the neon effect on this turned out really nicely!

Thanks, that definitely seemed to be the axis that the battle tilted on.

I love seeing the art directing what I am doing rather than having to figure it out. That new piece I did brought me more comfort for that same reason.

Nicely done sir!

I like the explosion of neon/electricity where the Juggernaut is stepping on the sign.

As always you find correct complimentary colors for the background. They match the character color range perfectly :thumbs up:

yeah, the big one for this round is going to be the colors that people choose for the neon - after I chose blue, the background colors just kind of fit.

I'm surprised that no one went with green neon. Would have been my choice to compliment all the blues and browns. Oh well, I guess I should have participated then

Green just flattens everything out though... I'll bet some people started with green and went away from it.

Hmmm green flattens? Is that in general or just because of the existing color palette?

I've had difficulty rendering them in the past.

Looks like some people did use green. I think I see what you mean. Though I may have to try it for myself to seal it in.

I speak Google. If someone stops by my gallery and says nice things, I can at least say thanks in their native language.

ok, Just wanted to ask you. Since I know you can find Bruxelles and Namur in the USA, and also in this country They speak "wallon", my old native language. Now in Belgium (where you find Bruxelles and Namur), a part speak french, like me.
I know a lot of american people speak french.

Nocturne!!!

Damn, what happened to Juggy? The Crimson Helm of Cyttorak looks like it's seen better days.

BDStevens In reply to gwalla [2012-05-16 04:54:54 +0000 UTC]

Nocturne has been one of my favorites with the space type stories she's been involved in. I think this was a House of M cover... I actually don't know too much about that story beyond how it tied into the New Avengers and Young Avengers storylines.
