underwater fish character thing..umm

[morgoth]

just finished a paint and I'm not sure what is the best color for it... so.. help me pick..

[morgoth]

or this

[morgoth]

hmm

[morgoth]

and last one....

[Aerics]

I like the blue. The color with the reflections on this picture, really nice draw.

[RBL]

I like the yellow one. I think "she" has too big bottom :D The face is the more i like it.

[rage]

yup, yellow one

[Mike-3DT]

I think the green one is the most easily 'readable' in terms of form and shape but I do think that all of them are a little too saturated & should be brought down some. Maybe mix & match colour schemes - either opposing or complimentary. Elements of the blue & green would work well together for example.
I totally love the design - I think that's one of the best mermaid designs I've ever seen in fact & I hope you add more skin detail (scales, blemishes, camoflage patterns etc,) to really finish it off. I think if you do, you'll have an amazing piece.

orange one

[morgoth]

blue one

[RickStefani]

That is cool. Very nice. I like the orange one but the red one had some cool blood colors around the head and the tube thing.

[beowulf]

i like the last one that you posted
but maybe the color has something to do with how they survive? if they need to be camoflaged/hidden, i would go with the blue shades; if they arent in any danger of attack or discovery, then the orange seems nicer
...maybe im going too far into this...:roll: :???:

[morgoth]

no no you are on the right track.. thats whay I made it with 2 different colors.. I'm not sure what is should be tho..

[evil_radish]

yeah, i dig the last one, looks real good

[RickStefani]

The orange would fit in with the kept to hide. The deeper you go the harder it is to see colors so sometimes they are really bright but that spectrum of light can not penitrate so they look bland and blend in better. Depending on the enviroment you put her in would tell what colors to make her. Any Ideas? Even though you would thin greens and blues would blend, the only water creatures I know of that are that color are sharks and whales. Basicaly animals that do not hide.

[beowulf]

hrm... thats interesting
how about a really deep sea version where it is semi transparent or has glowing parts like an angler fish? might be more interesting than having colors :dunno:

[morgoth]

thats a cool idea.. I'll have to work on htat in my spare time tho. I have a new project I have to work on. :D

toodles

[morgoth]

here is the tropical fish rainbow-ish version I turned in. my instructor wanted it to be colorful heh.. so yeah.. rip it apart.. because I know it looks weird

[Michael]

Add some more colours on the leg and arm fins, to keep it in the mood - lines like on the head. :)

But I prefer the earlier versions.:roll:
