[Riot Art Contest] - Katarina

Niwelz

Hello everyone !
Just decided to participate, and chose Katarina. I'm not a native speaker so my english could be wrong, hope it won't be the case though !
Anyway here is my first WIP, just sketching ideas of eventual poses.

So here is my Katarina slowly coming to life!
Will add more values later.
The man facing her is obviously Garen
Used the 3d model from Loking for both of them:

And used both of their SplashArt

Some values added and modifications on the gloves and the boots!

Any critiques would be appreciated ^-^

I was wondering how people manage to put the pictures in big so if someone knows i would be pleased to be informed

Niwelz

Finished the value on Katarina, gonna do Garen and then the background.

Niwelz

Just a little add of colours and polishing around values. Background will be soon there, as well as the colours. Was pretty busy for the moment
Don't hesitate to comment and give your opinions

Hey I think you'll get more feedback with bigger images. After you attach them in the attachment manager, click the paperclip icon and select your attachment to place it inside your post! Anyway, Kat's eyes look like they are looking past Garen off to the right, I'm sure you want to make sure she's looking right at him!

Niwelz

Oh thank you for the information and your feedback, I really appreciate it !

Niwelz

Finished the colour of both characters and began the background. Will polish the colour soon. Don't pay too much attention to the red circle I changed Katarina's eyes thanks to Jasper! But I still thinkk something is wrong so I might change it
I'm really bad at backgrounds, that's probably what's gonna cause me most troubles I wish I had the level of people here but yeah i'm still learning!

Any feedback would be appreciated!

And I must be probably stupid but I really cant put these pictures even with Jasper's explaination u_u I selected the paperclip icon but it just put a link...

Hey there!
Posted a new wip of my Katarina. I've added a lot on the background.
I've realised by watching other posts that i didn't really have the level for this contest (i didn't expect to have it) but well at least I've improved. I saw a lot of mistakes on my drawing, things that could be improved (perspective, add more dynamism, better values, better rending...) but I guess i'm gonna try to fix these even if it's far away from what i'm used to do. I'm happy already with what I did.
I have used a lot of CUBEBRUSH references in youtube such as https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfuSwjeKbWk .
