An image that began as a doodle. The only real problem I have had is the Dreadlocks(or snakelocks) as I ain't sure of the best way to do them right. Should I just draw each of them individually or is there some fun and interesting way to do it in another way?



Help appreciated

not bad man just it kinda looks like a egyptian staue to me like the texture of his face and shoulder pad look like a sand texture also with the dreadlocks try to um like in a down direction but make the ends kind of go of in sligtly diferent directions if that made sense get to it!

Yeah I know what you mean and I am gonna try.

When you mentioned the egyptian look I agree, maybe I have been watching too much StarGate Sg1 :P

Wow, that's pretty neat stuff. I like how you did the shadow on that spike, gives the image some depth. Looks like your work is progressing, keep it up!

*note about texturing, if you are aiming for the realistic look of a texture (as you have attempted on his shoulder armor) you may have to draw out the texture you want. Or attempt to anyway, it's better to recreate the texture than to attempt to apply it directly. If you do, your work will tend to look a bit flat (because of the texture being 2 dimentional). If you draw it out, paying special attention to your perspectives, you'll end up with something far better. just my .02.

Thanks,
I agree the overlay thingy tends to get flat, although it adds texture. Something I got as a bad habit from skinning. Maybe I should try custom brushes. See whether it works better.

You given me an idea for something to draw, I love the preditor movies, the texture looks good, i dont have much to say about the pic, but maybe you could put a background to it, but if its a profile maybee not. I'm going to watch my preditor vid's.
