Well, it is half baked xD still need shades and stuff which is usually the most time taking process. I am not extremely pleased with the angle of view of crocodiles, but, well, I still got 3-4 days to finish it xD

Upatrono's idea would be the best idea( If you redid the outline in Illustrator, if not, you'll have to do something a bit more complicated). To do that, you just go in the aspect palette ( looks like a sun, if you can't find it press shift and F6 or go in the window menu and search for aspect). After that you click on the outlined square at the bottom of the palette caller «add a border» ( it's the first on the left ( if you can't find it, there's the word fx in white near it)). Then you just need to select the color of the border and the size of it ( 1 or 2 points should be sufficient (I think it's in that by default)) and drag the white outline over the black one ( still in the palette, just put it on top of it). Don't forget to select all your outline before or else it won't work like you want ( after that the place where the color of the outline was showed will be turned in a «?», it's normal because there is two outlines). Don't give up, you're almost there. ( if you have difficulty in english, I can say it to you in french and even send a pdf in french ( since I did a work on that not long ago at school) ^^).

And by the way, i'm the contrary of a dude. If your talking to the other one, well, just forget what I said :)

Well my friends, I can say I never been at such a loss of ideas as in this topic. I am still trying to come up with something but it is really really hard. I think you have all done an awesome job with both ideas and in particular the art.


This is my entry Jazza :D Had a blast making this one.

OK, what i see is that green and blue are an awful couple to have together in picture...
I need some other colour... maybe very light blue but the the girl's white uniform becomes messy...

I want a sky background, not just a colour background and that makes things a bit complicated.

Nope. i'm a Quebecer, but yes, my mother tongue is French. It explains a bit why I offered you help in french and the terms I used for the tools. Alors, ça ressemble à ça :) If you wonder about other information about me, just take a peek at my profile, everything is listed there, excepted my name.

Then why not take a blue with green tones like aqua green or azur/turquoise. Might be better than just blue. Maybe a publish blue be good too... But nah, you'd have to redo the shading and lighting on the crocodiles. I'd stick with the green blue.

oops. Sorry purple-blue not publish.

Might as well do the trick... or maybe a sunset colours... pink, yellow, a bit blue, a bit purple... clouds... should make a contrast enough for the front figures to stay focused.

well ok, since this is a wedding, I would put them in a church, or maybe not. Maybe on a small island in the middle of the lake with flower beds and wedding decorations. As an option I would put some crocodiles in that lake :D You could put them on the ocean shore with white sharks looking from the water and guys surfing on tides.
Well what I noticed in the work of artists whom I adore is that they draw lots of small details in the background while remaining focused on main subject in the front. For example yesterday I was watching some pictures on deviantart and most amazing pictures had lots of details on main theme main focus point but there were also lots of details in background BUT background is background. You either make it blurred a bit or a bit dim in colours so that your foreground doesn't get mixed with whatever is in the back.
So you got my point right? :)

In itself the art is good, however you could try to add some basic cell-shading with the pen tool. As for the background, I would see it in a church or in front of the Sydney Opera. Oh, maybe in the savahnah? Sorry, my knowledge of Australia isn't great. You should trust yourself on that one. ( btw, if you want that someone notices your messages fast, you should just reply to one of theirs post. It doesn't do anything to ask 3 times on the post like that, with just your message on a generic post like this one, If i don't look it I won't know you tried to contact me.) And you don't need to write to me in French if you're not confortable with it. As you can see i'm almost bilingual.

Nah. Why would we be angry? You just got attacked by those extremists. Some museum in Tunis or something like that. We aren't angry at Tunisia, well not in Canada. Even if we'd want to, it'd be ridiculous since the Islamic State ( think that's their name in english) is made with people from everywhere around the world: France and Canada included. Don't worry, try to be happy ( cause I know it can be difficult in times like these).

I could use the practice, and I think I just came up with an idea that will be fun to run with.
Here's hoping I can pull it off in just a few days!


GAH!
