None shall pass - human/mech in an environment

[wo0lF]

Well.. it looks good to me :)



ps: i have seen your traditional work on blog and it rocks!

[Logi]

nice work! that robot suit looks awsome, very inspiring

You are right with your observation that there is something missing on the right side. I think it's because you give a frame on the left side with that broken wall in the foreground. Now it would be boring to just symmetrize this and add another wall on the other side. So instead you could make a wall and cover it with cables hanging down in the upper right corner, maybe that balances the picture.

This is great, really like what youve done.

Descent work, i like your technique!

I agree though that something is missing on the right, and also.. the most important at my opinion, you should add "Feelings" to your mecha-warrior.
Make his angry, make him determined to not let you pass , make his eyes tell us "come and get me if you can..".

I hope you know what i mean.

Keep sketching..!

Thanks a lot guys! Sorry I didn't post anything sooner - busy with school and trying out all your suggestions.

xs 57 - I tried that but then the "frame" becomes overly obvious. I removed the tower on the right and the bigger building mass makes it a bit better I think.

BiomechaWolf - I worked on his face more - it's very hard to see his expression though since the head is so small, even in this image that is x2 the previous. Even at 100% (which is x4 the original). Anyway, I hope this is better.

This is what I ve got so far. I am going to stop working on this for now due to school and my 3d stuff that needs finishing off.

Thanks again for all your comments!

WOW! nice job. cables on the right would be a great idea. You have this really nice refection on the metal. It would be nice to see some of that in the area surrounding your character. On the left where your balcony railing and wall meet with the roof behind it meet make for a bad tangent. But that's minor. again nice job.

all of the whites are cool in nature. because of that i'd like to see the focal point pop out with some warm whites.
if you're familiar with oil painting think of using flake white to mix a color instead of titanium white.
if not, I'd just suggest leaning more towards warmer colors in the face of the suits pilot to add some life in the cool mechanical atmosphere.

Hey, thanks for the comments!


rownd - thanks, you're right about the tangent and it's been bothering me as well. If i get a chance I ll definitely try to resolve it. As for the additional reflections in the metallic surfaces around the character - I might try that, although it might start to compete with the focal point.

Gungrand - there are some warm whites on the focal point (metallic parts). If I go too warm with them, then I am afraid they would begin to look as if lit by a different light source than the rest of the scene. I ll experiment with different color hues for the face, although I kinda like it as is.
