Character: Medievil Guy

[matsman]

Nice! Nothing fancy but very nice.

Your colours are a bit saturated, the blue and red... that is a personal preference but I like some more muddling :p when painting.

And when finished with the blocking I would add some fine accessoires... to create some interest and visual detail. Also the nose is a bit long for my liking.

Nice start.. good pose proportions seem ok.

Now go on and make it fancy :D

I'll look into some color variations.... shortened the nose, will show it next update :thumbsup:

Yep he's planned to have at least a weapon at his side and some fancy accesories here and there :D Oh and the backdrops just a temp will add in something interesting later on

Changed the colors to a darker theme, shortened nose sharpened up the details

Looks very different now with the blue colour. I like it better but darker less saturated red was also a good option I think. But definitely an improvement.

The face also looks a little more natural now with the shortened nose. I just noticed that the perspective on the swordhilt seems a bit off... looks kinda round.
And you might want to work on that bend leg a little more... hadn't seen it before but the perspective is way off on that one... and a suggestion.. maybe turn the left foot (his left foot which is on the right of the picture) a little more outwards. That would easen the pose a little.

And I had to think twice about UT capture the flag... I'm almost always in the red team, never with the blues :D .


Keep up the good work!

Ok so heres another color variation, tried to fix the leg but man is it hard to do. Went back to some warmer colors

Hi,

The leg gives a more lying down feel now. So...

Maybe you need to google some reference... there are tons of pictures with people or comicbook characters standing the way your medievil guy does... Or since you are an animator you can scurry up some character and pose it the correct way and make your own reference.

Cheers! :wavey:

nice to see ya paint again old friend :D

the pose actually does not look very male, i'd expect him to stand there with both legs on one level wich makes him more of a solid stronghold of a man ^^ right now, his pose in the thumb reminds me more of those lightminded girls you see stand under lanterns at night ^^

but early stage, i know so keep on goin ^^
