October Entry: The Desert Reclaims her Own

[Torq]

After MMMMMMpig's suggestion I have tried to take this in another direction by adding some lights.

That's much better than the first two versions.

Very cool...

[mmmmmpig]

I agree, but i would tone back the purpleness of the color and add light blue splashes of moonlit highlights.

then... c'est fini

I love the window light... very nice. I am not too sure the bats would reflect light though. seems a bit odd. The bats also seem rather static to me. perhaps there is a way to show movement.

That night scene is awesome. I do agree it's a tad too purple in color though.

[Aera Lure]

Yeah, a little too purple and saturated and the window lights could fade out a bit more in a gradient from the light sources because they look too solid. You could try desaturating the purple a bit, just dont desaturate and lighten too much at the same time or it gets washed out like your second one was. Could try a touch of contrast whenever desaturating and/or lightening, but its not something I can describe as well as simply looking at it and deciding it looks about right.

Definitely an improvement over the other two though in my opinion. Very cool.

[Torq]

I've taken down the red in the colour of night giving it more of a blue and less of a purple look. Added areas of moonlight and increase the diffusion of light spilling through windows and doors, as per your suggestions. Thanks all for the advice.
