Red and green only remind me of those tacky christmas decorations. I couldn't mix those two in my project because I'm 100% sure I would end up hating hit. I'm now considering a lot changing it to the green one. The feedback I got here, plus feedback at home, plus my own taste, make me think it's a mistake to go against what I like best in favour of red fire. Dunno if I can paint it well enough though. But without trying I'll never know.
Here are the final versions of that sketch I made. The coloured one was to test the green palette. Now that I made it with that one, I'm not sure I want to use it anymore. It may be that I grew accustomed to the red one. Time to move on to the final project since the deadline is coming in fast and I'm slow as hell.
