Ok, I did a complete makeover of my previous knight, and I think it looks better. Here goes:
old file:
knight1
I see now that the other one was far off the mark but I think my lighting is still off, though I can't put a finger on it, especially the forward facing breastplates, something awkward there. I also darkened the bushes on the right, where the light is coming from. Do I need more contrast for the metal? It's supposed to be dull metal though. |

i think the breastplates look to prominent. The position of the axe makes no sense...he isn't resting it on his shoulder so just holding it like that would probably require a lot of effort. The armor somehow doesn't look like it has enough joints to make it flexible.
The perspective on the axe isn't working too well IMO.
I like the new version a lot more... |

Even for heroic proportions, the head seems too small. Also, the upper half of the body is facing one way, while the lower is facing another (are they truly connected?).
I'd put on a heftier axe handle and his hand is off a tad (the axe would go through his neck). I'm on board with the captain's remarks, as well.
I have to say I really like the lighting and atmosphere, but there are just a lot of anatomy issues. |
