The purple in the background doesn't contrast teh character enough to make him pop out. I'd also put more emphasis on your edges like MoP suggested. GOod rendering though.. marker or digital?
Ruz that's some great sculpting, love all the subtleties in the face and upper body, especially the arms. Xenobond, love the ninja, it's perfect Just mucking about in Silo and an anime head popped out. No plans to finish it, maybe I'll get some texture practice in.
just a few sctratches and nicks, the rest of the blade looks slightly battered while the buisness end is clean. it would have been even more worn then sharpened back up again so it needs to reflect that process. also darken the corners of the indent as these wouldnt get as clean and will add pop
serofin, the leaf necklace is probably the only thing with some real depth. Everything else looks really flat. It's definitely a good start to the texture, but it looks far from complete (well to me anyway). You need to get back in there and throw in some shadows and highlight to make this character pop. -caseyjones
Oh thanks Dizzy that's good to know! I'll hunt around this next time. Started on the little friend: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/pior_ubb/wip_012.png GOTCHA! Woooooosh! YOU'RE MINE! Needs the mandatory short shorts still. Also have to figure out something for the ears popping through the helmet :P
@jibowski: great one, the colors rock! @rens: looks pretty fine to me; for a bit more female tweaks i tried to get some point on a paintover, dont know if it contains enough informations (or if its too confusing), just some random points that my brain pops out when i make female forms:
ye DC good stuff mate watch his thumb. his hands are bent inwards (i like that) but the thumb isnt following from the inside, the inside of the hand looks a little flat. get some flesh around the thumb showing, it should be popping out more. ill go work on my english meanwhile
cheers aesir b1ll - face is spot on. lots of attitude Vailias - looking good so far. teeth are a real pain at times. alexk - love the atmos in that piece. the glass is a bit clean though maybe? HEx - looking good so far man - barrels need to pop a bit more, looking a bit too difffuse IMHO
Nice text corv, dig the moles on the back, I think some stronger highlights and shadows in some places would really make it pop. So an hour or two turned into next day, had to get some sleep before the midnight harry potter release. I decided to change the hues also added more color variation.
Damn nice Snowfly. Her pose and attitude are great, and the foreground/background red/blue split really pop her out. Can't say I like the spiky leg things and the rendering of the butt cloak she's got though. Looks to me like she has some sort of metallic forcefield apparatus in place to cup her explosive farts. :P
