๐ Part of the *beep* research, sketch, trial and error we made for the EAM was testing out hundreds of different shapes and color combinations.
โฌ๏ธ Look, this EAMiE was one of the first we *bloop* colored and added a background to:
๐ญ But something feels *bop* off...
ยท EAMiE feels gigantic in front of this background, when they're actually really small creatures.
ยท Black lines on every detail feels overloaded.
ยท Colors don't play well together, they pop too much it feels overwhelming to our eyes.
ยท Background is too saturated.
ยท Background doesn't help either putting the EAMiE in context or making it stand out.
โฌ๏ธ Now, with these thoughts in mind, take a look at this EAMiE:
ยท Colored lines make the details smoother and fine.
ยท Color palette is in-between pastels and fully saturated tones, so the character stands out without being annoyingly jazzy.
ยท Background is simpler and comes with a light hazy white layer on top, to help highlighting the EAMiE and adding depth to the artwork.

๐ผ The process of *beep* experimenting and improving the artwork is essential for us.
Although there's been more than 6 months of work, we're still finding new ways of making it better and better, and that's what excites us the *bop* most.
