Ok here's my first CG presented on the internet, this file kinda lost some detail and stuff but the bmp version (which is what it really looks like) is 5MB and i didn't want you guys to keep waiting
This is one is Rave (The guy with the sword and blue jacket) and Theia (The girl next to him) having a little break after kiling dwarve footman...actually Rave did the killing.
It looks pretty decent, the only thing I would critizize is the blood effect on the weapon, it doesnt look very bloody (ex. there would be blood droplets on other parts of the sword) and the blood line is perfectly straight. Keep up the good work!
It's always nice seeing some original work, rather then CnP screenshots or official art submitted form other series' that happen to have elves and orc and such. Nice pic. -VGsatomi
PS: Art critics will always be willing to wait the extra minute to get the fully-detailed verion. I suggest using photoshop 6+ or something that's got a low-compression jpeg converter. The size is cut dramatically but the detail is largly unharmed.
^_^ Oh sorry guys, Dark Age was kinda resting for a while, i had a vacation and just needed a little break. These CG's are for my campaign, see Dark Age is just an RPG for one of the cities in the world i created ^_^. These pics are for a campaign about a guy kidnapping a princess and stuffy ness, although i'm having lots of trouble finding a model for him.
Rave... what a funky name. Dwarves footman? there is none of thsese, they don't even wear humans looking like the human civilization, they most likely wears cap helmets. they have overwhelming hairs. did those "footman" dwarves shaved their beard and hairs?
If the light source mainly comes from top right, the basic shading is complete. but the shading itself the way you made have a lot of problems, first, it's only basic shading, you made the shading according to a point, if an object blocks the light; "The light cannot go an object if it's solid." you should use this hint, according to the lightning point you probably constructed in your mind. the girl should have way more shading on her, beceause of that guy covering her, you barely did nothing, it's like if you did a Drop Shadow in layer effects in photoshop. this "drop shadow" method you used violates the rules of shading.
The shading has many big flaws. but it's something common, NOT that you should say it's fine, you should pratice your shading, it happens to do mistakes, but you must not let mistakes be a part of you!
That's it, basic coloring, no textures, you used contours ( it's massively used, i won't blame you on that, you are wormskully lucky. ) Oh also that anime that i hate more than anything. Face features are poorly made ( no nostrils. ) basicly, there is only a mouth, a nose and two eyes. there is no muscles or anything, just that edged potato shape with these three things sticked on it.
as said, the blood effect on his blade is poorly made; it looks like those footmans were already dead, and this rave guy slowly inserted his stick in his hole, holded it for few seconds, and pulled it back. make it look like a violent stab and the organs got pierced. make it pink-tinted, and you're not right about the blade thing, blood does drip, but slowly, therefore, after stabbing this footman his blade isn't clean n polished, that statement makes no sense.
the shading and the use of a palette to color is very poor. you didnt used a lot of colors. basicly one fill color, and one darker color. ( except for hairs , then it's a fill color, and a lighter color over it )
Honestly Wormskull, I can't believe you DON'T appreciate the fact that there are some people who like anime style than some others. Better find an excuse quick or you're not going to be around for a while.
