Working on finishing OLD projects.
 
Wonderful Proj.

The new Proj's more colorful than the old one.It fits the fantastic subjects and i like your way of using the colors although it's not very realistic but more fantastic.
Thank you for your working.

Hey Proj, another good one.

I'm not totally sure what blueberserk's getting at but for me, I think the only glaring problem is the uniformity in texture. The pitfall of that soft airbrushed look is that everything can have that metallic sheen. Everything from the clothes, skin, rock, wood seems to have the same level texture. And with that many highlights it can be hard to pick out a focal point. I think Guts skin, in particular could stand to lose a bit of that gloss (while Shierke's could use some warming up, as she looks a bit pale). Also note that the wall of the city seems too flat (where's the hightlight/shadows on rock)?

Keep in mind the lighting is that of a sunrise, so I think that may be why you're thinking its fantastical.

Just as a side note, keep in mind you're telling a story on this page. There's no dialogue so colors can help. Imagine if its pre-dawn in the first panel with most of the elves generating the light and the next two panels are the sun beginning to hit Guts' face. The rest of the page would say as is. That would set up the spread with Griffith coming up on the next page. Not a requirement but just a suggestion.

I can see what you mean. Maybe different style brushes?

Re-worked a few things based on your suggestion. Particularly the lights from the elves. (See Farnese's face.) Darkened up the fisrt panel, highlights on the brick and gave a little more red to Schierke's face. Spanx man.

Varying up the brushes can help. Just a change in brush hardness and a different stroke can give the illusion of texture. So just see what works.

I made another GIF to demonstrate a bit of what I'm talking about. Basically I just pushed what you did a little further. Added a distinctive shadow on Guts' face to give the light direction, made the light emanating from the elves a bit more distinctive in the first panel, etc. Just some changes to the overall lighting. I hope that demonstrates a bit more of what I'm talking about...

Ah, I see what you mean now. I'm a visual learner. ;)
Why can't I just have a CnC Feature in Photoshop. Come to think of it, get on that why don't ya?
My bad about GOW the other night. I passed out.

I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to make a button that will generate a pop-up window that says "Check your LIGHTING!"

Edit: A more toned down version.

This one i was eager to get to, but the crease makes it poopy, so i'll wait until I can get my hands on a better one.

interesting start. I started on the two page spread and managed to fix the crease, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to finish it soon as I've got a whole slew of other work to do.

This journey isn't ov--AARGH!
Very, very nice!

My biggest problem is how the wood in the ship is so bright, but something that minor isn't really an issue compared with how good the rest of it is. Keep it up, Proj!

Berserk is for the life
I love it. :guts:

The colo of Farnese and Schierke in the sky. Good work and continue as that. The colors are beautiful too.

This is perfect.

Just wanted to say, damn Proj, you've really improved over the past 2 years. Looking over your old stuff, vs your new work, you've come a really long way. Your newer work is among some of the best ever posted here.
