Suspender Suspense~
It is lacking of shading. XD

Pistachio_Moustache 08-21-2014 07:48 PM

Well, I know that.
xD

It's missing shading and highlighting, because I just started and haven't had time.
:D

Suspender on female base is tooo straight.
Remember female have curvy body. sexeh!

Pistachio_Moustache 08-25-2014 11:23 PM

Well, I figure I would make it unisex, and actually, the suspenders tend to sit straight on small breasted females.
The breasts aren't that large on the avatars, so it would lay pretty straight.

But I will make a female version and see if it looks better.
xD

I might need to make the highlight pink instead.

Pistachio_Moustache 08-27-2014 02:10 PM

Another update~

I didn't like the pink highlight, so I went with white.
I moved the highlight, and moved the suspenders up a bit to fit better.

I love what you're doing but the boob is all wonky. I'm no help at all... and I know you know - but I'm here to support you - not bring you down... I'm in love with these suspenders. Go PiM!

Pistachio_Moustache 08-27-2014 03:27 PM

The boob is all wonky because I moved the suspenders.
I noticed it. I need to fix it.
xD
I don't have time right now. Probably after work, I can fix it.


---------- Post added 08-27-2014 at 03:11 PM ----------

Wonky no more!

I moved the highlight again, and tried for a more natural colour.
xuvrette: Penella Goldeater: Feedback?

Pistachio_Moustache 08-28-2014 09:20 PM

So, I've decided I'm going to work on a phoenix next.
:D
Dystopia: ;D

Whoo! Best day EVER.

Sorry for the late reply, I DID saw your post few days ago, but I am kinda... distracted/busy to post a detail comment.

Your suspender. The highlight is too contrast. Did you use the Menewsha color palette?
It is not compulsory to use them, but they are good guides in terms of the range of color to use.

I can take the highlight off, and yes, I did use the Mene colour palette.
I was unsure about it, and wanted to take it off, but I wanted a second opinion of it.

sjacklene 08-30-2014 10:19 PM

This is a great try. The shading is a bit off and the color palette is displeasing. Not that the color choice is bad, I like the red, I mean the overall palette changes.

Also, the curving of the body(ie: the boobs) will also change how the suspenders will be shaded in that area because the way the light hits it will be different in that area.

If I would pixel shade like you have here, I usually do my shading part with contrasting colors and I don't even use my palette at this point. It might seem strange but I can see where I need more darker shading here, lighter there, ETC.

Pistachio_Moustache 08-30-2014 10:24 PM

Okay, thank you for your feedback~!
I'm very new to this, so I do see what you are talking about now.
I will make some changes and update.

...These reference photos are not helping.
:/

Penella Goldeater 08-31-2014 08:08 AM

I wish I could offer more assistance - but I'm just impressed with the idea and that you're doing it.

I like the red, a lot. I'd also like to see other colors. ALL THE COLORS.
You don't have to do all the colors.

Pistachio_Moustache 08-31-2014 10:50 PM

I want to do ALL THE COLOURS

I started with red because it's a classic colour for suspenders.

linapoo 09-21-2014 10:54 PM

Ohhh! suspenders. I also tried awhile back but I went the more defined route. Maybe we can combine our powers and unite to become the ultimate Saiyan....whut...hahah

Ignore the far right...

Anyway, I love the shape you have. But the highlight throws it off. Have you tried highlighting the edges instead of across? It might help to darken the outline that is away from the light source too. Right now, it seems too smooth and not pixely which doesn't look right with Menes style.

Pistachio_Moustache 09-22-2014 02:37 PM

Well, I was looking at the clothes, and they don't seem pixel-y at all.
I now have a new tablet, so I will try again.

linapoo 09-25-2014 11:04 PM

Really? XD I think they do. At least in comparison to tool-shaded pixels.
Especially the belts, headwear, gloves, etc..the smaller stuff.

Though, I can understand what you're saying.
Bigger items that have more room to be blended and given smooth edges definitely look less pixelated than the smaller items. [yes]

Pistachio_Moustache 06-12-2015 12:50 PM

Omg, it's been a while. I haven't touched the suspenders since September. Dx
Maybe I should try to finish them.

But, I have been working on a book!
Of course, it's a WIP, I need to work on the shading and highlighting possibly.
The line work still needs work.
I'm using my own colours, shame on me. xD
