Aaren Color Practice

I can really let the rendering get away from me sometimes. One of these renders went WAY faster (granted, I had done it several times by that point, but still). It's often true that less is more, but it's hard to hold myself to that sometimes.

So which version do you like better? The elaborate shading or the simpler cel-shaded style?

The first/elaborate shading is nicer. Does it take much longer to do?

Cap E. Bara

First image of the two. As they all keep telling me when painting miniatures "Higher highlights, deeper shadows."

Grumpy Guy

You do, and I'm a fan of those! It could be part of where that association came into my brain.

Ben

I'm with the majority of other comments. The elaborate shading is my favorite.

Lucien Nailo

I like the elaborate shading better

Paqs

I think the highlights on Aaren's skin and weapon are best int he first pic, but the more subdued clothing works better from the second, more like cloth than leather.

Lord of Nightmares

Ha. I might want to change up the rendering on that cheek. Again.

Garth Graham

I like the cel shade, but they both look great. It's really just preference.

Hydra Bomb

I mean, I do make webcomics. XD

The elaborate version looks better on close examination, but at first look, I asked "where did she get the black eye?"

Aaron Bredon

I like the first one better.

Josh Stories

As a stand alone piece I prefer the first one. The second one looks more "web comic" to me.

Ben

The first as there looks to be more definition to the top layer of clothing. In the second it all blends together.
