What else should I do with the colors?

I'm not sure.

It's just not very interesting. I'm not sure it's something that can be remedied with color without making it look hideous.

I wanna make Mina creamy for me.

The blue seems too saturated for this image. I think that's the right description. it makes some of the yellows look greeny, and it might be nice if you chose a color that brought out the warm tones in her skin.

I'm not sure i dig the bold white highlight on her skin, it doesn't seem to fit the reast of the coloring. It looks like marker where as the rest looks wartercolor-ish. i think the softer transition between values and colors is nicer and looks good with the sketch.

See I think you have a good thing going here, but as Page Boy mentioned, that highlighting on the skin doesn't work well with this kind of picture. I mean it was the first thing I looked at and I think you probably want to move the viewers attention to the whole body,


Her posture is nice, I like the pose, and good job with the hands :D

But perhaps do a bit more...shading at the back of the head where the hair is.. (if that makes sense) And I like the top part of er outfit's color, but then after that is seems too 'solid' for the rest of the picture.


It seems theres just a lot of different color's going on and I think having on stable color throws it off a bit. I like her hair, and over all I like the picture :3

But I'd have to say right now atleast get rid of the highlight in her skin, it doesn't work to well it takes away other features of the picture. xO


I dunno can you scan it? and mess with different colors on the computer?

The colors are totally digital.

Maybe I've got to add some "things" to make this a lil' more interessin'...

I promised Mina that this'd look the bomb-diggity.

Less blue. Easily done. It's what Mina wants.

You made Mina cry Taters, Ico!

it kind of... like... BLAMMO.
i think it's the high colour contrast of the background and the girl. you could pull off a bright background like that if the lighting on her reflected it, like that wall could actually just be a sort of light creamy white but for the sun all over it but then the lighting isn't consistent.
which would still be true if the background weren't so bright, because the colouring style seems to sort of go through a couple weird spazms on her, like I AM DIGITAL no i'm not I AM SHINY except not right here WOOSH
which i admit doesn't make a whole lot of sense.


i think instead of saying all that i'll say that i think you ought to pick a style and stick to it, and pick a lighting source/colour and stick to that, too.

It's still linked in there because I'm too lazy to change it.

Maybe more "Unf" indeed. I think you mean "Oomf." Or however it's onomonopia-ed.

I think I'll do that thing where you paint completely on top of the lines or something.

Definately thinking about some kinda design of sorts...got any in mind?
