and i had the same problem with the night feeling,so a lot of the work got lost,that's why i don't want to badmouth your coloring,it's just my opinion and taste.

(Sorry for the long post^^')

Naah, I like long posts :tem

To avoid misunderstandings I did only copy the idea of windowlight. I can assure you not one other thing. I even did most of the work on it before I saw your version.

Yeah I know what you mean about the saturation although I wanted it to look like that I think I overdid it. And I have quite an old screen which has lost its saturation, so when I viewed the image on another screen it did look oversaturated.

You're also right on some of the other things you say, some of the things are because of the lines, they aren't clean so you can never really get what you want, so in the future I'll only use clean pages, even if I have to clean them myself first. Did you notice I removed the Kanji?

Thanks a lot, it was my goal to try and capture that, I'm glad it kind of got across :D

Thanks :), yeah I noticed that too after I was done, I might edit the image if it looks right.
