MP: Batsford: Gradient Map Test On Night Version
MP: Batsford: Gradient map test on night version
I began assigning colours to the values by using a limited palette to create a monochrome effect. By keeping the colouring cohesive I expected it to create a sort of calming atmosphere, but ran into some issues. I originally chose a soft lilac-blue palette inspired by the last line of the poem “the silence of the sands when tides are low”. However, the colours fell flat and made it hard to distinguish details. I experimented with a more vibrant teal, but it resulted in an eerie tonality that didnt suit the theme.
I revisted a blue colour palette, adjusting the contrast between the values to pull some deeper tones from the background. To do this I created a wider gradient in the sky, providing a clear outline for the horizon. The richness of the blue tied the elements of the foreground together nicely without becoming too messy. However, I was still concerned that the monochrome palette would make it hard for the audience to differentiate the time of day shown in the panels.

Petition for artists to stop calling their art 'sketches' and 'doodles' unless it's actually a sketch (quick, unfinished pencil on paper or the digital equivalent). It probably sounds like I'm kidding but I'm genuinely not; as an artist who used to tag lots of stuff this way, I thought it was a humble way of saying 'eh it's not that great' but then I'd turn around and see some artist whose skill is WAY out of my league saying the same shit about their gorgeous, full color art. And whether or not the intent is self depreciating (which is bad in itself), the takeaway I'd always get is 'this was easy and I didn't spend very much time on it'. Cuz that's what a sketch IS, it's something low effort and unfinished. And not to sound salty but it's a bit of a 'fuck you' to people at lower skill levels who would probably chop off a limb to turn out something that good. It then slowly dawned on me that I must be the 'fuck you'-er to some people, cuz we're all our own worst critics and I know some people really do like my art, regardless of how I might feel about it.
Anyway I highly doubt anyone's intentions are really 'fuck you', I'm sure yr all doing it for similar reasons as mine were, but it's a bit hurtful and disheartening nonetheless. If you put effort into your piece, be proud of it! Otherwise ppl are gonna think 'wow if THIS is just a doodle, what the hell am I even doing?'
