Wallpaper in Progress.. [updated..again..] - please respond :p :)

[donkeyhigh]

Uhm, I know my signature says "Aiming to surpass Dynamic Dragon", and this isn't even close..
Remember, I'm kinda a newb on coloring, and this is my 5th "project", so don't expect too much..
I was actually going to practice like a maniac untill I got better than DD, then post a few images, but I've been so buissy, so no can do..

Then I just really felt like making a wallpapers with my favorite pictures/scene from the manga, so here goes..

Remember, it's in progress

I'd love any feedback, I don't care what you say, if it's a suggestion, that's great, if it's "give up as a colorer", that's even better, then I can rub your face in it when I get really good!

EDIT:

Changed the link.. again.. and of course a few things in the picture.. it's still in progress, but any respond would be great!

EDIT2:

Changed the hair somewhat, hope it's better now..
Updated the Rasengan-part, more quotes regarding the arc, I just love those scenes, with Naruto and Tsunade-sama
Different small things..
I mean, it's not just a coloring, it's supossed to be a wallpaper, so it needs to have the right feeling of the situation, so I used some icons you should remember

Anyway, it's the coloring that's the hard part god damnit.. Hair-coloring sucks

Re: Wallpaper in Progress..

I like it, it's good for a 5th coloring. There are a few things though. The hair, especially Naruto's hair, needs some work. I see where you were trying to go with it... maybe it's not even done yet because it's a work in progress, but yeah. Hair usually is the hardest part... well, for me it was/is. I just read up on a lot of tutorials on how to color hair, then I developed my own style, I suggest you do the same.

Keep practicing though! ^^

Re: Wallpaper in Progress..

I think you've made huge progress since your last one.

Re: Wallpaper in Progress..

looks like you can make something out of this. i think you should work a bit more on naruto's hair though... but considering that tsunade is still b/w, maybe you left it for later... ^^

Re: Wallpaper in Progress..

*pretends I left the hair for later..*

yeah, of course.. pfff... did you really think i was gonna leave it like that?

Re: Wallpaper in Progress.. [updated] - please respond

it looks like you used a grass pattern on Naruto's hair, and changed the hue.

hmmm real amature here....wats wrong with the pic as it stands? shiit i'd use it like that...its coloured already aint it?

Re: Wallpaper in Progress.. [updated] - please respond

The updated version looks a lot better, but ... yet again, the hair... even though Naruto's hair looks straight and spiky, if you look at spiky hair in real life, it is still a little wavy. Same with Tsunade's hair. Just make the hair a little more wavy and keep your light source in mind while you're doing that, and you're good to go ^^ Yeah, hair is always a pain, but keep going at it!

beautiful coloring. The whole setup seems great. Keep going, I have a feeling it will turn out fantastic.

needs way more work...

Re: Wallpaper in Progress.. [updated] - please respond

Yup, don't pay any more attention to this version.. I've redone it several times now, but I won't post any new versions untill there's been done some drastic changes.. ..and/if I can somehow make it look somewhat good..
a bit buissy with work and other things tho' , but I'll make time for it..
wondering it I'm gonna move completely away from cell-shading, and see if there's any other way to color manga and still make it look good
oh well..
this is starting to be more like a training-session for me than a wallpaper, which is good though
but hard as hell too.. hehe, oh well
thanks for all the replies too btw oh, and Vlado, if you have any suggestions on what would be smart to change, please just let me know


This is how it looks at the moment, hope it's moving towards "better"..

Still not nearly done..
I have to figure out a few things, how to make it look like it's in my head

 

[lee-nus]

needs way more work...

perhaps you should be a tad more constructive with your feedback...?

 

[donkeyhigh]

that would be nice

Edit: TheExa told me to change picture, as it never turns out good if you stick with the same picture over a long period of time..
So maby I should just give it a rest..
I can't figure out anything to change any more, so I guess I'll have to come back to it later or something..
