[Perihelion]

Avatar I made for another forum (specifically, a forum for a zombie browser MMO where I play a pro-zombie human). This is probably my first serious attempt at two light sources, and I wanna say I used about 12 colors.

Critique. Go.

For Dead Frontier or Ex-Mortis?

And hey, it's so cool anyway, Perihelion!

 

[Perihelion]

Urban Dead, actually.

That's pretty neat. I love the human one's hair, that looks nicely done.

And the whole thing is 12 colours? Nice work with such a restricted palette :D

I really like this Peri, it's actually amazing~

I think what is truly spectacular is how smoothly the image goes from ordinary to zombie, and at 12 colors that's pretty impressive. The dithering is nice, and doesn't stick out too much.

I dunno, maybe a different color for the skin to the hair, would look better, but that would ruin the whole 12 color thing. It just looks a bit odd with blonde hair and skin.

Very nice, anyhow.

 

[Perihelion]

Well, my original plan for the hair was to make it somewhat darker by just using the same palette in different amounts, but that ended up not happening because I like using the full palette as much as possible for hair. @_@ Thanks, anyway. I'm actually not sure on the bridge between the two halves; it looks kind of weird on a bright background. Better on the forum it was intended for, though.



Also, Boon, remind me to comment on your stuff in the other thread later.

Which one, the scrapheap or boomin workshop?

I'm not too keen on the immediate change from highlighted skin to a very dark, shaded skin. I'd prefer a 1-2 pixel transition. Great hair, though. Is that you in RL?

 

[Perihelion]

Yeah, the transition is pretty sudden. I keep meaning to go back and revisit it but then being lazy or forgetting. Thanks for the reminder; I'll play with it later.

And is it me? Not really, but you could say it's a character of mine, I guess.

I really like that. It looks amazing.

My opinion: Lose the glasses, make the eyes bigger, and then lower them. I can't tell if there's glasses on the zombie side, but it doesn't look like it(and zombies generally have no use for glasses)and glasses don't hang on to one side of your face. The eyes kind of look too small, and like they're up higher than they're supposed to be. It's not anatomically correct, i mean.

Also, you should give his human side a more serious expression, the smile makes him look kind of animal-ish.

Wow this looks great! If anything, I would say make the glasses seem more like the same glasses? They seem to bend awkwardly... I dunno, only thing I saw.
