But you might wave goodbye to colored outlines and stick to the black though ;O

Black outlines are gross unless used properly. What are you talking about?

Black outlines can infact improve an image if used propperly, and i'm talking about that you would have to use a black outline if you have a lot of difrent colored items on your image, you would use too many colors on the outlines to be able to shade it propperly. And black outlines somehow "focus" the veiw on that area, it and also darken the colors close to the black pixels, black outlines isn't really that bad, they can ruin your shading though ;O

Edit: look at scott's monkey's face, if he had used a colored outline at the areas he's using a black, the face would have become "blured", and it would hard to tell if the jaw is a part of the body or infront of it...

Black outlinings, especially shaded ones, does look awesome in most cases. Using black and a shade of gray you can create a cel-shaded feeling to the picture.

This is what I have got so far, I am currently working on the head.

TonyRivers · #53 06-01-2004, 02:31 AM

well I think we should get to use as many colors as we want but have a limit of three shades per color. But I can see how this could be abused..

Wtf, is this what i think it is?

You don't need many colors at all, plus thats the point to a challenge, its ment to be a challenge, nothing easy.

TonyRivers · #57 06-01-2004, 03:37 AM

No, it's the truth. If you're good enough you can get by with this project just fine with 16 colours... It's not THAT complex of a project... Monkeys are brown, bananas are yellow... You only need like 2 colours there... Wow, thats like 7~8 shades for each... Then again, who would want to use 7 shades on a banana?

Awesome job, Matt! I cant wait to see the finished product!
