Your design is coming along nicely. Very interesting to see the journey to this point.

[Iago_Cavalcante]

I love your design, i'll just add that the head and some body proportions can be better tho, something like this may help you visualize:

[skullguzma]

Going off of the suggestion @Iago_Cavalcante made, I think that chrome textured armor would suit his design because chrome has many values. It was also a little difficult to tell if his pants were supposed to be fabric, or metal. This is where having the metal parts be "Shiny" and the fabric parts be "Dull" would help.

I did a few changes to help visualize this. Of course it probably looks wonky because i couldn't replicate your textures, which were the best part....

I assumed the patchy stuff under his shoulder armor was fur.

Thank you very much @rgdraw! I'm glad you like it

@yorieofthecastle Thank you for pointing it out! I've always thought my work was a bit dark, your paint over really helps me visualize what to do to improve the values! Thanks you very much man!

[Rakatak]

i want to see the ilustration with that character think it will be nice

[Crayvv]

@readock thanks man, I guess we all have to haha, guess I have to do that before the illustration haha

@superkip thanks man! really motivates me all the time

[Crayvv]

@Iago_Cavalcante, you have no idea how thankful I am to you now! I was having trouble with the head and some proportions, I''m so happy you did a paint over, I'll definitely keep these things in mind! Thank you very much for the help, I'll make sure my next update would be a lot better

[Crayvv]

And you too @skullguzma, these chromic texture are looking so good and the fur looks so real! and yes they were suppose to be feathers but fur is better hahaha The pants though, I wanted it to be like a leather matte kind of texture, but your paint over visualizes the folds and form, thats really helpful! Pretty much all you've done is improve my textures overall and the values seems better now. Thank you so much man! I'll keep all these corrections in mind

[Crayvv]

Definitely excited to do the illustration too! Im glad you like it and thank you!

[sanguine]

I like the idea of fur! Looks great! Also, I love the pistol and sword.. great work!

[Crayvv]

Thanks @sanguine ! I just thought that a regular pistol wouldnt take so much skill so I decided for a magum revolver, Im imagining like while shooting he has to spin the weapon and stuff which is cool hahahha and Yeah @skullguzma did a great job painting over, the fur looks so real, do you have like a custom brush for that @skullguzma? I'd love to know!

[skullguzma]

I use Clip studio to draw, I've never actually made any custom brushes, and have no idea how to export them for someone else to use. Although if you have Clip studio, i can upload pics of the brush settings.

[Crayvv]

Oh crap, I dont have clip studio but I've looked it up and it's just like photoshop but designed for anime Anyway it's okay, Im just gonna look for a fur brush for photoshop hehehe, thanks man!

[Iago_Cavalcante]

That's why we are here right?

Keep it up.

[Crayvv]

Hey guys! Happy new year! I hope you're having a great day!
Anyway thank you very much for you guys, so far your support helped me improve a lot! To be specific thank you @yorieofthecastle @Iago_Cavalcante, @skullguzma and the rest!

So this is probably my final concept for Nano, so I just have to do the back concept before the illustration starts! From all the paint overs I received and great advices from you guys, I didn't just save the image that you put here in the forums and paste it into my work, instead I repainted the paint overs you provided so I can learn from it! Although on the pants part, I really like the idea of fabric material to it, I tried to repaint it, after an hour of trying, I just copy pasted it so yeah, I pasted the pants part only haha. I will practice the folds and clothing!

Tell me what you think of the final front concept of Nano! Any feedback is appreciated!

[GreyHound]

oh man those runes flowing around his body's awesome!

[yorieofthecastle]

Yaaas, it looks very nice! I love how you've done the red lights, they look awesome!
I think we can make it even better, tho! With all the lights and stuff, the separation between his armour and what not seems to have been lost a little. Drag this one in your program and flip it on and off above the original to see what I mean.

The difference isn't huge, but it's definitely there. I just lassoed the parts I wanted darkened and used a black gradient, but you should be a bit more thorough with it. ^з^

And.. rim light! I dunno if it's personal preference, but to me rim light always makes things pop off the page more. Case in point, here's a small version of him with rim light, it's easily noticeable even on this scale:

Oh yeah, and I added some highlights to his hair, it looked too flat without them.

Front view almost done! ~(^3^)~ How many years will it take me to get there... >.>

[andrewnimble]

Good job mate! He looks more and more bad-ass. Some good critique has already been said, so I am gonna stick to the praise ^^

[Crayvv]

@GreyHound actually, those are super small nanobots, these nanobots enhances his human abilities, strength, speed, reaction time, as well as improving his senses as eyesight, smell, hearing and other more, so yeah he's an upgraded human, with swords and a magnum pistol that are upgraded as well, will include these abilities in the final sheet

@yorieofthecastle Another awesome helpful feedback! Thank you very much man! I kept your advices in mind! Check out the image below, I put rim light and some ambient occlusions like what you said! Really awesome help man, I couldn't have this awesome render/concept without you and the other critics, so thank you so much!

@andrewnimble Thank you very much man! I feel you, sometimes some critics are just so all around so I just praise most works haha and it's okay man!

Here is the Final Final Concept for the front part of Nano! I hope it's looking real good to you. I know this is just a concept, but I kinda rendered it like an illustration hahaha, well it wasn't possible without the help of you guys, ive said it a hundred time but thanks! Tell me what you think. And btw Im gonna start the back concept, should be quick since I have the cloak as the back, and then create options for the illustration! So excited!

[yorieofthecastle]

Awesome! Hype for the illustration~
Just put some highlights in the poor guy's hair, c'mooon.
