Title: Bet you thought I'd given up...
Post by: Fineus on May 18, 2003, 08:50:07 am
Yep, for the first time in god knows how long I finished a little something - my first attempt based on a combination of Turnskys work, Applegeeks and Machall. I give you, Kaos:

if the jaw were more symmetrical it would be really good... now it's just good :p

no really, the shadows are great for example. It's just the head that's bugging me :)

Cheers guys, yeah a mate of mine who lives locally leveled that the head was wonky and his hand was to thin/wrong. I can appreciate that :)

I love the style it has...so much attitude and the way that the shadows play over the drawing...the only point of light being in his hand.  Brilliant!

I like it :)

Though it seems he has either very small or no brains when you look at the position of the eyes. Eyes are supposed to be in the middle of the head IIRC :p

When im motivated i think my technique is fine, that angel guy was pretty much a doodle, its was only half way through i started putting some effort into it, that be the reason its so scruffy :D
