think 4 and 1 a good, think can be start to do hero with 1 (render) , and there already if not like von, edit through filters (Ctrl+u) in photoshop ...

[nesokaiyoh]

I actually really like 2 personally, blue and orange are always great together and it really catches my eye

[EllyettWee]

I can only agree to @nesokaiyoh - 2 has a beautiful color contrast and is my favourite as well

[yazziixx]

I want to finalize the colors now there isn't much time to go back and rerender hehe but thanks for the feedback

[yazziixx]

@nesokaiyoh @EllyettWee I made a poll on instagram and the majority did pick 2! I do however think that 4 is better since it conveys the water element more, I'm so confused now ;_;

If you're struggling to decide then it's best go with your gut instinct. It's your vision.

[yazziixx]

I'll start rendering for now and see where it goes

[yazziixx]

Some screenshots here, I'm still trying to choose between the 2 colors

[yazziixx]

Some updates, Im almost done with all the shading Fayrouz. I want to get started on the background next and start fixing the light and shadows. I'm also thinking to get started on the water instead and render that out fully since there's very little time left till the deadline

[yazziixx]

More rendering, I’m trying to work smartly and focus on the things that I want to be apparent. I haven’t touched the background yet but it already looks relatively okay. I feel like the water is overpowering my hero so I’ll get on that next

[mr_dessin]

Soothing colours and cool composition : 3

[yazziixx]

Thanks! Hopefully i'll finish on time hehe

[mr_dessin]

You're welcome !
Sure, I really get the feeling ^^'

[yazziixx]

Worked on the background and foreground. I feel like that front wave is cover a very big portion of the painting and looks a bit unbalanced maybe? I’ll get back to that after working some more on Fayrouz

[yazziixx]

I got a lot of feedback that the yellow background was overpowering the character so I fixed that a bit. I still have to add the dome at the back, maybe work on those hills a bit but I’m taking a break for now

[nesokaiyoh]

I liked how overpowering it was, it put a lot of focus on her head and torso but either way it still works really well, best of luck to you!

[yazziixx]

@nesokaiyoh I liked it as well! But a lot of people were telling me how it felt like "fire" the first time they saw it and not "water". I got the yellow back a bit and will render the water at the end and push it forward more, maybe increase the saturation, add some speckle to make it pop

[yazziixx]

DONEEE! It looks so pretty I'm so proud of this. I worked so hard on this and pushed myself so hard to finish it on time :') Everybody, meet Fayrouz.

[yazziixx]

Miinor update on the water emblem hehe, officially the finally one!

[yazziixx]

Character sheet updated
