Description So this is page 7 off 1st issue of Street Fighter II Turbo (which is out now, BUY IT!)

I'm just posting it up as an example of how I'm a moron.
See, (A) was my first colour attempt, which was both fun and challenging to colour (light setting etc, lots of playing around). Re-read the script and realized that I had coloured it showing the wrong time of day (I'm a moron)
So yeah, There went a few hours work down the drain, fortunatly the flats were layed out and it was all about re-lighting.
(B) is how It was supposed to look like and how it was printed.

Thought I'd share this.

The guy looks just like Stone Cold Steve Austin. >.>'


It's a good thing you re-read that script, though.

I think the sunset version is more interesting. Wish they'd altered the script instead!

theCHAMBA In reply to TheNeonGryphon [2008-10-17 12:45:26 +0000 UTC]

they couldn't as it would've had to shift a few other scenes.

it's in the past, so it's all good.

you draw the chair round on the upper end in the first picture and straight in the last and the blind magically opened a little more

i always think such details are funny...
loving scenes in films like
Scene A: Door window of the car is closed
Scene B 2 seconds later the window is open P

minor continuity errors like that tend to happen every now and then.
hard to catch them all.

no, i am a moron.
as my own moronic act made me use up more time on something that would've been done if i had read the script carefully.
but it's done, so all good

damn I hate when shit like that happens!! .. that's why I always read the script first!! lol
it's a shame cos I actually love the atmos you've made in A ... still, guess you've got to adhere to the laws of the script!
great work as always, thanks for sharing!

I always find it interesting to see how lighting affects the mood of a piece. A nice contrast between the two light schemes. Thanks for sharing.

scruffyronin In reply to ??? [2008-10-17 10:23:26 +0000 UTC]

yeah, it's a bitch when that happens. one thing good thing about it though is that you can already add what little you want previously.

theCHAMBA In reply to scruffyronin [2008-10-17 12:54:41 +0000 UTC]

very very true!

in this case, it wasn't so bad as all the flats were already layed down.
And if I had to do all those again then I would've been really annoyed at myself.

Aw man, I hate when that happens X( Looks class in both versions, although I must say I really like the light bouncing at the corner in the bottom daytime one.

RogueRider [2008-10-17 09:22:14 +0000 UTC]

If it were me I woulda said "Screw this" and just changed the color and claimed it was a neon bilboard or something outside XD

But also....I'm kinda lazy like that. I really do like 'A' but 'B' still gives the right feeling for what's going on. Kudos anyways man ^__^

I LOVE the lighting on the first one. It's a shame this scene had to be a night though, the evening one looks so nice

Nether83 In reply to ??? [2008-10-17 08:58:59 +0000 UTC]

Just goes to show how much lighting affects the mood of the scene.

You seem to have made both of them work. Too bad for the extra working hours though. I bet you had fun nonetheless.

theCHAMBA In reply to Nether83 [2008-10-17 09:13:37 +0000 UTC]

yeah, the extra hours was really what was the let down in this whole ordeal.
But it was fun colouring it and seeing the varying sides of how it could be lit.

Dang. Before reading your description I had chosen between the two and actually like A better. A shame it was the wrong time of day.

Thanks for sharing this. It kinda makes you more human but still no less an awesome-machine.
