In my digital design class, I had to come up with a concept for a character and then design a comic book cover around it. I decided to create a knight cursed with immortality as penance for his past misdeeds.
Now, after designing the cover, I ran it through Prisma for fun, thinking that the result would be pretty lackluster because prisma is meant to stylize photos, not drawings. Boy was I wrong; this turned out better than my actual art!
Slightly salty that the filter bested me, and I wish I could turn the filter version in with a clear conscience, but alas. Anyway, tell me what you think!
Why not? Nearly every digital artist uses filters in some way on their art. It’s a tool, like any other aspect of digital art! If you feel it improves the art, then it’s a part of the process.
I really think it just looks better because the colors are more vibrant. It’s overall more blue, too, and since this looks like a night scene, it helps with the atmosphere. Makes it look like there’s a strong moonlight going on.
And let me just say, the actual art is fantastic! Like, really well done! I’d read this if it was a real comic.
If I’d have to give a critique, I’d just say to get rid of the text box at the bottom and just make it centered text, but the actual design itself is really neat!
Thanks for the feedback! I’d be more cool using the filter if it didn’t completely rework the art into an oil painting look, but it just feels disingenuous to me in a way I can’t place. I use filters all the time too, just usually in more subtle ways. I’ll take into account what you said about the colors and textbox!
Thanks! The text could definitely be better. Prisma is just an app that lets you put artistic filters over pictures; it’s used fairly often to make mocs look cool here on the boards.
