More color! It looks good, but it looks off for some reason. Probably the colors I picked for the shadow and lighting? Maybe I should have used a darker red for shadow instead of green.

Made a tiny Flash movie for my Comm Tech class. Of a mining dwarf, of course. And he encounters magma, and a tragic end. All in sixty frames.

There's also a sound of mining.

Hmm, this gives me an idea. Make the DF opening movie - in Flash!

I think you should have, yeah. It looks a bit odd.

Ayup, shadow colour is based on the material that's in the shadow as well as the light source casting said shadow. Your light seems to be some sort of very pale blue? So a cool light, which means the shadows should be a nice red, desaturated to the point of just being warm enough but otherwise leaving most of the saturation to the bits in lit up by ambient light, and again, very little saturation on the bits directly hit by the light.

Anyways, after a long while, something painted for myself, have Barbatos:

I don't watch enough (hardly any) mecha animus  to know the reference, but I like the variation of detail used to focus attention on the facey-bits.


And, as promised, I have more texture/dissections.

Chrome was a disaster, but I'm fairly satisfied with the rest.

That's not actually ASCII art though.

Wait, those aren't both asterisks...

*facepalm*

Curse you, eyesight!

It's not that bad, though.

I don't know any tutorials or really good hints, but if you get a great colourscheme before, and stay with it a lot, your work will look better whatever letters of ASCII you use.

With colours, using less is better, sometimes.

Nice! Love the way the light reflects off the V-Fin

I redid the shadows on the tech-priest. Hopefully this is better.

Certainly looks a lot more dynamic! It does look like they're turning from the perspective of the viewer. The arms look a little wonky in that light; maybe you could apply some foreshortening?

Otherwise I like it. Makes me think of graffiti on a wall. Biomechanical people come up a lot in your art, don't they? Sort of a running theme.
