so this one startet as a speedy. I found a sniper image and i really wanted to know if i could simplify the image. I tried to get the helmet right and i liked how it turned out. So i worked on. And finished this one in about 3 hours or so. I spent more time in thinking befor drawing. Hope you like it

awesome simplification, see. obviously the values are more towards the realism side than the stylistic/dramatic side. and i think you know how to make the values dramatic... so, i'd suggest doing that. see what happens.
keep up the great work. |

Awesome study object, and great result.
To me though, the squinting eye feels a bit "naked", like it's missing wrinkles either in the corner of the eyelid or shade over the eyelid. Or maybe a darker shade between the eye and the nose. Or eyelashes maybe? Heh, I dunno really but somehow it feels "naked" to me.
(I'm well aware that the ref might look exactly like this, I'm just saying.) |

This piece is fantastic. I loaded it three times just to check it out again. The first few times I was overwhelmed by all the details. If this is the simplified version, I wonder what the original looks like.
That having been said, it looks like there is a lot of bright lighting comeing from the top, on the follage/material on the helmet and on the weapon. Wouldn't it cast a bit more of a shadow on the guy?
Perhaps not, and the photo might have shown some. But with that bright of light across the whole face it looks just a bit flat.
Great work! |

thanks for your comments. 
I think its all about large painting and texturing to"fool" the eye. I only detailed a few parts and left more unfinished. I wanted a drawn look, not that almost perfect photorealistic art.
Thanks for the good suggestions!
@tttia_: I tried different lighting-situations but remained by a frontal light almost like in the ref.
@ jo: waahh, eyes. its sooo hard doing them right. I always start doing mouth, nose .. but fail a hundred times doing good looking eyes. But the longer i look at the squinting eye the more i have to agree with you.
@odds: Thx. Im not soo good in doing stylistic stuff. I like realistic, loosy drawn images. 
see u |
