@rgdraw I am not very good with colours, so I am always dreading this phase.
Not much progress today, just painting the flats.

[mar_cynwer]

So I fell terribly ill and thus have had not much time to work on this. Still feeling a bit feverish, but I hope I can finish this in time. Still have to do highlighting, armour and finished the shadowing.

[rgdraw]

Glad we got you back! hope you're better now

[mar_cynwer]

@rgdraw Yes, feeling fine and dandy
Progress for the moment, still need to highlight the rest of the armour and do detailing for the tabards. And the background. And the overall lighting.

And for a bonus, the current shadows (thought it looked cool).

[rgdraw]

Nice progress, and glad you're fine !

[tiia]

Looking good! The colours are a bit soft right now, which is fine if that's what your going for, but don't be afraid to punch in some deeper shadows too!

[mar_cynwer]

@rgdraw Thanks!
@tiia I will be doing a second pass on light and shadows after I have done the background. Have to keep that in mind until then
Progress for the day: added some more armour shininess, some mud onto the boots and the detailing for the tabards.
Next I will start working on a somesort of a background.

[mar_cynwer]

Current progress with the background. I'm not good with environments, so all the ciritque is greatly appreciated. Will most likely be finishing this tomorrow.

[rgdraw]

It's simple but it works nicely, I like the colors, really good
Try to polish it a bit more and it'll be great

[tiia]

I like this a lot, there is something throwing me off a bit though. The bottom of her hair. It took me a sec to realize it was her hair, not cloth. It wouldn't all sweep to the same place over to the right like that, unless it had been cut on an angle. the bottom part of the hair should end sooner than the top part of it. Maybe try shortening it and chunking/whisping it up a bit? Hair doesn't usually stay as thick at the bottom as it is at the top. I hope this makes sense! lol.
I love the detail on the 'skirt'!
This is a super crappy sketch, but maybe it'll explain what I mean better:

[mar_cynwer]

@rgdraw Thanks!
@tiia Thank you! I knew there was something wrong with the hair but couldn't tell what. I made some changes, hopefully it looks better now
Didn't have much time, mainly worked on the hair. And started gathering the concept sheet. Tomorrow I will post the finished version.

And the concept sheet.
