Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! I found a black and white photo of an elderly lady sitting by a window and did a closeup study of…
Hello everyone! I started this likeness study of Corey Taylor the other day and then thought "why not making it a full 3d character?" So I'll try to update this thread with the wips.

Here are some environments I did in B&W value first then experimented with color schemes. I did some environment thumbnail studies AFTER that (yes, I know, backwards but I realized I needed to do some environment studies after I had done the first set).

So here was yesterdays quick attempt, lots that needs changing, but just gotta improve today :) Focus on shoulder and upper torso.
Agreed on studying Quake 3, IMHO the best resource for oldschool textures. :poly124: Yes, I'm a hopeless Kenneth Scott fangirl. :poly136: These character shots may help: http://earthli.com/quake/warriors.php But I would really recommend getting the game if you don't have it, and studying the flats for yourself!
The difference here is that b1ll actually paints his stuff, you just traced photos. There's not a lot of study or learning in tracing a photo and pulling colors from it. If you want to do a study of a photo, have in on a second monitor and just *paint* it, like you would if you were looking at a live model.
