[Vonschlippe]

Here is the final piece, some changes to the face structure and mustache, not to mention the extra beard detail.

Looks great Von, really solid piece

[Vonschlippe]

Been a while - here's what I've been up to!

AND THE FINAL VERSION:

Hope you like it!!

Oh wow, after your colour correction/beuaty pass on this piece it really stands out. the perspective is really good and it's got a nice sense of story.

This is a very good store for the environment.

there's a subtle sense of movement in this picture that really pushes it over the top for me. great work as always Von.

Wippidi-wop, this is a Wine Witch I'm working on!

[leeireo]

Whoa everything about the way you designed the character screams "I'm a professional artist" LOL! I've gone through most of your work when I joined the forums and omg... I salute you sir haha.

Even though it's linework it already feels 3D which is something that still amazes me with experienced artists... the flow of the hair as well is so good QuQ

Can't wait to see it colored!

[Vonschlippe]

Hello everyone!

Thanks so much @leeireo for the kind words <3

Here's the usual next-step in my process, I just make a single shape covering the entire silhouette of the character (no separation by material or skin or color) and I just go ham on one layer. Plan out the shadows, lights, value, local color, etc. Very rough, very exploratory, and ideally quick. Then, typically, I start to refine areas and slowly clean up the entire artwork.

This is the rough exploration state, with a beginning of clean-up on the face.

[Lockenheim]

This is amazing, you are my hero. Keep it up!

[Vonschlippe]

Too kind!!

Here's the final version <3

[Lockenheim]

Absolutely stunning, great work!

Your lighting and rendering is fantastic.

[Lukiesartventure]

Amazing work as per usual!

[wombatfooy]

Amazing stuff!

[Vonschlippe]

Thanks a ton everyone!

Here's a relatively quick study just to stay sharp - anatomy constructed with reference, color and light from imagination!

[Lukiesartventure]

um.. very nice proportions... ahahha

[Vonschlippe]

Thanks!

I decided to do a few more:

Here are some more pretty girls for general all-around color, light, and rendering practice.
