I'm a little rusty at this but I thought it looked pretty good. What do you think?

Fantastic!!

If I may make one suggestion the color of your text would be easier to read if the color contrasted better with the stallion's dark coat. I love everything else about it!

OneSaltyMitch · Sep 18, 2023 10:17 PM

I absolutely welcome suggestions. :) You're definitely right. The black that goes across his stockings is okay, but his name does blend in with his coat much more than I would like. Perhaps a nice lighter shade of blue so it doesn't blend into my background as well?

On Commander Rayge I wonder if you could try to match the text to the strands of green that appear in the upper left corner of the background. I think tying it into matching the background, but still allowing it to stand out would look nice.

I love the background of the bright red trees in the second one you posted for Dust in the Wind.

What you really need for legibility is either a stroke or a drop shadow.

OneSaltyMitch · Sep 19, 2023 1:56 PM

@RamshornSportHorses, oh, I bet that would look nice. I'll give it a try.

@Ammit, I definitely do need a drop shadow. I'm just not completely certain how to from my Kindle yet. I need to mess around with it a bit more.

I appreciate the feedback! :)

DarkPhoenix · Sep 19, 2023 2:58 PM

ooo, I’m loving these! I think that if you were to do a little shading, it would really help define the bodies a little more. The lineart is really faint on dust in the wind and the head and legs are blending into the body. Totally up to you though. :)

If I may ask, what program do you use? I’m one of those IbisPaintX finger drawers lol =))

I'm using kleki. It's a very light, browser based version of Gimp (more or less). It's nice because I can use it on my Kindle rather than having to get on my PC to do anything.

DarkPhoenix · Sep 19, 2023 7:12 PM

Ohhh, I used to use Kleki but it glitched so much for me. It's improved a lot since two years ago. I'm thinking of getting Procreate soon but I'm a little broke haha.
