Thanks dude!
Yup totally miss that tangent with the hand, thanks for pointing that out!

Hey, love the progress you are making! I am glad you stuck with design B (your old version), I think it suits your champion best. Also, I really appreciate the feedback you left in my Art War topic. You seem to be all over this forum section, which I think is great! Best of luck to you!

rgdraw 2018-01-21 23:29:22 UTC #63

Thanks a lot Eve!
Well, even if it's a competition we're here to learn from each other and to meet awesome people too so yeah I try to support as much people as I can
Good luck to you too!

I like your rendering! it’s really good! although i did notice something with her breasts that could use a bit of help. They should follow the tilt of her shoulder, (raised shoulder=raised boob, lower shoulder=lower boob) I did a paint over with a diagram to help explain what i mean ^^; Also i hope you don’t mind, but i did expand the canvas to fit your character’s full body into the frame.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to do this but this is not what I'm aiming for, the perspective i want is a bit different to get the dynamism I wanted, I don't know the word in english so it's hard to explain, which is why I did this little drawing to show you what I mean
But I understand why you thought there was a problem, I have to lower her right shoulder, in the process somehow itended up higher than I wanted

the over all look is pretty awesome !! ..... i think if you just darkened the backgound a bit so the character pops out more i guess.... other that that awesome work !!

rgdraw 2018-01-22 13:47:28 UTC #67

Thanks @badboys9805 I was thinking about that, she has to stand out more, especially since I have so many glowing stuff x)

Hey, thanks for dropping by my thread! You're already far in your progress I got to catch up!

Great job so far! I like the dynamic composition. I also agree that you can reduce the contrast on the background to make her pop more. Maybe you can lighten the background like this sample:

or maybe you can darken the background and make the magic pop out more like this sample:

Keep it up! ^^

rgdraw 2018-01-22 14:54:07 UTC #69

Thanks a lot dude!
I'll probably go for the darker one, I still don't know exactly what I'm gonna do but I'll do it x)
And I love both of the exemple, saw them on artstation, so beautiful * ^ *

I agree with @skullguzma, maybe it's a Poser issue. But from the angle we see her shoulders, her right breast should be higher.

You can't have two angles so different on her torso (green lines), because it's basically the same box (only if the perspective is really forced, but then you would have to apply it to the rest of the scene)

I hope it helps, and great work so far

rgdraw 2018-01-22 16:20:36 UTC #71

Here's today's progress, I tried to correct the shoulder, tell me if you still feel like it doesn't match the rest of the body @skullguzma and @alykam
Then I changed the background to help read the image better, if you like it guys i'll detail it a bit more and to finish i completly changed her "halo" to give her a proper one (and now i can hear you sing halo from Beyonce hahaha )

I'm not sure I understand the red lines you put over earlier. Is that meant to be a vanishing point in the bottom left corner?
Unless I have really got the wrong end of the stick, shouldn't the figure be in perspective more like one of these?

rgdraw 2018-01-22 17:12:56 UTC #73

@moirae Not vanishing point at all, more guide lines than vanishing point
At the beggining I was aiming for this camera angle but since I couldn't find a proper reference for the pose I had to make compromise, so i end up with what you see on the illustration

For the perspective, it would roughly be something like this (Not 100% accurate of course )

evehartman 2018-01-22 20:27:06 UTC #74

Haha wauw, all these versions can make up an artbook chapter on perspective and composition! Do like the change in background, it suits your champion better

rgdraw 2018-01-22 23:06:15 UTC #75

Thanks Eve ! Then I'll do a proper planet then and probably add others too
I probably shouldn't do a book chapter on perspective, I know how it works but to me It's mostly instinct that guides me more than the real perspective rules, so I should do instead a "Follow your instinct and feelings" chapter x)

sheyenne 2018-01-23 09:48:20 UTC #76

Yeeess, much better. I love it more than before! It`ll be so great!

rgdraw 2018-01-23 10:04:46 UTC #77

Thank you very much @sheyenne

moirae 2018-01-23 15:39:59 UTC #78

Sorry, but to me your red lines imply we are below the character, looking up when I see it more as looking down on her.

rgdraw 2018-01-23 15:59:23 UTC #79

Oh shit ! You're right! I failed miserably to explain it, it makes so much more sense like this thanks dude ! I went to fast to try to explain that I messed up everything
I'm very embarassed right now xD
(But like I said earlier it's more my instinct that works when I paint, lucky for me xD )
And thanks for understanding what I was trying to show

evehartman 2018-01-23 20:20:55 UTC #80

Ah but one should always follow ones instinct But seriously, this topic is full of great stuff Love that the community is so eager to help and figure problems out
