Dimmu Borgir rocks!
Your colours and lighting are rahter excessive. Yet the figures are still flat to look at, meaning that the shading is applied whitout the proper knowledge. Or your control of the digital medium is limited.
I'd suggest you spend time with your pencil doing some still life images of your surroundings to learn about light and form.
Keep it up!

dont use just one value. shadows on skin arent dark shades of brown.
there are greens, blues, purples, reds.... |

i'd suggest using lower opacities to blend your colors rather than the smudge tools.
keep at it.
http://www.3dluvr.com/content/article/49 - a little more basic in terms of color. almost paint by numbers and then smooth. it might suite your style.
but just look around, there are plenty of tutorials and information on color theory and rendering. especially right here on this forum. |
