Looks great the text was just a little hard to read other than that awesome!
Yup. Definitely gonna change that font

Everything else looks like its in this dynamic perspective except the character.
It's very true! He does look like he's in a very straight perspective compared to the skull and the rest. Thanks man

@Braden-Hallett I think this one is a great improvement! I love the composition! It looks much more finished and the new font is so much easier to read and seems to fit the style of the art.
-
@Braden-Hallett looks awesome! I have a quick thought - I did a quick draw over to see and I think if the boy is reaching for the jack with his left hand and is looking at the skull instead of the cable in his hand it is much more dramatic and has more of a boy vs. skull vibe and may show more what is about to happen in the story- also making the cool blue lines on the skull pop out slightly more looks good too - feel free to ignore

Post it! Lemme see Because honestly that's a much better idea that what I have!

@Molambo I like! My plan was for the orange thing to be the first read, but this works well too! I like the way the skull pops.
I've gotta learn to be less afraid of colour, lol.
-
@Braden-Hallett ha! I never know if folks cringe at getting a draw over from me or not! This is all I have left of it - there are other things going on that I did not mention .... I was thinking of getting as many lines leading to the face as possible within the composition by adding random panels behind him and also continuing the curves in the energy column to point at him too... thatβs what those arrows are ..the weird white line below his foot is just a mistake
-
@Molambo also, thank you so much for taking the time to do a drawover
-
@Kevin-Longueil Nice! I really like the idea of reaching toward the skull with the other hand! Thanks for taking the time to drawover, it's much appreciated
-
@Braden-Hallett Great improvement with the cover! I also have some suggestions based on all the wonderful feedback you've already received.
I really like adding the other hand reaching for the skull. It seems more interactive. But if you're going for that, I'd also suggest trying to switch the legs so that you can see both the legs clearly and also the torso.I think you need a sharp font to match all the sharp lines of the supercomputer. Maybe more in the lines of the first font you used but something with more width and kerning so that it's easier to read.
Also, try playing around with the scale of "THE" and see if it looks any better?
-
@Neha-Rawat thank you for the feedback! I'll try and open up the pose. At the very least make it so that the silhouette reads better!
and that some awesome advice on the font. I had to look up what Kerning was, lol.
-
MAJOR SURGERY TIME!
I HATE making these kinds of changes once a piece is at this stage, but in this case the feedback was so good I kinda have to try
First step is the pose. Next step is the colour alterations. last step is the font fiddlin'.
I think this pose is more open and the silhouette reads clearer at the very least. And story telling-wise reaching for the skull is so much better than lookin' at the cord!
Let me know what you think! I'll be implementing the colour suggestions next
and just the silhouette.

@Braden-Hallett super nice! just quick thoughts plus a draw over - was wondering how it might look if his body language and face were opposing each other...was wondering if you showed that he was pulling away...head tilted away and his body kind of braced against the direction he is reaching? A little heroic resolve in his expression? also was thinking that he would really have to be reaching across his own center line for the plug thing so he would have a bunch of twist in his torso which really adds to the pose I think - lifted the toe of the boot to show bracing and tried (and failed)to give his left hand that sort of apprehensive protective pose a hand makes whenever reaching for a skull/supercomputer ....is there any way you could make the plug glow? would make for a nice warm against cool options - just thinking out loud ...and drawing instead working

@Kevin-Longueil I like how he looks hesitant here!
