Colors on colors

This week is all about finalizing my animatic and rigs! Yay! The next step is texturing Noemi and Milo, so I can start getting ready to animate. Needless to say my production schedule is a little all over the place because I had some unexpected delays, but I spent most of the filler time playing with concept art/colors and learning more about layout and composition. Here is an example of a color/mood test that I did for Noemi overlooking the neighborhood:

Kinda rough with the shapes and brush textures, but I wanted to experiment with a more drastic lighting effect in the backgrounds that really highlights the darkness and the sunlight. Speaking of struggling, I realized that I am pretty awful at making things contrast well. Some part of me just wants to make everything the same tone, and when I try to highlight/darken something, within 10 minutes everything else gets lighter/darker too -__- #artiststruggles Also I discovered that messing around with curves in photoshop is my best friend. I have to run off to chapter dinnerrr buttt if I have more time I'll post up some more work I did this week :D

peace out cybernerdssss
