Hi everyone!

This is a personal piece that I've been working on for my portfolio so I'm trying to push it to be as good as I can make it!

I would love to hear any general feedback on the design and values or anything that strickes your eye!

Many thanks!

You could probably focus on material rendering, like putting more contrast on the metal objects for example, but in general it looks really nice!

Yeah, I'll second what @ragecandy wrote. I'd also add that the head might be a tad small, but it's possible that it's just my eyes playing tricks on me.

But overall I think it looks solid and I'm liking the direction you are going!

Yeah I've been told that the head looks a bit too small so I'll definately focus on that more! Thank you

A few things:

• The sword's hilt looks a bit flat, and values are too similar to the woman's clothing so maybe brighten it up and add a slight gradient on the side to give it more depth.
• Mask can use more contrast because it is an important part of the image as it adds a lot of story and looks really cool.
• Her shoulder armor has a lot of potential to be of visual interest, but as people mentioned above, it might work if you just render it out to look more metallic and specular.
• Maybe experiment with adding something by her feet so that it isn't completely empty down there, like tattoos or jerewlry.
• Lastly, highlights and rim lighting up the wazoo! .

Great design overall!

PS maybe also add a slight gradient to the sword's blade to give it a little bit of a push into the background and add some depth.
