One of these days I should really make a movie that has a point.

Or one that is actually funny.

This picture is something I did about a week ago, but it doesn't feel finished. Any ideas on what may improve or "complete" the picture would be really helpful.

the problem of it feeling unfinished is the vector art on top of the non-vector photo. hey're not mixing together very well. vector world should stay seperate from the real one. heh

There's so much love in this forum <3

Thanks for critique. Do you think it would look better if I vectorised the photograph then?

rtil · April 15, 2007 04:54 PM

it's possible, or maybe vectored over it so you could still see a little bit of the texture of the board and all that jazz. cuz i know vectoring all that would take a little time.

I say leave it un-vectored. I think it looks pretty good. You took the lighting down in the picture which makes the vector work pretty well. You could strengthen up the value on the character, more darks, but other than that, I think it looks fine with it in a raster photo. Nice job!

ok guys im leaving FOREVER im not comin back this time and you can't change my mind either!!!!

ok I'm back now

Slick · April 15, 2007 08:42 PM

Okay thanks guys :] I'll try strengthening the contrasts in the characters and see how that looks RobjaFalu and I'll test out what you said rtil in a few places, if it looks good then I'll do the rest but I think it might take a bit too long.

EDIT

Thought I'd just edit this than post the image in a new reply. I changed the contrast a bit and also desaturated the photo. I then used a pink gradient so the colours are more monotone. I'm not sure if it's better or worse but I'll let you guys decide.
