cool edit stoven, subtle and powerful, makes me think of like and old illustration or oil painting.....maybe a Devil tarot. color choices came out this way for no other reason than i liked how it looked
while its true that i didnt spend a huge amount of time on this, and it was aready late at night when i began, i purposefully shose not to dither it, because i dont like dithering or the texture it creates. i like your edit though, maybe enough to try some dithering....i dont know
originally his entire face was lit up, but i decided that it really didnt fit the character. i decided to obscure it mostly to create an air of mystery, even deception, hopefully this is the frustration that you mean?. you look straight at his face, but can you actually see him clearly, he is the devil afterall, you 'see' him all the time and fail yet to actually see him clearly. hopefully you can still pick out the glittering eyes, broken nose, eye-bags, and loose, scarred flesh. if not, i may need to rework
im thinking i may nix the text since im one of the few that can read it and that's because i already know what it says
that and people say its distracting
by the way, is anyone familiar enough with biblical stories to tell me if satan should or should not have a penis? or nipples, shoudl i choose t uncross his arms? i didnt think that angels had features of that sort, but the idea of the black sabbath would suggest otherwise. Perhaps the simple posession of genetalia is an indication of sin?
