I can't say much about the Demon centaur lady, except that maybe her arms are too long, but then that could just be an illusion created by the short torso.
her head might be too large.
I would shift her torso a bit backwards, so the transition between the human torso and the human like fore legs have a more natural transition, but idk if thats was your intend.
@trancerobot: sorry, but i'll post more now then
here are some 2D doodles
and some 3D doodling on a face
The katana's (3 swords = badass) ;D
the iterations on the concept, from thumbnail to 3/4 model concept.
and a rhino (duno if it's spelled like that)
You should keep her moustache
Anyway, here's another doodle.
As you may have noticed...he has *almost* no throat hehehehe. Well ahem....not going to sculpt without references for a while now atleast
If you take the above image in photoshop, and do say...brightess +100, contrast +40-45, I find it looks a lot better and easier to read. At least on my end. And while this is a crappy, old, fullscreen, early model LCD that gives me daily headaches - it's somewhat decently calibrated.
Example:
...that was just one thing that jumped out at me.
Other than that, I can only recommend doing some more studies. Study some solid poses. Your linework in some of these is pretty good, but it seems inconsistent. Once you've got that down, I think you can safely dive more into some heavier rendering.
Oh and just for the record I'm only really making note of the 2D. I'm not a 3D artist and so don't feel I can say too much there.
I'll be training on poses, linework and rendering then
Testing the settings (+levels)
As far as poses go, a friend of mine sent me this a long time ago, it's a really good reference for making good dynamic poses: IFX- Strike A Pose
Keep at it!
doodle - testing to pose a char again (anatomy bugs indeed, but what to expect from a fast doodle)
Damnit! My weakness has been exposed -> Hands. I'll stop slacking with the hand studies and start making some progress on that part, I promise...really!
Here's an update on the pose I previously posted (this is not the hand study, i'll get there tho!) : )
As for the studies on the hands...yeah - it's showdown bit***s! I did a few lineart hands, and learned ALOT just by doing those (and a few more that...weren't that incredible lol).
note: they're 96-120 tris each.
This, as you can see is 1 wooden plank sculpted and textured - tho still not 100% finished. The image is a printscreen from the Maya viewport using 1 spotlight. I'll finish it in the morning, promise!
Nothing is too hard for this guy.......zombie hordes? pff, he can solo anything!
this is a skeeetchh
Though whats with all the headless dudes?
