[Naked Contrast]

Nice shading!

I'm truly honored. Thank you.

This is an interesting image. It has some tention and some twist towards the bizarre somehow. But it also has beauty and definition. I like that. You really got some good shading on some parts, and the overall proportions are well handled I think. Nice!

I really think you should've finished the arm though, added a hand. Its almost never good to let something fade out to nothing, It irritates the eye. The eye wants to see the hand, but its not there, the lines just fade out. Especially since its on the end of a long shape. I don't think the head is not as badly missed though, the destrinct line on the upper part of the torso handles that, without it looking too unnatural. I actually think this wouldnt be as interesting if you had drawn the head.

Overall a nice piece. Welcome to the portal!

Unfinished sketch.

This is a semi-good attempt at drawing a character. Too bad the only thing you know how to handle is shading, but with no conceptual idea of how lighting works that doesn't take you very far I'm afraid. Study some lighting.

The only part of this that is appealing to me is the belt, it's actually quite nice, it has some weight to it and it feels like its hanging there.

The feet are missing. Study some anatomy.

I would love to have seen some anatomy take further than the clay molding-look. Or atleast some definate modelling of the body, it's very flat at the moment, I can't even make out if he's soppused to be skinny or built, or maybe just a little bit unexercised? Study some more anatomy.

I can't understand what kind of weapon it is in his hand either. It could be a revolver, but I assume that you would have taken some time to learn how a revolver looks like before drawing one, seeing how you know how to tell others about this concept. Google the word "revolver".

The pose is interesting in its own way. I can't understand why he would stand like that. The effect it has on the character is, in my eyes, giving him a confused, weak look, maybe he's mentally ill. Maybe he has a muscular disease. Who knows? Study some poses.

The clothes he's wearing has no folds at all that i can see. are they made out of plastic or wood or something? Interesting kind of armor, I give you that.

The background is a bit bland, not very interesting at all. Allthough, it might be a snowy day. That would explain the hidden feet though. And his unnatural pose. I do really think it would have been better with a clear sunny day, maybe somewhere were bandits usualy live?

Lastley, i don't know what you are trying to do with the effect on the pants, but you really made my eyes focus on his croutch. Maybe it's some kind of artistic expression that just don't shine all the way through for me, but I just find it pure annoying.

Overall, its a OK sketch, it would be lovely to see something you spent some time on! Thumbs up!

its hella old

[The Old Monk]

Smooth

I like it, it really feels like your up close with him, nice lightning aswell.

The oldness doesnt really leave the eyes though, the rest of the face is relly smooth. Theres wrinkles all over the face of an old man, more or less visable of course.
Good job though, keep it up!

MutatedHelix responds:

Thanks very much, I appreciate you taking the time to comment,
It's strange how blind one can be to the obvious - I'll make my next attempt a stronger, more thorough one.

Full metal glory

And there you go again with your textures, ligthing, composition and colors. I can easily see that you've been studying this stuff.

And that huge face is just plain awesome.
