Durrell's Sketchbook

@Durrell-Odom Mothership is a very interesting piece. Can't wait to see it in colors. What are you planning for the background?

[Durrell Odom]

@theprairiefox thanks. Most likely outer space or whatever the client needs. Hopefully nothing super elaborate.

@Durrell-Odom I was thinking you might be going that way... I was also thinking that if you could get it to be a light value it would make the whole image pop. You might think about a sun or something bright in the back? It would silhouette the figures and make the come out. The other option would be to lighten the values on your figures/earth and keep the background dark? Just some thoughts.

@theprairiefox sounds like a good idea. But my image is actually lighter than what it is. I saved it on greyscale, so it made it darker. Here's where I'm at right now.

That definitely reads better.
