Re: Rebel Gladiator
Thanks for the kind comments, y'all. Adlabs, I didn't do anything special to make the top and bottom wing patterns align; I think my trade secret is luck! And, seeing that I got my idea for a fantasy lozenge-pattern from your stuff, Loke, I sure wouldn't call it second rate.
In making the pattern,I looked at a lot of patterns and started doodling, making the black outlines first and then experimenting with different colors until I liked the look. If I can find my lozenge template I'll be glad to upload it for anyone who's interested.
Sundog's comment is worthy of a thread unto itself - the reason the CS insignia doesn't show up well is because I applied too much saturation and lost my contrast. Working with saturation levels is a real challenge for me. Luckily, I controlled overall saturation on a separate layer so I was able to pump it up some and fix the problem.
I like bright colors, but I have learned that judicious desaturation is one of the biggest factors involved in creating the illusion of realism. I would love to have someone who has mastered this do a tutorial.
