Sijun Forums :: View topic - critique on an elven quaker! (work in progress)

This is definately a work in progress, but I would really like some advice on the overall composition at this point.
For example...proportionally is his head to small?
would a dark background make him fade too much into the background?
Basically any advice is welcome.
Feel free to use your ImageEnhancers to view it at full res.

Enjoy.

I think it will turn up great just what a quaker should look like.

Just a suggestion but might want to make his head face forward a bit more..right now looks like he's examining his shoelaces or omsething. The head is just fine.. looks a bit small because of all the heavy armor its wearing.... if you want to you can make his head a bit bigger, but shouldn't really affect the image. Btw, I recommend that you block in the shades first in order to find out if you messed up on anything because the leg in front right now looks like it's turned backwards.

This is coming along quite nicely. The neck might be stretched out a little too much with the face a little to far forward. The spine doesn't seem to be curving a great deal to compliment this idea of leaning forward. Someone suggested that he was looking down at his shoelaces, I think you could overcome this when you give the character pupils. If you put them high enough in the eye it will probably give an attitude of 'what 'cha looking at.

........ i would start off with your name but i have no clue what it says.

I agree, it is coming along nicely. Maybe you should give him a mask ... or something to the face to make it a little more interestring.

I appreciate you guys giving me your input.
ex: my name is basically Lynncelot, it's a long story.

The hair hasn't even been started yet to answer that other question.
I am hoping the neck looks longer when I do some shading on to it to show that he even has a neck.
I agree with the pupils. That was my plan...head down...lookin straight at ya.
Anyone got an idea for a background....should he be on steps or stepping on a body?

Thanks again,
-Lynn
