Was working mainly with the thought of blue/purple colour scheme, something quite subdued in contrast to the relatively colourful scarecrow. I originally started by making the beak darker than the body, but it makes the mouth quite difficult to see. Overall I just think that it's too dark.
Personally I'm not keen on the orange beak — looks more like a duck! Jazzy then suggested making the beak lighter than the body which I think actually works really nicely. You can see her mouth and it keeps her looking a little more cheerful I think.
The last 3 (not counting disco crow) are probably my favourites so far. I was poking around on Google and a saw a few drawings where the crow's beak was more blue-ish in hue, so I tried it out and came up with 9 and 10 — 11, again, was inspired from another drawing where the crow was a brighter sort of purple with a brown beak and it looked really nice. So I
Personally, I think my favourites so far are 4, 8 and 10. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? :]
Edit: Agh! These look so much diffierent on my laptop screen. They're way brighter than I thought they would be - they looked super dark on the monitor in G01. Gotta try and fix that to keep them consistent across all monitors!
Hey Al just like to say great work! Really love all of your design ideas for the crow, especially Disco crow! XD I really love ideas 4, 9 and 10 especially 4 as it seems to be the only one with a coloured beak and feet and to me that looks unique and great! However, seen as crows tend to be all one colour (or near enough) idea 4 may be scraped but hey that's my opinion! Also, the spikes on the top of the head I think may need to be more elegant (so more slanted and slightly bigger) just to impersonate the idea of the crow being more female like. This could be a good test! Overall, love what you're doing with the crow! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Sam! Haha, I'm really glad you like them, I don't think we need to worry about having a crow that's slightly differently coloured. Where's the fun in sticking too close to reality, eh? :]
DeleteThanks so much for the feedback - I see what you mean about the head, I'll definitely play around with the length of the spikes. Do you think making them a little more wavy would work? More like the design Jae showed us?
Thanks again for the feedback! :D
Haha! Good point bud, maybe we should go for a funky looking cartoon like Disco Crow xD
DeleteHmmm yeah, perhaps look at the way Jae did her design and interpretate this into your own. I think with this the crow should look great! :)
And no problems buddy, anytime!
Do I need to say again that 10 is my favourite? I think I do ^^
