RE: Screenshot criticism thread

@Wapez Although tere might be differences like larger room, lack of detail, different windows, it still resembles of the study. Sorry that is how I think, that is what majority thinks. No matter how much words you put in, the screenshot does not change its look, how it resembles.
It's not unique in any way.

Listen to everything Robo said except for this part. You use whatever color you want.

I actually agree with robo about the colour. Orange would look better c:

ALSO IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AROUND AGAIN, MRN

I don't think it would make a difference. The subtleties of the lamp color are minor as far as the general impression of the scene is concerned. Instead, focus on the composition and believability.

I would also be wary of making the lamp brighter, it's obviously not the compositional focus of the scene. If you want it to act as a counterbalancing component to the teal, pick a better place for it. The way it's positioned now is not in balance with the teal but rather competing with it.

To be honest with you, I'd just remove the lamp altogether.

GOOD TO SEE YOU TOO, KIA. YOU'LL ALWAYS BE KIANDRA TO ME. Heart

We've discussed this already Robo.

Yes, color theory is a thing. To use it as an absolute and impenetrable rule like you suggest greatly limits your capacity for variety and ultimately defeats the purpose of it as merely a tool of expression. Since when is art judged by its strict adherence to rules? If anything, art is created in the violation of rules.

Just the fact that there are many different accepted complementary sets depending on the color palette you use (yellow-blue in RGB, yellow-violet in the artist's palette) alone undermines the concept of complementary colors as something absolute.

You said what I said, move it, except I explained why having the light there is bad. I didn't just say "move it" though, I left it open so that he could either remove it, or move it depending on what he wanted the scene to be about.

I read it as a suggestion to make the light brighter. I don't see how it can be interpreted as a critique of positioning.

Oh fuck off, i'm cocky one? says the most pretentious asshole i've had the misfortune to meet, seriously not a good idea to get on my bad side mate because you're narrowly crossing a line.

I'm not cocky at all, kiddo. Hell I hate half of my fucking work and I've already lost half of my motivation after losing my project which I spent years on and I couldn't give a fuck less.

How about you actually listen for once and stop acting like a child.

THANKS.

Stop acting tough and backup your shit

Better to have a story and end it, then to never realise it has begun...
