thank you.. very much so..

EDIT: Venom.. i'm now working on yours..., i've already drawn up the basic design concepts of your knight, and when i get the chance, i'll post the pic up..

[Turnsky]

UPDATE:Ignore the 'runes' bordering the page, they're for another project ..

this is just a concept, i realise i've screwed up some of the proportioning, but i was concentrating more on the design of the armor itself more than anything else..

hence.. why i think that i did a **** job on this sketch

[Raptor]

Well, I think it quite good actually, kinda reminds me of a Space Marine in power armour (40k), with the extra wide shin sections.

Little vague around the left arm, but after all, it is just a sketch.

overall:  Heck your very good all round. maybe you'll be the next Leonardo Di Vica

[Taristin]

Di Vica...

[Setekh]

Anyway, he's right... kinda. I've been looking over the past pages of this thread - you got some pretty impressive stuff dude, well worth the modem-melt.

[icespeed]

im not sure the square helm of the knight totally fits in with the rounded contours of the rest of his armour.

and: what problems with proportion? its a sketch, its supposed to be rough...

[Turnsky]

i'm my own worst critic.. go figure:p

That's a good sign. Your standards are increasing.

But sometimes its just purely annoying to be your own worst critic I had that last time with FRED, I forced myself to redo the mission 6 times before I was satisfied. Worked friggin' 2 weeks on a single mission

welcome to my personal hell.. i've actually changed a couple of panels in foxfire, because later down the road, i thought that they were crap..

[HotSnoJ]

The longer I spend on a render, the more satisfied I am at the end. That's pretty important to me - it's worth paying the time for, I think. Well, you grow into it.

[Turnsky]

i kinda figured it was long overdue for a new pic for myself, so here it is... and note.. I made the starfield, and the moon too..

[Gortef]

Superb!

[Setekh]

Beautiful and a half, man. But seeing as you are rapidly advancing with the quality of your art, I'm going to poke a hole in it - for your own good. Okay, let's check out the foreground. That's a few blades of grass, out of focus; right. Then there's you, and you're in focus; right. Then the next layer of grass, out of focus. Bing! Depth of field is limited already, between the first and second layers of grass. The moon is out of focus, that's consistent. But your starfield, beautiful as it is, is crystal clear. It really is very nice but the moon especially looks terribly out of place blurred like that. I know you can do better.

Of course, you know I mean you well. :yes:

i've made the moon look better, i've only blurred it slightly so the edges aren't sharp..

note: have you ever noticed that stars, and planetary bodies are usually in focus (in most shot's that i've seen.. )

Most shots with nice starscapes are taken with infinite depth of field, so the stars will come out. Anyway, as for planetary bodies being in focus - that's exactly what I meant. The moon should be in focus. It's much better now.

[Turnsky]

oddly enough, i did this when lunarcell crapped itself over for one reason or another.. so, a made my own..

[Setekh]

Well, thank God for that.

What's your progress on the RPG lately?
