At long last, I've finished the second request from Cue1* - this one is a signature following the same paintball theme of the first. I've been playing around with different brushes for the background, and settled on a more cross-hatched style for the sky rather than the feather-blended that I normally favor. I also had a lot of fun with his name, which I tried to make look a bit like splattered paint (since the theme is 'paintball' lol). The bright red is to balance the heavy imagery on the right, and then I also pulled out some more greens in this image (underbrush and jackets) to complement the red. Like the first image, I tried to keep the color palette very dark with high contrast. Since the image is supposed to be on a grey background, I threw it up in grey here, although (like all of my images) the background is actually transparent and hence will merely pick up the grey of whatever forums it ends up on.
Onwards to the next! I've actually got lots of pieces partially completed, but nothing to the point where I'm ready to put up links for everyone. I know it's very slow-going here, but I am steadily working through it all while trying not to rush any one piece.
Tootles! o/ 'till next time.
Also - if anyone has feedback or suggestions as to how to re-edit these images to improve them, I'm all ears. Fonts are something I struggle a lot with as well - I have the style I normally write in, and it's hard to remember to break out from what comes naturally. Anyways, comments/suggestions/criticisms are all welcome =)
