Hello everyone!

Ok, I will start from one of my latest works in unusual style for me. I practice in Cartoon'\Comics genre and here is my Making Of "Freelancer".

> Max waiting for customer somewhere in neutral raydarian city.

Max is a space dragon or spiritus from my original sc-fi project "Spiritus The Universe".

So here is how it was done...
* - For this project I used Autodesk Maya, Zbrush and Photoshop.

1. All started from idea and very rough sketch.

2. The next step was creating basic 3D scene. Max got original visor from reference but without textures.

3. Lineart and colors. A bit light. For background I used 110 SCI-FI CUSTOM SHAPES

4. Adding additional details like people, little objects, snow and etc.

Enjoy =)

New nebula sculpting. Yeah I know it looks weird on this step (most things always weird at the beginning) but when we will go to painting in the next post...

I actually really like it, but I'll I think I like the cropped version more than the full picture for some reason. I feel it seems more balanced. Maybe because there's less empty space around the chararacter? Beyond that I think it's really cool

Thank you so much for your opinion and comment! I will consider it =)

You're welcome! Another solution that I thought of was just to expand the wings to take more space. I imagine them coming towards the viewer. I hope you don't mind, but I did a very rough paintover to show what I mean. Hopefully it will make sense.

I think it looks a bit better to me. At least I feel like he looks more majestic

Thank you! This is very useful advice. I felt that something wrong and thought that it can be quality of render or something else. You know I just saw that picture in my head and tried to draw it as it should be. But for viewer it was not enough good and I started to search what's wrong. Even thought that maybe the problem can be in colors too.

Thank you again! I will redraw this scene but with a bit different details and atmosphere. I'm currently started 100 works challenge to practice in digital oil technique and any critique are welcome.
