Color variations.

Would love some feedback on which color scheme(s) work best. Suggestions for new color ideas are welcomed as well.

Haven't had much time to work on this but what the hell, before I start on it again feedback welcomed.

Still more polish needed

Looks really good man there should be a shadow on the top and lower part of the teeth since the lips are on top of them. try to do some form studies it helps alot XD

malcom 2017-10-04 02:24:26 UTC #228

Thanks for the feedback . I'll get to that on the next polish pass to finish this thing.

haith92 2017-10-04 02:27:21 UTC #229

Np :). But seriously I tell this to alot of other artists just doing form studies (painting cubes, cylinders, circles.. ect) just simple shapes helps out sooo much XD. I dint belive it at first but I took Anthony Jones mentorship and he told me to just copy a pictures of cubes in certain lighting and it helped sooo much XD

Yeah it's been awhile since I done studies like those. I'll get back into it.

Nice man you are getting there with the character. you are doing well on the rendering of the cloth areas. I would try to add a bit more contrast to the metallic areas. ( the only difference when it comes to materials is the values so for metal have a bigger difference in value, also think about the planes of the armor and where the light is hitting exactly). But i really like the design ( im really bad at it) trying to learn the whole large medium small ratio for design but it aint clickin so well XD

keep it up u r doing great XD

malcom 2017-10-24 17:18:17 UTC #233

Thanks a lot for the feedback bro. I will adjust those those things when I go back to the piece.

malcom 2017-10-25 23:05:43 UTC #234

Work on the contrast a bit

Hey @malcom great work, nice to see that scythe character coming along. As for the environment. I think you've worked up a really nice palette and composition, I think you just need to adjust the values a bit to separate the foreground, midground and background to create the depth, and atmosphere.

malcom 2017-10-26 18:08:56 UTC #236

Thanks @tmhlaba for the feedback. I'll make those changes to the environment. Too bad I did the painting on one layer. I'll still to adjust it either way. I'll be more careful to keep the depth and atmosphere for the next one.

Woah just...that demon piece looks amazing! Great piece for your portfolio! I love her expression!

malcom 2017-11-05 20:14:05 UTC #238

Thanks a lot bro. Really appreciate it. Expressions are something I wanted to work on for a long time so i'm happy to hear you really like it.

Symmetra Anatomy study
Studying overwatch pieces to help build my visual Library and Style a bit more
Starting off with anatomy/proportions. I want to understand it a bit more.

@Firathion Thanks bro for letting me know the new overwatch book that recently came out. Heres a Quick study from that book. (early symmetra concept)

This was challenging. Gonna try this again. Face proportions need work. Something is missing with the flow of the lines I think as well. Not sure. Any and all feedback always welcomed.

really nice keep it up

malcom 2017-11-15 05:11:26 UTC #241

@haith92 thanks a lot.

Here's another study. This is a study of Ben Zhang Sombra expression's. This is 1 of 3
Focused on lines a lot here.
