@futurefantasydesign: Thx! :smiley:

@Stahlberg: wow, thx u very much :D:D:D
I can’t see where the lighting is wrong, I feel it’s wrong, but I don’t know where and how
yet you correct it beautifully!

There is my first environment sketch. I try to make focus on the gates and character. But i fell something wrong. I will be happy to look on the correct view my work. Also i will want to hear something comments about my mistakes.
Sory for my English.

Is a great great work, congrats. Only an advice (in my opinion). I think on top is “over exposure”, on bottom is very good, but on top color is extreme, too much light, too much white


#1586

Here are the three last ones.


Some comments about this one: Perspective was slightly off I found, also lighting was a little bit inconsistent. The door and floor which were fairly flat were varying too much in tone. Also I thought I should add a bit more detail to the rock surfaces.

The workshop has been cancelled.

:shrug: Well… kind of a bad thing. But. does this means that we can keep submitting our images to this thread?


#1589

Yes, sure, whenever I open this thread it’s open for business. :slight_smile:


#1590

well since you said you were open for business again, so here is my work: :slight_smile:
I wanted to find a nice contrast between cold and warm light to get an interesting picture.
I already did some postprocessing and tried a few things but I feel like it could still be better.


#1591

Sorry I’m late.
This one, the window is too low for practical purposes. Also, from this angle you’d only see ground outside, not sky. So I changed the perspective, the location of the window, and the lighting. I also think the moon should be smaller, but I don’t know maybe this is a different world not Earth. Also the black seams between the stones in the wall should probably be thinner.


#1592

awesome, thank you :slight_smile:

I already had a version with a lanscape outside and a smaller moon.
the lighting is awesome.

Hi Steven,
Here is a recent anatomy man, I’m trying to focus on getting it to look more natural than an ecroche type of direction. please help.
Thanks.


#1594

Hi Steven!
Thanks so much for taking the time to help :slight_smile: I’m particularly worried about the lighting and my use of colors…but I’d like to see any suggestions that can be made for anything else about the image


#1595

I would tone down the saturation in all the shadow areas a bit more, mainly in the dashboard in front of the people. Only where the light rolls into the shadow, would I bump up the saturation.


#1596

I’ve been traveling, here’s one of the 2 latest submissions. I’ll get the next in a couple days.


#1597

The other one:

I think I just went through this entire thread? Learnt things too, thank you very much for taking the time during the years :slight_smile:

I’m currently struggling with this one here, fresh pair of eyes would be perfect. I see there’s wonk, and I’m pretty displeased with his trout pout lips - those are a pain in general for me to paint. Lighting’s all over the place. Didn’t even think where it’s coming from, boo me.

Hi Steven!
I am such a big fan of your work and of this thread! Thank you so much for doing this! :bowdown:

I am currently working on a armor sculpt but for some reason the proportions always come off wrong to me. It almost looks like a toy for some reason. I really want him to have that big scary armored character feel. This is still a sketch mesh cause i want to get the proportions right before i move one to smoothing out the character.

Also something about the shoulders doesn’t look right to me… Especially when the extra shoulder armour is hidden… And I modified it so many times and can’t figure it out.

Any help would be greatly apreciated! :slight_smile:

edit: sorry i changed the pic to one without the shoulder armor so you can actually see the shoulders. I cant get why it looks wrong to me.
