thanks for the help i was copy/pasting the wrong code
you need to upload your image to a free photo host like www.imageshack.us and when it is finished uploading, you will get html codes to paste into your message.
As for your protraiture, it is a problem of angle and proportional distortion. All artists suffer from this. To initially train your eyes and hand, drop a square grid on your ref photo and copy and use that correct your distortions. Better still start all over with the grid.
After a period of these grid copies, you will find that without the grid, your perception powers will have improved.
The technique is to be able to mentally (or physical measuring devices) superimpose vertical and horizontal lines to help you judge angles and proportional distances more accurately.
All classically trained artists will do this; using pencils, measuring sticks, a plumbline, a mentally projected lines/grid, etc. whatever works for you.
working the values in the background …with the charachter im trying to get a metal shine look to it but its looking more like wax.

Playing with various colour combos & anatomy




Move on
& this is a recent oil painting where i’ve cleaned up the edges in photoshop

I’ll be in the deep end come Feb 1, i enrolled in the game charachter design today.
Regarding your latest piece, play with the composition a bit.
At first I thought it was a gargoile on the edge of a building but then I noticed it’s supposed to be the main character in the scene. Maybe you can relocate it or flip the canvas horizontally and see what gives. Also, I would make it look more towards the viewer rather than away from him/her.
I suggest to make some studies of metallic objects to get rid of the wax appearance.
The background looks rather flat as well.
If you bring perspective into play, you’ll get a far more interesting painting.
Looking forward to see your update.
Playin with perspective in the background but I forgot to fli;p it at i’ll do it in the morning.

heres my progress so far with jonathan rush’ game charachter design workshop & well i think i blew a head gasket in that class its very enjoyable informative & I highly recomended it. i havent got to uv unwrap yet as i’m still in the modelling process learning both zbrush & 3dsmax together gave me alot more confidence with photoshop I havent got my head round the scaling issue yet, so if anyone has any clues about those matters.



Had a few problems with 3ds max2010 not importing until i uninstalled sp1update its going now.

Im wondering if uninstalling sp1 for 3ds max 2010 had a hand in blowing up the mobo…??
Anyway Robert Chang class is pretty amazing, i highly recommend it for anybody starting out in PS or just traditional painting. Here is a before and after pics of what ive learned so far in the workshop.

…& after

Some refining to do still its an improvement.
Tedious stuff working it out alone lol getting there tho’, I got a little overwhelmed at zbrush 4 update so i got stuck into max again. Missed out on a seat to sze jones workshop.

must fix those pants leggs

Nice works, try to sculpt body parts then go for the full character which will more control in zb,keep practicing:)
Where Im at WIP so far in Katon Calloways “High End Fantasy Game Art Creation” 3d Course .Liking zbrush alot,& the license ran out in Autodeskk.
