I didnt say it sucks, but I damn well could have. I thought I told you what it was looking like.

Question... what's the purpose of the hand? What will it be doing? What's the pose supposed to be, just an idle hand?

Solely comparing the two, the second is 100x better.

It's going to have your dogs head in it's grasp.

Added dithering to make the transitions in shade better.

Yeah right, as if you could draw my dog's head.
If I had a green metallic dog, maybe; but I don't.

Aren't you the cool kid following in Infernix's footsteps....they grow up so fast...

Besides I could draw a dog easily, doing lineart of a dog however....not my forte.

Not sure which is better...first one is without the dithering...i think the dithering gives it too much of a texture.

The hand looks alot better, but I would like to see a mix between those two. Like example, change the dithering on the dithered one to a more "smooth" pattern.

Check out where I shaded on this. It may help. If you want me to point it out, the backside of knuckles are dark, as well as areas in the inside of the palm where creases would be, or in the case of the image, where smaller fragments of bone connect. Before doing that, however, I shaded the entire glove to have light shining down on the top side. If you need me to size it up, let me know.

Well, the shading did get better than the first. The hand still looks off though. The fingers need fixed.

looks great, its more the shape of it im concerned with..

okok 1=new shape 2=old shape/dithered.

Give it some AA and you're golden. ^^

Alrighty.

Edit, if it doesnt hurt you to see your gfx getting edited by some random idiots ^^

Just my suggestion in the form of an image, I cannot really describe that in words ;D

I see what you mean...the black outline gave the right side a sticking out effect. thanks.

Yea, consistent-color-outlines generally flatten your image to one depth.

That's mad sexy... XD

All you gotta do now is fix the left-most finger. It really makes the graphic look bad.

Crow, there's one problem with that hand, it looks trippy on a non-transparent backround...

Well, I usually just use white backgrounds and do some AA that just looks good on a white background. I guess you could just make it alpha transparent with Photoshop or something else if you dont like the fact that you would have to choose a background color and cant make it transparent :P If you want to keep the background dark green, just pick some colors that work on it to AA your hand.

To me, the blending and colors on the first hand posted aesthetically look better to me, however, the last hand posted definitely has the most depth and is the more correct than the others.

lol that's what i posted.

Err...whatever! :D

I think the dithered one looked better, but the ugly outline doesnt help it at all, fix the lines.
