Qaz The Crazy

[Souly]

My friend's alter-ego.
He's one crazy son of a bitch. 

-> -> ->
Wanted to go with a kind of psychedelic shading on the straight jacket.
It's still every much WIP.
Just wanna see if I should change anything before I go on any further with this.

Edit- ALright, added a possible background to make things intresting.
Not sure about colors and a few other things with it.
Probably fix up the background with more detail in the future.

The original lines were much bigger. ^.^;

Keep it goin', it looks good to me!

(for some reason, the colors look too bright to me. Maybe they're overly saturated, maybe it's because all the hues are some form of purple, maybe it's because I love pastel colors too much, or maybe it's 'cuz it's a wip  but I thought I'd mention it).

I <3 teh scarf.

Alright began to work on the mask.
Quite unsure about the whole square thing I did.
Was really an experiment more then anything.

Edit: Alright, screwed around with this some more.

Sorry for the double post guys, but I've got a pretty big update here. 


Many shading errors were fixed.
I think I put a lot more detail into the straight jacket.

Maybe move the horizon and factory down. I don't know, seems like the cape is somehow hung on the chimney.

Here, since I still don't know what I'm doing with the backdrop.
I decided to remove it until I fix up Qaz.

[Souly]

Sorry for another double post.
But I need some C+C on Qaz before I try to get to work on a backdrop of some sort.

[Souly]

So no comments or critique from anyone?
I have nothing for an update but that's because I need some feedback on Qaz.

just maybe a palette suggestion?

I'm going to be honest with you here, this isn't your best piece. I realize you are going for a different style and are trying out new things which is great but I don't know how well it worked. Actually I think the thing that bugs me the most is what you did with the face. It just seems random and sloppy. I would keep the original black look with just the goggles and mask being light idea but try to work on form and AA of those areas a bit more in the shading. It also wouldn't hurt to give the pants or straight jacket a bit of a different hue or even brightness as the rest of the stuff to help differentiate between the two. I think with a bit of work it could actually be a lot nicer

the shading is too stylized, it needs more substance, more depiction of forms.

Here's two edits with my suggestions. First one is just darkening some stuff bringing out the volume and using your old face design. The second one is just some palette tweaking for fun.
