The villain for "Slipping Through" is this fine gentleman. Lord of the Masque. There is meaning to that name, which will become clear in time. He is still under development, but I do know that he is arrogant and probably is tearing holes in the fabric of time and space. The jerk.
I posted this elsewhere and submitted it to be featured in an art group on this site. It was declined so I asked why, hoping for some helpful advice. They answered thusly,
"it was declined because of quality. The work is good, how you caught the movement and their facial expressions are great and but a little more work could be done with coloring. The colors are too flat and a little dull in my opinion.
if you thin out the lines a little bit and put more effort in coloring the piece would look different, the shading was okay but again, a little more detailed coloring would make it a better piece.
wish you luck next time"
A very nice reply which would be helpful except . . . most of the problems they list were deliberate choices on my part. I am deliberately cultivating a thick-lined style because it is a cartoon, the same with the semi-flat coloring. As for the colors being dull, that was intentional because I wanted the character to be understated aside from his bright red mask. In essence, for my work to be approved of I would have to adopt a completely different style.
Just my little complaint of the day.
