oii! i did this over the past few days, off and on, and figgured i'd post the damn thing
i'm pretty happy with the black and white version, but i've got a feeling that the color version is a little messed up.. i am color blind
(red-green) anyway there's all sorts of stuff borring about the color that i could fix up, but i'm getting bored with this fellow so i think i'll give him a post.
edit: my friend just told me about the eyes/lips color issues. maybe i'll go back to him later..

I think his nipples should be a little more defined and tinted, although I can't quite tell from the angle of the shots.
You have such nice shoulder & arm (whats left of it anyways ) musculature, I could learn a lot from your example
Can't wait to see him tweaked up!
-DK =^..^=
DeathKitten- you're totaly right about the nipples for sure. if i go back to him i'll nail them right out. hehe
Too much grey, John. Seriously, get some color into this poor fellow. Grey != shadow. Dump some blues and reds into him.
I have no idea whats going on above the clavicle(seriously, what are those folds about?) Maybe root some of that area more in anatomy study?
The grey definitely looks much better than the coloring. You've got an interesting mix of photosourcing and painting, it seems. Try and bridge the gaps a bit more, though.
stoofoo- dude, you're totaly right. if it's one thing i really need to break down to the fundementals and re-learn, it's color.. mixing it, painting with it. gah.. it's so damn frustrating too because the only way i know i haven't colored skintone green or haven't put 200% of the redness i need in certain areas is with the eye dropper tool. i must find away around this. hehe as far as the clavicle area, yah, it's hilariously crap. i basicaly just doodled something in there. taht whole area's a little bit crazy on the model, because there's no room for the sternomastoids(?).. anyway, bleh.
i think when doing speed models you probably find out what sections you don't fully apprecieate because you graise overthem. interesting.
anyway man i apprecieate the crits. cheers.
weiser_Cain - yah, it's a tad bit frustrating hehe
