And here the final linearts I did some days before. Sorry for being so rare here.

frankenstejin 2017-01-29 18:35:35 UTC #43

And a little close up. C&C are welcome

frankenstejin 2017-01-29 21:52:30 UTC #44

Finished the linearts. I am so afraid to go the next step and beginning with the color >_< Have you guys any tip for me?

yorieofthecastle 2017-02-07 13:32:35 UTC #45

Maybe more of a suggestion, not so much a tip - try to have the shards follow some "line", maybe like the Golden Spiral or something like that. It's definitely not necessary, but I don't think they look random enough right now if you'd rather go with that instead.
Also, I'd really like to see some reds, greens & blues on the shards, like the mirror was actually a stained glass window! ~(^o^)~

Yeah a little bit of pattern on the glass would make your painting a lot more dramatic! I agree with @yorieofthecastle fully. Keep it up man nice work! Your line art is so professionally done.

Nice linework! Would love to see the colored wersion soon! Keep up the good work man!

@yorieofthecastle Thank you, I like your tip with the greens and blues on the shards, I’t going to be a challenge to make them look cool (and sort of realistic) @Kreyhardt Thank you You have a good eye for composition. I find out too there are too many shards and the guy hasn’t enough room to breath. @berrysquare Thank you! I hope I don’t disappoint you. I’m freaking out mixing colors at the moment XD

Color

Oh boy my first colored version

frankenstejin 2017-02-16 18:50:04 UTC #50

Fixed colors, shapes and lighting yesterday. There are a lot of work to do. Hided the shards to controll the composition and background. Still not fine with the skin color.

frankenstejin 2017-02-16 22:41:04 UTC #51

Color

New update, I start to break the linearts and rework the composition, color and values. I hope you like the progress. Let me know if something looks strange.

Great job so far yet isnt his face expression too friendly?

berrysquare 2017-02-17 20:48:09 UTC #53

Are you adding the shards back?

frankenstejin 2017-02-18 21:00:00 UTC #54

@rybusandrzej thank you, yeah meaybe he looks way too friendly haha
@berrysquare yeah they will come back

katya_cyan 2017-02-18 22:37:34 UTC #55

Your Line Art amazing! Don't hide it) May be worth more graphically to deliver color, order to emphasize it?)

frankenstejin 2017-02-18 23:33:56 UTC #56

@katya_cyan Thank you ^^

frankenstejin 2017-02-18 23:38:50 UTC #57

Color + Shapes

I got great feedback from my class mates and repaint the character Drew the hands again (now I hope they make more sense) and repositioned the right arm lil' bit.

frankenstejin 2017-02-18 23:40:45 UTC #58

I should tackle the shards soon

frankenstejin 2017-02-19 22:28:28 UTC #59

Color

I guess I'm fine with the main shard in the foreground. What do you guys think about the shards flying around, are they still too much?

Next steps:
• add some faces in the bigger shards
• fix the color of all shards
• working on an interesting background
• beginning to render the vampire itself

At the end I have to make the character sheet x_x Still lot of work to do. I hope I can handle it before art war ends.

berrysquare 2017-02-20 00:39:37 UTC #60

I like the shards. Withoute them it looks empty and not so interesting. Also you have a broken morror thing going on so it works well with the idea.

frankenstejin 2017-02-20 21:39:39 UTC #61

@berrysquare Yeah sounds great
