Artist's Comments

Yeah, yet more stuff to do with this suit.

I'm still trying to find the right balance of colours with this in terms of aesthetics and practicality. It's definately remaining purple, though it's whether I go with the newer palette or stick with the one from the previous suit design.

I'll give a rundown of my thoughts on each. It also helps to view these designs in greyscale to get an idea of the lower light conditions it's be seen in.

#1 - New palette
PROS: Fresh new colours; strong visual presence reads well in a comic; mixes well with fur and hair colours.
CONS: Colours may be a bit too strong; technically not very stealthy.

#2 - Old palette
PROS: Familiar colours; stealthy & muted colours.
CONS: Unsure if the colours sit right with design, slight saturation change?

#3 - Inverse old palette
PROS: Maintains familiar colours.
CONS: Too light, would be spotted easily even in low light; seems oddly militant.

#4 - Inverse new palette
PROS: Darker colours for lower profile; purple accents.
CONS: Majority is dark blue rather than purple; gloves (and boots) don't look right.

#5 - New palette, old configuration
PROS: A happy medium of tones; low profile yet strong colours.
CONS: Few, aside from the patch on the back of the jacket.

#6 - New palette, darker main colour
PROS: Hard to see in dark conditions.
CONS: Hard to see, period; can't make out details; makes the white fur stand out too much.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated. Cut loose! :)

I dunno, I think I prefer 3 regardless of the cons. It looks more... I dunno, it looks better. xD

Otherwise, 2 is second-best.

The brighter colours just take something away from the design for me, so I really like the muted tones. *Nod.*

You're a bit off; I may be a canine, but I'm not a dog. Instead of bitch, try the word vixen next time.

When I look to the inverse old color palette I keep thinking "Something makes me thing of The Boss from MGS 3"

I think the more... muted colors would be better, because they would be harder to spot then the more vibrant purples.

2 or 6, but yes, 6 is a little harder to see period.

I got a pretty strong Metal Gear vibe from #3, which is probably why it felt kinda militant to me. Can't really say I'm a fan of it since she's more of a frelancer than anything.
Muted colours would be a good choice though, from the practicality standpoint.

It's gotta get harder before it gets any easier.

Number 2 and 5 looks nice for the suit.
:icontwin-kamon:
I would have to say number 2 is my favorite, with numbers 3 and 4 being the runners up.

The muted tones of #3 compliment White Shadow's fur well, though #2s darker colors look far stealthier.

I'm sure the final colors you choose will look great and I look forward to seeing it.
