Good stuff. Great anatomy, pose and shading.
Minor gripe - I think the blue dots break the smoothness of it though. I'd change the blue to a slighty lighter, less saturated one. The dots just steal the attention from the rest at some points (namely, the larger dots).
+5 credits for doing a purple dude. Purple, that oftenly forgotten color.
Thank you for your time to comment on my piece, and for the compliments =)
The color issue is mostly because of the first version, but I shall fix it.
1st Version
And I didn't knew purple was forgotten
aw, i thought this was going to be a firefly/serenity piece from the title
second what turbo said about the purple, purple is the king of colors
the pose feels slightly strange, as though he is falling backwards; id suggest moving his right leg back a bit and angling it out to make up for the backward motion. when a person leans back, its really a combination of pushing their shoulders back and their pelvis forwards; otherwise you just fall.
does the lower body feel a bit big to anyone else? this feels like foreshortenning which increases the feeling of unbalance. shrinking the legs will probably do as much help as shifting the pose
First of all, thank you for comment =)
Really? Is there a Mister Universe in it?
About the pose:
I tried to do it myself, and indeed felt really awkward. The pelvis and abdomen should come forward, but mine is straight. And his left leg should form a smaller angle. I'll work on that.
And yes, his upper body is smaller. I tried to give a better impression that he was leaning back, and that was one of the "solutions" I found. But probably I didn't quite managed to make it right, so I'll fix that too.
Arms=Extremely puny.
Nice, though, and ditto to what Adarias said.
Thank you too for your comment and compliment =D
I explained the arm/upperbody question above.
Thank you guys for the great comments and criticism.
I'll edit this post tomorrow with the fixes.
