Here is a color pass on the image. Still need to do a lot of work to push the background further back and pop Irelia and her swords more. I'm still debating on whether I should add motion blur to the swords. It might look cheesy and I didn't see any of the LOL Champion portraits using motion blur. At most they use some…
So I was getting a little burned out with my current project and decided to take a little break. I was feeling nostalgic and decided to do a portrait of Raphael from the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I wanted to do something where the turtle characteristics were more pronounced. The scales are inspired from a galapagos…

just a quick one here-- Firebert covered a lot already I'd get rid of everything on your 2D after the Mucha paint. While it may be illustrative of your personality, it's just not portfolio material. If you want that section to show your range of skill then try your hand at some concepts and orthos-- that way you're showing…

The 'Jaws' and 'Farmer George' characters I'd remove, they're your weakest pieces. On sub-Zero I'd copy and rotate the smoke plane 90° to give it some volume. The gun has some obvious smoothing issues. The horse is your best work, though giving it two different sections for the high/low is still something you might want to…
I just want to know when we'll get non point lights to play with in engines. Spherical harmonics and light maps are good hacks in the meantime, but they don't respect the character moving around in the environment the way a light with a 3d position would. I can't imagine trying to make a good portrait with just bare light…

Well, now i'm trying to create a bust of Peter the Great (/the First). Unfortunately i've jammed nearly at 60k points in ZBrush, because he has a lots of portraits but on each of them he looks different, so i can't decide which of them i should finalize. Therefore, i'm waiting for your recommendations about him. Also i'm…
