WIP Wanderer Pixel

on: June 14, 2006, 06:08:34 am


This is very much a WIP right now, but here's the general image so far. I started out drawing the (incorrect) anatomy, and then added in the details of the character. Next up is cleaning up the lines, coloring, shading, and maybe coming up with a background (highly unlikely due to laziness).

Any C+C to help me improve would be very appreciated.

Updated version:



Critique away.

In that particular stance he looks like he's being crucified. :D You may want break the symmetry of arm and leg positions in the pose, and give him a more interesting stance.

Nice work so far. I like the lineart. He looks like he'd be rising out of a burst of light or levitating. Just a thought for any background/shadow stuff you might do.

Love to see it colored!

I really like the hands.  Not too keen on the bottom of the cape.  That's about all the criticism I can really offer at this stage.

hmm...I'll try to fix that up a bit. Make it a bit more cloth-like.

Don't AA your shading, that's silly. Use those AA shades as extra shading

Yep yep, much better already. The highlight on the left of the shirt is a little off, try working on it

Here's the latest update (for those too lazy to read the main post again):



I changed the color of the shirt to match the rest of his outfit. Do you think it's better or worse than before?

I also started working on the wings, but I'm not quite sure how I should go about shading them. Any tips on that would make me very happy.
