just started a comic I'm calling rubedo
i haven't even finished the character designs yet
anyways this is my front cover
the moonlight that's the main light source is a red glow
a pool of crimson blood
so i need some help with what colours would go well with the rest
using bright red with dark colours is dynamic i know
but since the light source is red id rather avoid it looking retarded
anyway he had brown hair and eyes when he got dressed
but after getting attacked his hair and eyes turned red
mm yeah and just some basic critique

The moon could look a little more moon-like... like, having craters and such... Google Image search seems to be broken right now... I dunno, I assume you know what I mean. Perhaps a very light circle around the moon (the glow) could also be added.

The art looks very good. The hand holding the cellphone seems to be bigger than the other hand, though.
