Races Of Middle Earth- Character- Lunatique

#9

Thanks!

BTW, just to make this clear:

It’s usally a mixed bag when it comes to showing work in progress. It can be very beneficial as people might give you helpful suggestions to aid the finished piece, but it can also be frustrating when people keep making suggestions that are already in your plan.

So, I’ll list the things the finished piece should contain:

1)she’ll have blood dripping down her lips.

2)There will be more blood on her hand, and some smeared on her face/body.

3)There will be open wound on the man, and blood smeared on the log, and elsewhere.

4)There will be tears running down her face.

5)And of course, the painting in general will be more detailed in color and in clarity.

Great Beginning Lunatique. If you don’t mind I’d like to crit one thing. Personal preference maybe. But I think that you should maybe make the tree trunks just a little less straight, if you did I think it would add a lot more to your comp. The trees look real linear so far. Other then that its looking real beautiful.

great concept, great painting. :arteest:

Here’s the latest update. The reason why it’s flipped is because that’s one of my working habits. I keep flipping at every stage to make sure none of my right-hand bias seeps in and ruins things.

Here’s a crop of it at actual resolution. I’m trying to keep the brushwork looser this time, since painting too tight is a big problem of mine.

Gamoron- Ya, I totally agree with you. It was one of those “I’ll fix it later things” :slight_smile: Notice that I already fixed it in this update. :smiley:

CgFreak- Mermaid?

Here’s one I did really fast just for the hell of it. I think people are sick of seeing me painting cute chicks anyway.

Race: Blood Demon

Origin: Before the time of men and the immortals, there were Blood Demons that roamed Middle Earth. They are vicious and violent creatures that only kills and feeds, until the land became barren of life. Eventually, the Blodd Demons ran out of food, and crawled into the deepest crevices of the ice mountains to sleep…and wait. They slept for centuries and centuries–until they were woken up by the presence of powerful magic. . …

I like it. Though I like your cute chicks too. :wink:
Which are you going to go with?

#17

I can only submit one?

#18

I like the hybrid idea we said in #cgtalk…but i dig @2 the most…girls are done to death (nothing wrong with girls tho, and the story is sweet)

just myopinion…either way it rocks.

#19

Finished. I decided not to go with the hybrid idea, since adding the creature kind of destroys the ethereal/melancholic feel.

Here are some closeups:

#24

Thanks for the crits. I’ll do an update with a fix when my strength has recovered(I stayed up till 4:30 am to finish this).

Derelict- Hehehe. You can’t be THAT horny. If you look carefully at the painting, the guy had his guts ripped out BEFORE he could whip out his love stick.

#25

Poor guy… but there should be more blood everywhere :wink:

#26

It looks like his zips down

#27

But MAN, does she EVER have busy eyebrows/eyelids. You might want to thin those out a bit!!!

Otherwise, :thumbsup:
