[WIP] Battle portrait

[Sleepless]

^ Agreed, shade the left arm too. I love this peice. WOW

I haven't had any time to do this over the part week, managed a bit of time tonight to finish constructing everything properly. I've fixed the hands more or less and cleaned up the machete some (noticing the blade is coming off at the wrong angle). Had a try at a colour scheme like NaCl suggested also, still undecided about the atmosphere, for now I think I will just leave it alone.



When I clean this up proper I will attempt to make him look as fat-less as possible, making the fingers thinner will require AA which I haven't started yet.

Oooh, I love the new colors. The machete looks like it's dull, like it couldn't really cut anything, like if it was a rubber toy or something. It's subtle, but maybe you could try to make the curve of the blade more severe?

I think it would look cool if the hands were a little bit more bony and not so sausage-like.

I'm inclined to agree with this. The hands are a little incongruous with the body currently, since the rest of the anatomy is very severely cut and bony. Even the simple addition of knuckles would remedy the hands nicely.

I definitely like the original colors way better. Anyone else getting a Enki feeling? w/o helm

Here's an edit to make the blade seem less dull.  I also removed one color (the gray).

It could just be me, but the fingers on the right and left hand don't seem to share the same thickness.

Yeah, I think McClaine's blade edit makes the blade pop a little bit.  Comparing it to the old one makes it look less like a big grey tongue depressor.

I appreciate the thoughts guys but there seems to be a lot of focus on the areas I've clearly not cleaned up yet. More focus on shapes and form and the like would be nice, I am having some trouble with the hands, particularly the wrists.

The fingers are bigger due to the perspective, they may be a little too big though.

No updates at this point sadly, hopefully I will have some free time on the weekend.
