Looks like a good start. Try color shifting your colors a little bit. A good rule of thumb is to never shade your colors with just a darker color of the original. (For example: if you have green, don't shade it with a dark green. shade it with a darker teal. shade grey with purple. yellow with pink. etc etc etc.)

Hey Teeth!
Thank you for your advise. Of course I know that rule. I never worked at something where I had to use it obviously. (And sometimes I'm not brave enough.)
I don't think I can shade the WOW-character like this, as the colours of the original work way different.
I will give it a try tomorrow.

Yes. I want to take part too.  :)

I like animals and plants without exceptions. I like mountains and the ocean as well.
I'm interested in performing arts, literature and video games.

Feel free to make what you're comfortable with. But don't make the following things the main part of your piece:
- guns, cars, blood

I'm afraid of zombies and giant underwater creatures. I don't complain about a little chill, but don't make me cry scare me to much.

Try thickening the outlines by one pixel!


It helped a little.
Now I'm running out of ideas. I'm glad I don't get paid for this.  ::)

EDIT: Messed around with the headgear a litte to give it a shape.

Nostril slits are, what snakes and lizzards have.
That's exactly what I had in mind.
I'm excited to see your results.

What comes to my mind is "the smell of despair".
Maybe you can give him a nose. That will help it to hunt its prey.

When in doubt, I use google and find hex codes to plonk in. I'm colorblind though, so I can't say I recommend that unless you want to start over-relying on a crutch you don't necessarily need!

Hm, thanks for the tip. I don't have the feeling that I need to do this at the moment. I mostly can point out wrong colours.


*sigh*
I have so little time and since I have evening shifts like every day, I'm feeling a little impatient. This isn't nearly done.
What I wonder about are the colour ramps. In the original screenshot, some colours get less saturated when they get darker. I know that's not irregular, but it makes it hard for me to find ramps that share colours.
Additional, I can't make the armor look geometric as it is supposed to.

this is super late but he has super skinny arms for such a jolly fat fella, usually those of more generous proportions have flabby arms.

Naah, I think his arms look fine. The whole character has this robotic like look. He is Santa from the model kit. And that's why his arms are this skinny. ::)

Ideally, every part of the outfit should be a seperate layer.
Start with the face and shoulders, then layer the cloth bits on top of that, then the armor atop that. You might even need to layer out the various parts of the armor, but start with the head and work your way out.

Thank you. This process is as logic as it is helpful. See how far I've come.


The colours are just placeholders.
I think I will need five hues:
- something for gold and the eyes
- a brown for the hat, the collar and the shoulder armor
- a colour for the skin
- some purple for the wrap and the thing on his back
- some grey for the beard, the shirt and the band on the hat

I'm trying to make an avatar for my bf he wanted. It is a character from WOW. There are so much details within the reference, but I think for me it is a good practice. I often think to complicated.



I'm not sure what to do next. We will see.
What are your thoughts? Are there any mistakes with anatomy?

And what parts I better add to a seperate layer?

Yeah, I had luck yesterday and it was a pleasure to watch you (not just for the art  :P ).

I'm feeling inspired now, seeing you dive into your work showed me how much I miss this in my life.
Thank you for sharing this. I mean it. :)
