nothin says love like... -V2-

after some (meager) positive response, i decided to actually do some work on this.

i've tried improving contrasts of colors, mostly, both to add shadow effects and to better define figures and characters in the picture. the effect wasn't completely successful, but it did improve several contrasts that i wasn't satisfied with, especially those on Orange Guy, Skeleton Man, and Blue Ninja.

the original was designed with the standard paint palette in mind, and thus rather than updating the original, i'm releasing this as a "V2." the original, after some consideration, i'm leaving completely intact; i feel it does have some merits the original doesn't. we'll see if either of them is worth taking a secondary look for the contest, of course.

here are the comments from the original picture:

...Orange Guy standing behind a plant with his tongue bandaged to Skeleton Man's skull.

Skeleton Man's surprised to see such a display of affection. then there's Blue Ninja and Red Sage. and the backdrop is the illustrious Purple City.

slight lack of caffeine.

done entierly in MSPaint using the standard paint palette. bit of a challenge for myself there.

watching and mostly waiving the copyright here, since this image created the characters, who themselves are simply par for the contest. do what you want with these guys so long as it isn't commercial and you at least mention me.


red still luffs yuu.

really.
