Title: [WIP][CC] Josuke
Post by: Dnilb on May 11, 2016, 07:56:30 pm
(http://i.imgur.com/i9CjFaG.png) Refrence: https://i.imgur.com/6xCMd0q.png Before I get to shading and the rest I want someone to help me improve the base. I can't put my head around what's wrong with it, is it the proportions, stance or something else? and how can I make the circle symbol more readable?

It's kind of all of the above. The torso is too long, legs are too short, and his head looks pretty off-center here. Try to find a picture of a real person doing the pose you want (or pick up a copy of designdoll to build your own) and use that as a reference to get things right.
On the plus side, those are pretty good feet.

VAST improvement. work on the coat, it's hugging the body too much I think.

Some quick thoughts. I think it might look better if you reduce the distance between the legs and make them a tad more thinner. The hair is pretty noisy. Give it a crosshatch texture, like how it actually looks in the Manga, pronounced in the anime*. The pose is still a little awkward. Also there's some banding going on, might look good if you fix that. (I'm not hardcore against banding) Might also want to bump the contrast a little more.

Update: Changed contrast, ending of sleeves, hair, right shoulder, legs, small tweaks to shading and other things. (Right shoulder looks better now or was it better before? should I make left leg wider?) (http://i.imgur.com/RGdmiFF.png) Progress: Sprite:
