Flash Fire 386 September 12, 2014 Share September 12, 2014 First time doing a background. Here's what I got so far. I'm waiting to do shading until the background is set in stone. Looking for basic feedback, tips, or techniques to improve on this. My oc - http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/flash-fire-r5698 "Take my love. Take my land. Take me where I cannot stand. I don't care. I'm still free. You can't take the sky from me. Take me out, to the black. Tell my ma I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me."

Spagem 505 September 12, 2014 Share September 12, 2014 I honestly think the background looks fine for the style it seems you're going for. I personally like it. If you're maybe seeing it as too basic, you might want to try giving the trunks of the trees a tiny bit of detail though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just didn't want to do any fine detail or shading until I knew if anything was changing. My oc - http://mlpforums.com/page/roleplay-characters/_/flash-fire-r5698 "Take my love. Take my land.

SweetJeans88 408 September 25, 2014 Share September 25, 2014 i really like it! great proportions, atmosphere and technique~ but since youre seeking critique....hmm... composition mostly you never want your subject matter in the dead center.....(and shes technically not, shes a little lower...)but if you want to add interest, just crop it a little, so shes nearer the bottom right corner.. but move your moon to the left side. the pathway behind her is an "implied line" its pointing away from your figure, but the trees block it.. so your eye follows to nothing. you want your eyes to roam around the page and gather the story. the moon is your second "main character" or subject matter here, so by moving it to the left at least your eyes will travel to it. also its the brightest thing on the page so your eyes automatically pick it out first, but theres no leading from there. even your batpony is looking diagonally to the left... 1 GO CONTRIBUTE! my art: here, and tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
