For those that dont look at the sketches topic, would like some constructive crit on my character (im working it up, this is a about a 5min WIP)



Not to happy with the sword arm and hand doesnt look right and the head is kinda off as well ... any advice?

[Turnsky]

This Could Help you a bit..  (especially the hands and face)

[Sheepy]

the main idea of the face is that you cant see much of it, but i cant get it to look quite right, but is there anything you think i should add/remove/change.

BTW i was trying to make it look like he was walking towards you, but atm its just looks as if hes standing, ok i know atm he has no legs and they will help, but other than that and suggestions?

[Turnsky]

hmmm.... let me get back to you on that one *scribble* *scribble*

[Sheepy]

update, looks like hes on the move now, just his arm has gone major weird, looks like its going away and towards you at the same time ... hmmm

Updato



gonna leave it for now till i get some (if any ) feedback

Big, pointy sword+ Big, feathery wings curling around in front of him+guy running= somebody who won't be flying much of anywhere




What is it with the wings thing now, anyway? Is it not a drawing until at least one person is a bewinged freak? Is this some kinda anime thing, like the disturbing women with cat ears? Or is it just that y'all want everyone to be able to fly, and can't draw a decent rocket backpack?

[Sheepy]

nah, mines a FF thing, Sephiroth an incarnation of pure evil and a ***** with a sword was tagged "one winged angel"

I just loved the character and adapted it abit, gave my guy the pair and his sword and voila ... my guy

[Turnsky]

Hmmm... very good... nice job with hands too, they can be a real ***** to do properly..

[Sheepy]

Think i should leave it, or try and do more to it?

[Turnsky]

You show great promise  yes i think you should continue with it..

heh..


at he's not doin it Chibi...

Gah, i seriously dont have a clue what to add to this atm, ill try PS'ing it abit tomorrow, dont have a clue how to do it properly though so will be a botch job prob, got any other handy links/advice, or anything else i could add to the image?

[Turnsky]

yeah, a few steps i follow.. (that inked?)

1. scan line art in @300 dpi (no less) in greyscale..
2. got  to image -> Mode -> Bitmap. This will remove any unwanted flecks..
3. then convert to RGB using a varied method of step 2.. and you've got clean line art on your hands..

good luck

[Sheepy]

cheers, ill sort it out after i get back from work tomorrow, as much as i want to do it now 12:30 is not quite the time to scan things in when your scanner vibrates everything around it and your parents are asleep in the room below

Sheepy, that's just too frikken' cool. Nice work, hope to see you finish this guy.

[Sheepy]

After some time of trying to hand ink a 'clean' copy of the outline and getting frustrated with bits that didnt match, (the hand just wouldnt play this time) i decided to re-scan the original sketch in an try and play around in PS to clean it up abit.

So i did that, i kinda liked the hand draw lines so i left them (that and i couldnt be arsed spending hours going over them in PS to make them neater )

Anyways, just being playing with the coat and shading and heres the result .. piccy



not too happy with it in places but shouldnt take much to sort it out, not bad for a first attempt at using PS for this kind of work i would say
