I got some decent work done on this in the last couple of days, started working on the final image finally. Took me awhile to lay in the perspective and architectures, etc. Plus took some time to do some anatomy studies for the Lord himself. Would love to hear any and all feedback.

I really like the scale your character has compare the others the feel it gives

Georgie 2017-01-07 04:37:17 UTC #23

Absolutely LOVE the headdress. The intricate design is a great focal point, overall the detailing feels very balanced to me - ie the large blocks of the cloth vs the headpiece.

How do you envision the anatomy work for his arms? I like the shape and form a lot but the upper arms are quite regular size, how do they hold the weight of his massive twin forearms? haha
Is it a skeleton, or is he more ethereal and it's just a representation of what he would look like?

Wow! This looks great! I have nothing to say the composition is perfect, the anatomy too, can't wait to see it rendered fully

Crayvv 2017-01-07 13:08:34 UTC #25

The perspective is perfect! I love the clean composition too! So far I have no concerns, so keep it up!

Amazing composition, plus the side characters makes him feels like a lord! Looking forward to see more progress

This is coming along spectacularly! Love seeing how this piece has come together and really wish you'd streamed all of this.

Very excited to continue seeing the progress on this!

@leblancalexandre3d: Awesome! Good to know I'm on the right track

@Georgie: I don't know haha, that's my best answer. I'm not super concerned with the realism of weight distribution with the arms

@rgdraw: thank you very much!

@Kreyhardt: Thanks so much!

@borjengoh: Awesome! Thank you!

@clintlockwood: Sorry! I really should've streamed this, but I only ever work on it for maybe an hour every day in between work so streaming it would just be kind of a hassle.

Thank you all so much for the kind words, seriously it means a lot to me!

Here is a bit more progress, also I decided I'm gonna start posting studies up that I do in between all of this stuff as well.

Love this!

I feel like the window could be less bright?
When it's like this, your character is in the spotlight, and the blue brings us around, we still get to look at the nice window and appreciate the detail, then we can follow the blue back to the focal point without having the brights of the window steal us back to it.

I like this character a lot! He's one of my favorites, and I don't want him to compete for my attention with a window!

rudakov 2017-01-10 23:21:38 UTC #30

Argh, so cool idea and composition! Great work, I'm curious to look at final image!
I checked your artstation and I absolutely like dynamic and atmosphere of your artworks. Good luck in the contest and keep it up! :}
And shaaaading

rgdraw 2017-01-10 23:57:25 UTC #31

Crayvv 2017-01-11 14:36:10 UTC #32

Fresh_KB 2017-01-11 15:15:06 UTC #33

Oh wow, your lighting and rendering has come so far, it looks amazing.

[note: love the hanging gut]

forrestimel 2017-01-14 19:48:06 UTC #34

@skullguzma: Hey thanks! Yeah I toned down the window but now the pillar and reflections on the ground are looking a little bright so I'll probably tone those down now ha.

@rudakov: Thank you very much!

@rgdraw: Thank you!

@Kreyhardt: Thanks so much!

@Fresh_KB: I almost got rid of the hanging gut, but I'll keep it just for you <3 Thanks!

Thanks so much for all the feedback and support! Here is an update on the image. Also, if you want to watch me work on this I'll start streaming my progress on it here: https://www.twitch.tv/forrestimel

I was wondering how you would be putting the cosmos in there, and you pulled it off! great stuff!

frankenstejin 2017-01-14 21:53:34 UTC #36

This is incredible! I love the colors and composition, it's a truly divinity.

twistedxp 2017-01-15 06:23:14 UTC #38

This is bad ass. It has a super strong ruler of the universe kind of feel. Seriously awesome.

rgdraw 2017-01-15 10:51:02 UTC #39

Amazing work man ! Just amazing

forrestimel 2017-01-22 07:30:50 UTC #40

@Khulim: Thank you!

@Steve_Kim: Thanks!

@twistedxp: Glad I could kind of pull it off ha, thank you!

@rgdraw: Thank you very much!

Thank you all again for the kind words, seriously means the world people.

Here is an update! I'm pretty much calling it done. There are a few adjustments here and there I might make but this is it for the most part. I'll be working on the character orthographic next, so stay tuned for that!
