1. Huge, Angular, Futuristic, War Torn, Buildings
Seriously, I didn't like any of my thumbnails and I was ready to scrape ALL of them. In the end I just picked the last thumbnail and tried fixing it up. I know there's conflicting styles here because the buildings have clean lines while the scenery is "dirtier". I'll keep that in mind for future works.
2. Large, Wide, Ancient, Spooky, Tree in Forest
I picked this thumbnail because I liked the angle the tree was bent at. I cleaned up the branches. Well, I basically cleaned up everything. I added that slime thing at the upper right hand corner because it looked a bit blank without it. I had my friends choose between the two and they like this one better. I don't know, I feel like maybe I over did it though because the slime is colliding with the tree a bit.
Sum up lessons learned:
1. Don't wait until last minute (well, my last minute is two days before assignment is due) but don't start assignments the day they are assigned either.
2. Don't use so much black/ use a more neutral gray background.
3. SILHOUETTES! Does Character Viz have to smack you in the head again?
4. DON'T ever get frustrated and continue. Step away. Go drink a glass of orange juice or something and come back.
5. Conflicting styles are killers. Use one and stick with it throughout composition.
