Hello Pix...
I stumbled upon the palette workshop challenge a couple of weeks ago and I was very interested in giving it a try, so I started with the first challenge and made this one. It's pretty different from my usual type of work, more realistic and less manga like. I'm also not too used to working with these types of predefined palettes so it was pretty tough, I think I managed to make something half decent, but I'd love to hear your crits so I can further improve my skills. This particular piece is screaming to be refined, so any in-depth crits and edits are welcome!
Without further wording, the piece...
The Mafia boss
See you all!
UPDATE: (10/29 - 9:44)
Here's the latest version of the piece:
Changes animation:
Changes (as per Dhaos's suggestions):
- Widened the left (his right) side of the head 2 px.
- Corrected the lips to better match perspective.
- Shortened ear height by 2-3 px for same reason.
- Added small scar in his right cheek to make the image more interesting (and to use the newly gained blank space for something).
- Widened neck to make perspective more adequate.
- Minor tweaks here and there (aa, stray pixels, etc.)
I think this one is almost done, if anyone spots something else or wants to comment on anything be sure to drop a line
Thanks a lot Dhaos! Your advice has proven really helpful, I appreciate that you took the time to comment.
