Thanks for the advice.....It's hard doing this series as a one man show...I think I will be posting more of my files for such advice as things progress.

Yep, that works much better (seems like it belongs to the tail now).

Hey, it's hard to do *anything* without feedback -- I know some of my best work was when I (excitedly) shown my (perfect) stuff to my wife only to have her say, 'Yes, but..."

(And after I defend why I'm right and she's absolutely wrong I change it and then have her watch it again. Wives are always right, even when they're not. Especially when they're not.)

Hehe....exactly the same thing happens at this end of the world!!!

Here's another scene....again with lots of action lines (now adjusted).

Wow, nice work. I really like that kind of minimalist background too.

Thanks synthsin75. I used Anthony Rizzo as the inspiration. He did a lot of the original series backgrounds for Road Runner.

Ha, it's fast! I like that a lot.

I noticed that I had difficulties to read the character in front of the BG. Maybe a stronger contrast would help.

Thgis might sound stupid..but what sort of contrast? Colour contrast or light to dark? Can you be more specific?

EDIT: Actually....I think this is due to scale compensation. The linework is much better and bolder without scale compensation turned on.

Hm, yes, thicker lines could help. But my best advice would be to always check a scene with half-closed eyes: if you can't make out anything, then it needs to be improved.

The things to look for are, in order of importance:
- contrast: light against dark, silhouettes
- detail: detailed areas against uniform areas, small objects against big ones
- colour contrast
- line thickness: do they define the characters good enough?

I just posted a question on how to turn off scale compensation globally on AS scenes. I have soooo many layers that have scale compensation checked it's a gigantic pain to go through them all manually and turn them off. Anyone know of a solution?
