This has seriously been an inspiration to me. I've actually been using colors from entirely opposite ends of my palettes / color ramps just to provide some accent to certain areas. Not to an excessive extent, though, hahah.

I think a lot of it has to do with how you explain things and break it down. How you word everything makes it sound so much more simple, but at the same time very effective. And, of course, your examples provide little to be asked for! (Er, I think I worded that right) :D

Please keep up the excellent work! And for the watch, by the way xD

Here's a little something different.



Phew! I organized an art trade with RHLPixels . It took a few hours, but I managed to finish my half of it!

Thanks SO much to TheoreticalSelkie for helping me out throughout making this. She was like my second pair of eyes, and helped me fix things up a ton!! However, this being said I know there are still some things wrong with it. I highly encourage constructive criticism, but at the same time I appreciate any feedback I can get!

This was some really good practice. I'm really glad I gave this a shot. I wanted to challenge myself and change things up a little. I made it floating upside-down playfully--don't ask me how exactly that works logically, I'm not totally sure how--and the lighting really, really challenged me. This being said I'm not sure if the fact that it's floating / flying / whatever upside-down is super convincing, so if you know how I can fix that PLEASE let me know.
