MQ or HQ? Please rate this clean

[plastik]

Right.. I know a few of you might be pissed off on the fact that I've decided to scanlate/clean Naruto.. but here goes..


Original Raw:

Cleaned Page:

My reason for asking for feedback on this is because if it is good enough, I'll be cleaning the rest of the 431 release exactly this way

Looks MQ, the grays look a little messy, you didn't redraw where it was needed and the borders look a little sloppy.

 

[Obxist]

Definitely MQ...

1. You didn't redraw all of pain's head
2. There's still a lot of dirt (some jpg artifact, perhaps this is because you save it as jpg)
3. speed motion line need more white..
4. Borders

overall MQ. nice

Be sure to burn *everything*. You forgot the Naruto logo at the top, a single bit of black that isn't burnt will *stand out*.

Good work anyway, I agree with the others, and say it's a MQ work. Also, if you want another opinion, do a page with some grays on it, grays will make or break the quality which you want for your release.

Yup MQ but it's still a good work.

Make sure when doing borders that anti-alias is turned off, unless they're diagonal borders which it looks better when it's on.

Or just use a pencil instead of a brush to redraw.

While this does rate a very solid MQ, could you give us an idea of the process you used? We can help you work on it and find a way to tweak the performance higher and then to HQ most likely.

Actually I did spend quite a lot of time on this (about 3 days) but I guess the quality is just not up to the standard.

- Just leveled the page, then redid the borders. After that, made groups for all the panels and worked my way on blacks/whites/grays.

- The naruto logo on the top was deliberately not burnt black completely. It was 'brushed' black entirely, but I lowered the opacity, since I thought it looked better that way.

- The little dust was my mistake. I totally forgot about it.

- Borders... I guess they look bad because of the extra whites around the corners making them a bit 'LQ'.. will fix it today.

- The borders were drawn using the Line Tool (not the pencil nor the brush) with an 8px width.

- About redrawing pain's head.. do you mean the one in Panel 2?

- Speed motion lines in Panel 3 were basically a complete black with low opacity. Again, left it a bit dark because it looked kinda cool.. but I guess 'realistic' plays a more important role here

- Gray's in the first panel (Frog bodies, faces, legs) were a tad bit difficult.. especially the first frog starting left (with a fork-type thing in his hand) because the resolution was not too detailed there.

- The other grays were essentially colored gray, redrawn lineart and then film grain filter applied to it.

- Panel 4 pain bodies were filled black. Then re-did lineart (lowered opacity) and worked on a 'White' layer.



*Phew*
So.. now..
- I have to redo borders
- Redraw Pain's head in Panel 2 (right?)
- Fix lineart on grays in Panel 1
- Reduce Speed Motion opacity a tad bit more in Panel 3
- Fix the Naruto Logo (Opacity = 100 = Completely Black)

Anything else?

redo borders on the final height, then it doesn't leave those annoying anti-aliasing lines (or whatever you want to call them)
