Okay, my 2d challenge entry thread isn't getting many visitors, and I need help with this real fast. I don't know which background to use, Green or Purple.

See: http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=707458#post707458

Any thoughts?:shrug:

Definitely green because the purple on purple just blends together. I would add a little more yellow to the green also because yellow complements purple. The background should always (well most of the time) help the foreground or object in focus standout. :D

I absolutely concur.... GREEN is the only choice! :thumbsup:

I vote green as well. It makes the character (which kicks ass, btw) stand out better.

Thanks everyone. That's a big help. I preferred the green myself, but I wasn't sure whether to go the monochromatic or complimentary route!!

You know what it's like when you've been staring at the same picture for 4 days non-stop and it just stops making sense?!

Redsilas - I'll give a little more yellow a try. I've tried matching the greenish yellow in his robe (hieroglyphs) and in his eyes as a compliment to the red-purple in his robes. A straight yellow fights with the pink!!!

Thanks again!!

Okay, I got it finished. I went with the green - made it a bit more yellow (which worked wonders - cheers RedSilas:thumbsup: )
