Old warrior

[DuRanG]

its a very good art here. no problems with the anatomy (maybe the head is too big, not sure). very good expression, liked it. but the body skin is a problem.. theres too much contrast in it, it just doesnt looks real. ah, the left arm mussles, theres something strange there. overall, a very good job :thumbsup:

After first colorization of the warrior I had to stop working for some time... and in 2 years I have found this WIP... and decided to finish it... so... I've painted his face, hair and background during one night.. Now you can see the final result....
The warrior seems much older in 2 years, doesn't he? :cool:
anyway... I'm waiting for your comments :wavey:

I think the background is excellent! I love the clouds and the colour choices. I think the anatomy is a little off though. Your friend doesn't quite have the build for all those muscles, so when you added them, they wound up looking very cramped. I would make the shoulders wider, to begin with. And his right arm is fairly undefined.

Another thing, the definition of the muscles is a little harsh, as someone mentioned. Did you use a burn tool to make those shadows? They never do a great job. I think you need to bring the colour scheme of the background into the figure even more. Work some of the colours into the shadows.

Lastly, there seems to be a canvas texture to the hair. Is this a brush you used or some jpg distortion? Overall, I like it, just a few crits, since you asked. :)

Hey..this is pretty good for your first attempt:thumbsup:
I agree with the others about the anatomy being off. It's especially apparent on the left arm(his left).
Try to avoid using black for shadows, especially on skin. It has a tendency to make your colors look dirty. Also, if you look around you will notice that there are very few shadows that are actually black.
One more tip: Try painting the hair first using bigger blocks of color. Then go in and add individual strands.

This is a great start. Looking forward to seeing more:beer:
