Evil Bird

Messing around with colors and this is what I kinda got.
A possessed blue bird. Reminds me of RII.

But yeah, I want some C+C on this.

C+C, umm... The feet are too close next to each other.

Otherwise, great style.

It's hard to tell if the eyes are eyes, because the light reflection is so dull, it blended into the background.

Is that my uncle tom?

Anyways I love that style. I would like to see more in it.

I like the style a lot actually

the shading and the lines are very cool and sketchy looking

here's some tips:
-don't be afraid to hue shift! the more you shift hues the more your shading will stand out
-right now the feet look like they're just pasted their on the bird, I'd suggest shifting the perspective of the left (our left) foot/talon or whatever
-he's slightly tilted, and that always bothers me when it comes to art :s -- dunno how you'd fix that without reworking the entire image though

Thanks, how do you shift hue in SAI paint?

It looks like the feet are too close together

see that rainbow ring with a square (Saturation/Value) inside of it? thats yer Hue Ring, and you typically shift it left/right when you change your Saturation/Value :V

Ah, I used that though. MAybe i shouldv'e used more colors.

i dunno I'm using the color picker on it and i see little to no shift in hue. :V Mayhaps you need to use a larger shift when you're shading/highlights.

i also noticed that when you did highlights and shading, there was only a change in Saturation and Value separately (save for the yellow, though not by much), when you typically want to change both. Instead of going just up/down or left/right, go in a diagonal. If you use Painter/Artweaver, you'd use an arc instead.

Eh whatever, it was my first time coloring in that program and I think I did a decent job.
Also WIP on next drawing

Love the eyes, they look like they're stitched a little :3

Legs look a little close though.

I really like the expression on that new one.

Sorry for bumping this but should I move the ring or the box or in this case the saturation or the hue?
