Ilanthar's tests & sketches

That looks nice

[Ilanthar]

Thanks for the help, Mouse ;-)
Is this working?

[Ilanthar]

Thanks, Chashio .

Just wondering if did not fade the background map a bit too much, though.

[Mouse]

How about turning it about 5 degrees clockwise, so its more diagonal?

It seems a bit taller than it was before.

Other than that - nice

EDIT: maybe a purely tonal background? No darker. Its not the focus of the piece. Just desaturated.

Arrrf, too late!
I'll try other things later... I have to eat ;-)

The new logo looks great Ilanthar! I don't think you faded the background to much, though I actually prefer the colored background over the grayscale one.

[Mouse]

That's better on the angle

I really like it with a grey background, but you could try colourize with a warmer blue, maybe?

Maybe I'm just getting too fussy now!!!

Looks great as it is, Ilanthar.


EDIT: its a bit like picture straightening isn't it - left a bit.... right a bit.... left..... up.... down..... no - right a bit.....

[Mouse]

Oh I LOVE that one - the one with the warm parchment background

If you don't like it plain, you could always add the map detail back in, but very very faintly in a suitable pale brown-grey ink?

[Ilanthar]

OK, I think this is the good one.

I have to work out my new banner now .

Creamy steel colour.

I like very much.... but best wait a bit so others can say what they think

EDIT: Possibly a slightly darker shadow on the lizard to make him look like he's standing on the map?
