Steampunk Myths and Legends Entry: Kamen Anev

well… I should admit, it is not yet obvious enough, but they are the gods watching what king Midas wished for himself… That’s why the rules of light(ning) and space doesn’t really “touch” them… I hope It will be more obvious later on :slight_smile:

#22

still lot to do…

#23

I decided to change the colors once again…

#24

Not sure I like this new scheme. There’s very little contrast in colours, and the ones that do are still heavily towards the red side of the spectrum.

#25

well… I should say you’re right… something is really bad with the lightning… maybe I should put the whole scene to an open field, to get some natural light…

#26

Well in the previous two I think you had the right idea. The gears are throwing off the brightest colours, and you have secondary colours for the background and unaffected areas, and the uniforms and decorations threw in more splashes that helped bring the image out.

The only problem with your latest is that it looks monotonous.

#27

After a long-long suffering :slight_smile: I decided to change the whole image… I keep the story, I keep the subject, but I change almost everything else… there were lots and lots of problems with the previous images… no freshness, bad colours, too much details etc.

So here we are now…

#28

and the picture right now…

#29

midas - new work in progress
Color changes, first detailing…

#30

#31

The composition had some ballance - problems, so I had to change it a bit…

#32

and I forgot… Thanks Kevin!! :slight_smile:

#33

hey kam! much better than the previous one! keep on pushin`!

#34

some advanced environment and machine detailing…

#35

trying out a different composition…

#36

advanced environment and lightning…

#37

I like landscape here the most,it’s really detailed and well rendered.Character seems still need a little bit light on the other hand,maybe a sharp light from back could bring him more to the front.Great work :slight_smile:

#38

You’re picture is interesting but, maybe because I don’t know the story, I had a problem of relation size between character and environment. Are these huge mountains like it seems to me ? In this case he’s a giant ? Or is it more classical snow at the size of a human and in this case, I find it too detailled to understand that size.
Great work anyway, with nice details

#39

yes… Vincent, maybe you’re right… I tried to “deconstruct” the background a bit… now it’s time to finalize the figure…

#40

updated details and colors
