Hey Everyone!

The basis of this image was a pencil sketch by Jason Badower (http://www.froggy.com.au/badower/), which I have taken into photoshop.

This was mainly a learning experience, but I'd thought I'd post it here to see what people think.

well at first it all seemed mediocre but after looking at it for a second this image has really sent my mind for a spin. Totally killer concept.

the whole concept creeps me out... but your coloring and drawing is not bad. :)

just a note : If you're having the light flowing in from the window like that, I think there will be some noticable shadows and highlights about his person... er... sorry.. am not that good at explaining myself... but now, the pic looks pretty flat. and like the light was just pasted on...

ok. that's my 2 cents in dollars... :p

yeah, more contrast on his front side due to the light coming from behind him, also watch the soft shadow on the floor from his foot, it should be darker right up next to the foot...interesting blend of traditional and computer 2d!

Cool thanks dude, but as I mentioned I can't take all the credit, I just did the photoshopy stuff.

I kinda know what your getting at... its mentioned in the next post.

Its about as dark as you can get before the image becomes recognisable, I also thought that angles are luminous beings, and his glow, is slowly fading as the blood flows out.


Thanks for all your comments guy's.
