tiny warrior girl (no nudity at all)

[LoTekK]

This looks hilarious. :) I like the style you've got going, and the girl exudes an air of [over?] confidence. Nice composition, too; I'm liking the strong diagonals. Looking forward to updates. :)

[pixel-challenged]

quick note: the sword looks as if it is pointed up. If this is what you're going for then fine. But if pointing forward, it's not drawn correctly.

[jmBoekestein]

I'm impressed, no nudity and dramatic effect. Cool picture, and I don't even like to much comicy stuff. :thumbsup:

[Squibbit]

her nostils are pretty far apart

why she got four of them in the first place ? :curious:

Looks fun!

Hi guys, thanks for replying.

LoTekk: thanks!
Pixel: You're right, i'l correct the perspective of the sword to follow the direction of the arm, thanks!
jmBoekestein: Hi, thanks! now that I think of it, the breasts plate could pop up for a more dramatic effect, jejejeje.
Squibbit: What Snows said.
Snows: What you said. The dots besides her mouth are little holes that form when she yells or giggles.

Ok, i'll tackle the wacom again now, thanks so much for the encouragement.

Salut!

Wow, I want to see this one finished. :thumbsup:
The fighter looks so cool, and the whole picture got a nice dynamic, although im not sure what is what in some parts of the background creature thingy behind her.

[Sir-Patroclo]

Hi, here's a small try on coloring (not very happy with it yet). Replaced the thing in the background with some mountains, and added a small happy creature in the foreground (but not happy with that either, too cliche i think)...

gonna rework on this, not to inspired today

Can't believe there's no nudity ^^

Looks awesome.

[BrittanyRichardson]

how cute! It looks great so far, I like the color choices. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

and I like the tiny creature... maybe add more, like a small army of tiny creatures? just a thought.

[Sir-Patroclo]

Hi, thanks for the comments so far...

went back to the sketching, now i'm happier with the whole thing

You gonna paint them? :D

j/k the castle looks good. nice improvement

[Sir-Patroclo]

jeje, maybe you could see some trough the windows...

a question: just noticed there's a giant X in the middle of the canvas, made from the tail of the snake and the arm with the sword. Theoretically is the biggest no-no of composition, but the strenght of the lines sweeping to the left seems to counter it, so if i fade the tail colors into the sky, it may be no problem. Could anybody give me her/his opinions on this?

Thanks

Hey good to see you back in wacom land again.

I actually like the cross in the middle of the screen. Only thing is, its dead centre of the pic, and there is not much going on there. Youre eyes are drawn to the chick, because of the detail going on there. Maybe bring the tail of the snake back to behind her head to make it less distracting, and bring the focus back to the pick.

Also I think the perspective of the hand and sword is a bit dodgy. It should look like she is thrusting her hand/sword forward, but the perspective tells me she is holding it upright. It looks a bit 2d, if you know what I mean.

And I think you should put the fish back in somehere, if only as a nice little thing for the viewer to find after looking at it a few times.

See you around, and good luck!

[Sir-Patroclo]

Hi mr. Vlieg,

thanks for the comments. You seem to be pointing out the same issue with the sword that pixel-challenged did, but I can't see it yet... actually, i see it for a second and then it makes sense again... even did a 3d sword to check the perpectives against the sketch... weird, i'll model an arm too to better guidance... I'll consider putting the fish somewhere, jeje.

This is where i got today, had to do some css searching but still was able to spend a very much enjoyed time with the pic. Just blocking in color and shapes on the girl, nothing too detailed (i hope, i want to try a new approach to coloring).

Well, i'll continue tomorrow.

Salut!

Hello sir!
This will look great I think, your heading into a nice direction!

[Supervlieg]

Maybe this clears thing up, mr. Sith.
I think it had to do with the positioning of the hand, and the 3d-ness of the thing between the blade and the handle.

[Sir-Patroclo]

Alex: thanks!
Alice: Hi, long time no see, thanks for the words.
mr. Vlieg: yey, thanks, that was the problem indeed!

I'll contiunue coloring today, salut!

Sir Patroclo

[Sir-Patroclo]

here's a small update of the coloring on the girl, and in the heading of the sword... once the sword has some color on it i'll tackle the baclground to make it consistent (again, i'm not the one to say "block everything first, then details... jejeje, I just needed to know that the warrior girl was alive while working on the pic)...

hi, small update. changed a bit the proportions of the canvas. the snake isn't gone, but i'm deciding either go with "summoning of the snake" or "summoning of the sanke-riding cavalry"...

Salut!

[Supervlieg]

Looking good, the colors are great as ever. Check the thumb though. I think it should be folded across the other fingers. I think it should recide somewhere between the index and middle finger. Check your own fist, and you should notice it.

keep on rocking!

Lovely work. Great Job.

This is probably coming way too late (I've been off the boards for a while), but the way it's drawn, looks as if her thumb is too long, due to the direction of the sword. I can't explain it any better, but in terms of a rough description of a fix, you can "rotate" the sword counter-clockwise slighty. Again, this comment is probably coming too late.

A more appropriate fix is probably to simply fix the way the hand is drawn, as manipulating the sword will throw off the perspective and balance of the piece. And as already mentioned by another poster, the thumb should be resting on her other fingers differently.

As a whole the piece looks good.

[Sir-Patroclo]

Hi, thanks guy for posting. I've taken a break with this piece because i got bored while tackling the background and decided to let it rest a while. So started a new pic, centered on character to continue practicing lighting and the new painting technique... so when i'm done with it i'll return to this one.

About the thumb, yes, I see what you mean, i think the whole hand is a bit off... but maybe bending the thumb to cover more of the index helps to get away with it, I'll keep this in mind.

Thanks!

Salut, Sir Patroclo
