Riiiight, so yeah I made something 'simple'

[The Witch]

I know I'm gonna get a bunch of "it's simple" and all that jazz, but that's the point of this gfx piece. I wanted to try and do as pretty and different of lighting as I could.

Here's the original image:

and here's what I did to it, using all freehand lighting(meaning I wasn't using a PSD or a tut... so if it blows well yeah, that's why )

It was a bust to do but I thought it came out pretty decent. Anyway, I made this looking for some constructive feedback because I went five months without making gfx and I got really really rusty.

It's not THAT bad, god damn.

I made something very similar to this yesterday, but I ended up deleting it.

What do you mean by "freehand" lighting?

 

[The Witch]

Usually people follow tuts/PSDs... or at least the folks I hang out with at GFX forums do. Just--never mind, it's too hard to explain and I'm obviously too ill to get out a comprehensible sentence

*kicks self*

I like it. It actually looks like that your version should be the original.

The lighting you did is superb.

Yea I like the lighting. The image now looks soft and elegant. Strictly speaking in terms of lighting techniques alone, you did great

Sometimes simplicity is all you need..if it's done right, that is. I've noticed some people that i know on other sites, they just do it too simple. I think you did it the right way, Cali. Like Raul said, you put your own spin on it. Nicely done ^^

Thanks you guys!! ♥ I'm glad to hear I didn't fall flat on my face with it
