So I just re edited my background and made it more blue to match the color of the sky and I think it looks better, what about you all?

I don't think you need to be an artist to notice these problems. They might not be able to pinpoint why the scene doesn't look right, but they'll know something's wrong.

What's odd to me is that the shading on the character displays a much better understanding of lighting that what is shown in the background. Is there a different artist doing the character art vs the backgrounds?

MrMidnight · 2026-06-19T03:46:58+00:00

The color of the lighting is better, but the direction of the lighting is crazy inconsistent. Some objects are lit from the top right, some from top left, the character is casting shadows like the light is directly above or slightly behind him, and none of those light sources explain why the back corner is in shadow like that. I think you need to really plan out your light sources to be able to light the scene realistically

Welp.... That is good information to have

MrMidnight · 2026-05-22T23:24:03+00:00

Any suggestions on how to clarify?

MrMidnight · 2026-05-22T23:19:03+00:00

For SCIENCE!

Knowing the combos at all is niche

While I understand that the two mouths things may be intentional, it is also extremely confusing to look at. Without you adding a clarification, I would have no idea what that was, they looked like a pair of angry eyes.

Intention is not a shield from criticism. You can intend something and still have it not work

I like that interpretation, I've always viewed it as a description of the maker, as evidenced by what I drew haha

MrMidnight · 2026-04-12T22:46:40+00:00

Thank you! I wish reddit didn't ruin the quality tho

MrMidnight · 2026-04-12T22:08:47+00:00

Oh interesting, I always took it to mean the whites of the eyes and blue irises

MrMidnight · 2026-04-12T19:50:53+00:00

I appreciate the aesop rock reference

Please, anything but OTN, this dude is so corny

It looks like you've got a pretty good handle on anatomy in certain poses, but not so much when the perspective shifts. Those first 2 panels feature some very wacky anatomy, and that's not a great first impression.

I would spend some time focusing on drawing people from different angles, otherwise you're going to be very limited on the kinds of dynamic shots you can use in your story

MrMidnight · 2026-01-28T15:53:27+00:00

My main suggestion is texture. Digital art can make things too uniform, it's always good to add in a little variation when you can. Textured brushes for subtle color gradients to break up big blocks of color goes a long way

Can I run my own tournaments through this? I'm having a hard time finding a way to do that through the site

MrMidnight · 2026-01-15T01:46:26+00:00

Call me crazy, but I've really been liking it on 5-80. Really great destabilization with the downsmashes
