A Bat-Family commission, as featured in the Young Justice cartoon!
Open to any feedback on this. I'm about 90% satisfied with it, and I'd love to figure out that last 10% that's bugging me...



Thoughts? Crits?

The drawing is very good. Nice movement in the figures.

Composition and coloring could be adjusted.

The colors seems to have the same value as the figures and could be desaturated so the figures come forward more.

Because of same saturation and color scheme Nightwing and Batgirl seem to be one object. The composition could be adjusted also to pull then from the background. Nightwing's legs and Batgirl's left arm and cape from a tangent with the buildings nullifying the sense of space between them.

The first thing my eye goes to is the highlighted building on the left. You have excellent detail in the buildings, however for compositional purposes they are not helping to frame the figures as they should. I feel they need to be cool colors, less saturated and less focused.

Symson, thanks a lot for the feedback. I made a mistake in finishing the background with the characters not integrated- it made a lot of extra work for me in this stage, cleaning up contrast issues and tangents.

I went in and cleaned up the tangents (I think I got all of 'em!) and also altered the background. The characters pop a lot more with the lowered saturation in the background. I think I'm calling this one finished- it's still not perfect, but I gotta stop somewhere.

Awesome man, i was trying a different color scheme with cooler tones for the background, but honestly i just dont know if it reads any better. Maybe its just my impression, but it seems some of the perspective lines dont seem to converge to the horizon. Anyways, love the piece.

Sorry, just saw your last post after posting mine.

Thanks for the tweak, man. I think the main muddiness came from having too similar values in the figures and background. Seems like we solved the same problem two ways. Thanks!

Downer that bg is sooo over the top! Symsons crits were spot on and with the revisions your piece is a total success!
