I vot for No 2 the original character concept

#62

awsome!I like your style.there’s really cool.just need a bit more steampunk.then it’ll be perfect.

#63

I added some much needed claws to the scorpion. I also reworked the composition of the background along with the buildings to make it less futuristic. Let me know what you think. Thanks

#64

:applause: I love the lamps, for gossakes. The cars in the back and that high-rise tenament building might be too future-esque, I guess, since steampunk is victorian era (?), but I freaking love this crazy david goliath scorpion theme.

#65

Thanks Sida
I was thinking the same thing. The building on the right feels a little modern but at the same time it’s kind of a clash between modern times and vintage times. Old technology raising havoc on todays city. Sometimes the best technology is still the gold old fashion technology.

#66

At this point I’m adding more details to the building and background. I created some texture brushes to paint on the textures of the buildings. Im also sharpening the buildings a the same time pushing them into the background with atmosphere. I will continue to cleanup the scorpion and the boy in the foreground. I also punched up the color saturation. Almost home.

#67

Your painting looks really cool in this state. I love the composition and the colors and textures! Can’t wait to see it completed!

#68

just one thing
the car in the middle draws too much attention and also it doesnt feel rightly drawn

Almost home. I could work on this image forever but you hit a point where your obsession for art needs to take a back seat for family. I will probably put the finishing touches on it and call it a day.

#70

I reworked the car in the background the first car didn’t look like a normal car the second one was distracting to me. I finally have something that I can live with. This will probably be my last tweak before I upload my final image. Let me know what you think.

#71

Perfect:thumbsup:. I didn’t follow your thread from the start. Looks beautiful. And yeah the car looks good now.
Nice steam mech Robo. Great job:)

#72

Hey I like the overall image and the nice twist with the boy there. But I just felt that the boy at the foreground looks “too” painterly/unrefined when compared with the rest. Since when things get closer to the screen it should have more details, but right now I feel the scorpion looks more neat and refine and yet still maintain the painterly quality, so I thought the boy should receive more attention too, and perhaps give him some steampunk element to hold on too. Anyway, great work:)

#73

The kid was still underdeveloped in comparison to the scorpion so I spent the morning working on the kid. Attached the progression of the boy. I think this really finishes off the art. What do you think. All the great feedback has really pushed this art along.

#74

hey dude!
strange but great colours!
i think your image is a little washed out, though… i’d play with the levels if i were you. also add some blues in the shadows? most of them look a little black to me…
cheers, n.

#75

I added more definition to the boy so that he wasn’t so painterly.

#76

this is moving along great
my only input that something looks wierd in the front leg
its way up front but the hands are almost the same size
great work on the kid

asaf

#77

Great work. I love that little kid. Amazing idea!

#78

Nice work, and interesting changes since the last time I looked in! Before you had the claws, the legs read quite clearly (or at least the front two did.) Now the screen-right leg is really hard to read. Maybe darkening it a bit so that it contrasts more with the building behind it could help. Good luck!

#79

Small color tweaks before I submit my final entry

#80

One of my favourites!!!
Good Luck. I’ll look for your finished version.
