well I have posted here once before. Got some harsh stuff back.. but it opened my eyes a bit. SO here we go again... about my 7th atempt at CG, only using mouse and pen and paper.
I am still learning so I welcome tips to better artistry... oh I wanna lean more about lighing so how is this lighting wise?

pretty cool. could use a more dramatic light source, but that's just a compositional decision, not right or wrong.
My big question though, is which leg is in front and which is in back? The arrangement at his hips (especially with the laser gun) seems different than below, with the foot hidden behind the other leg. This is where something like a better light source, or more dramatic perspective would come in handy. |

Im also confused as to the legs..
have you done any anatomy and/or perspective studies?
yes dramatic lighting would help but I think you need to more clearly define the anatomy of this characters body.
Its looking good, I especialy like the face, but it still needs some tweaking in the anatomy mostly. Keep it up! |

Thanks.. yeah I think the hips are confusing because of the (pretty dull) gun... If the gun was gone I think it'd be clearer...
The foot on the ground was meant to be his left one (outstretched arm side)... and the one in the air his right (same side as his sword arm)... I think I made some mistakes there it might be confusing because of the wrinkles in pants? Yeah its confusing...
I have heard elsewhere that the sword is funny (hah butterknife)... the hair (highlights)...and the bent arm (too wide)
Would it be too much to ask someone to do a quick digital tutoring (draw over the picture) as to fixing the lighting ( i can upload the bad lineart). Because I suck at light sourcing..its new to me. Was originally going to do two light sources (two colours) but I can't choose the right colours for it.
No formal education if thats what you mean... Art is a hobby for me. Have spent ost of this year trying to fix my anatomy... as to perspective... no not really.
This post is too long so later, look forward to response. |
