Title: [CC] Gargoyles
Post by: EndarRaven on September 27, 2018, 10:24:54 pm

1st one is supposed to be an "easter egg"
2nd and 3rd are different angles of view of the same gargoyle

Cool design. Castlevania-like bg tiles?

Anatomy needs loads of work, when you've tightened this up the shadows play to that as well. Right now there's a load of banding (shadows are following the outlines but not the form) on the gargoyle guy, I think I can point to that as part of the problem.

Will drop an edit here + more to this post in a bit.

EDIT:

So here it is. It's been a while...but you can see it in action.

You're on point with your redraw of the 1st one, just tighten up the banding a bit more, cut out some colors and you won't have a problem revamping the 2nd. Edit has some anatomy pointers but it's hella rough and off in parts so I'd advise using proper reference.

doest it looks right? or anatomy is messed up?

I think for this pose, the back should be more sloped than you've drawn it in side-view. This also means the lower abs in the front view should be darker, so show they're further away and in shadow.

The gargoyle seen from the front has "straight angles" in its wing outline, try eliminating the black pixels there.
