[RIOT Art Contest] - DrMundo
Hey Everyone! This here is my first post. 
I decided to work on this guy because, well, why not?! Just a big lad with an even bigger smile! Not the most dynamic pose but I'm very fond of it.
Sketch with value and color studies.
At first I had Mundo in a well lit alley and I really liked it. Problem is I don't want the focus away from the doc. So I opted for a much simpler BG.
I like the doc destroying stuff...

Here's my first color test for Yojimbo Mundo. As always no details, just trying to find the right atmosphere. I'll add some sort of fog that permeates through the foreground - give some sense to that reflective light happening on Mundo's left side.
Yakuza tats and possible bling chains will be added near the end of this piece
I think I need to calibrate my monitors. It looks way too light when I post my images online
Wish I had more time for Mundo this past week but at least I finally started my full res size. Overall feel will be somewhat like this...
I started to get some detailing on Mundo as well. Here, I like the process of placing my characters on a dark grey back drop to focus on them. (Of course I turn on the BG layer every now and then to make sure the chara's color/light is still consistent)
