Cheeks Week 8 - Color

Description

SO. This is my piece for the color portion of this week.

I'm not sure what Sean is going to say about this one. Sean took us through his color schemes, and while I think it works for him, my coloring is really different. He likes to use saturation to focus on characters, but I do other things!

My thought process here is that since the disguised Rodian Jedi "Pointy", as he's affectionately been nicknamed, is on the seedy underworld moon Nar Shaadda. It's filled with lot's of bright neon-type lights, and destaturating the background simply wasn't working. So I let the lights tell the story. The building lights, highlights, hologram, and stroke around Pointy help the eye to keep moving around the piece. I also refrained from the use of texture and noise on Pointy to help him pop out a bit more. Finally, I did my best to keep the composition circular so that the eye wouldn't get too stuck. And YES, that's a wanted poster for fellow Jedi-on-the-run, Peil! While I still think this panel needs a little work, I have to throw in the towel for now and move on to background 3.

Wait, who's that on the comm?

I like this piece a lot. It really shows the essence of the Coruscant underground, and everything you said about it in the description was achieved perfectly.
Ever done any photography? It looks to me as though you would do very well behind a camera.
