Micro banner-generic pose

on: July 20, 2006, 09:28:13 am


The pose is generic I know.  Look to the skies, spread out your arms. 
Basically I wanted a sorta .takam shading style, but I didn't exactly get the look I wanted. But I like this alot.  Also went for a tremulant style outline.  Also here I did not achieve it IMO.  But I like this a lot. 
Still needs some finishing, and the 2 colour schemes are there for fun. 

C+C appreciated.

Yeah, i like this... Few things. I think the head needs some more detail and there is something with his abs that sort of bugs me, i think it's that you have used a light source from above... I also think that his pecks could be fore defined. Nice work ;)

Abs really do make troubles for me. On the pecs, I guess I could do some work.  Also, do you have a preference among them?

Ill wait for more replies before changing this.  I would also like to see if peole think that their is a resemblance between the styles I was trying to mimic. 

Sorry to ask so much,

Hmm... Ok, I have made a quick edit of how i would have done thr body... I have taken the highlights off the abs becuase from the above light source they do not get as much light as the pecks would... I have defined the face slightly and the pecks. I also fiddled with the abs...

Oh, i see. Sorry i didn't know he was a cyclops. I also expanded the whole image by 1 pixel to make the shading slightly easier. Happy to help anytime ;)

Yeah.  I should have said that. 

I wanted to challenge myself with even dimensions.

You've got a double outline on him, with no AA on either one, it makes him look very blocky and chunky and is distracting.  If you're gonna do the white outline, then I would AA or minimize or simply remove the dark, inside outline.

Right.

@.Takam - maybe you could say its good :D  I just noticed something in how your pieces were shaded.  I liked it and tried it. 
@AdamAtomic - Hmmm...I guess.  My AAing skills are lacking at best, so it may not turn out well.


C64 pallette.  Cheers to ptong for providing it.  I love this colour ramp.
