I would tell you why I am doing this...But Id have to shoot you.
So theres a reason why its all black around him with a little glow and all.
This was fun to paint. Deffenetly my best painting of a Dwarf...er...my only painting of a Dwarf.

I call him.

Crits are welcome. Im sure there is stuff to fix. Id probable see it later after I sleep or something seeing as Ive been staring at it for hours strait. So Ill trust your eyes for now.

Thanks
Blitz

I really like the lighting and how you pulled it off, keeping most of him in shadow. The colors are nice and subdued too.

The only crit I would have is that he looks kind of lifeless, like he's a wooden statue and not a real, living dwarf. The hair looks more like straw than hair, and I think that contributes to the statue look.

So what's he for?

He's kind of sad looking...
I like the black and the glow...(but thats just my style)
I think the nose could be a little less blurry...
cuz it stands out so much....
Other than that a great pic....keep it up....

Oooh pretty

Wow Levi.. you're improving tons! I like this a lot.. it's diffrernt from most fantasy artwork.. the realistic lighting kind of clashes with the linework, but that's ok because it's like this guy exists in real life and is being lighted naturally (in real life).. umm comprendo? Kind of like taking a fantasy character from a movie or something and plopping him into our world with our lighting. Right.

Matt here (at work) sez it looks like those carved statues.. like lawn gnomes. The coloring is kinda gritty and textured like that

A suggestion for practice -- try painting a character that's being lighted by the sun.. in other words, yellow lighting and blue shadows. Kind of a study piece. I think if you stretch yourself like that, you'll find yourself understanding color better and improving.

Nova: Thanks, Im glad you like it. And Im glad Matt liked it...or at least it sounds like he liked it

Ooooooo, I like it! Gods, you're really improving in leaps and bounds, aren't you?

Blitz · Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2001 7:45 pm

RRoam:...HAHAHAHAH....I love that guy. I think he is fun to watch. Yah, there is nothing like a big ass shnoz to help things along. =)

Poprocksz · Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2001 9:08 pm

thanx for the line art..
now i can see the whole picture(haha)

still think you should fix that nose...
maybe make it pop out more....

but what do I know.....

Pretty cool. I am a little dissapointed though. I think you lost some of the character and artistic quality from the line-art to the painting. Sow Fink a 'bout tit!
