[WIP] Beastie Boy, keep the comment comming.

on: February 02, 2007, 10:20:31 am
This is my beastie boy:

For the first time in ages I like my pallete. Havent come around to cleaning up the lines yet. I'd like some anatomy crits especially on the arm and the legs. But please don't make his legs bigger if you edit, I did that on purpose. He walks with his hands too sort of like Gorillas. (The hands are not going to stay that don't worry)
I think most of my palletes are boring, I like this one tbh, but if you want to edit the pallete, or the whole thing, I'd apreciate it.

Comment away.

Edit: Saw I accidently added the progress animation, but it's really fast and doesn't loop, so that should'nt be a problem  :D

I really like the head. The pallete is pretty nice although I wouldn't use such extreme hue-shifting in the darker tones. In my opinion the pose needs quite some work.. it seems very unnatural even for a character that's walking with hands and feet. Especially the way his right arm (to our left) looks very out of place. Also in this pose it's somehow strange that you cant see very much of his torso. I would move arms and head a bit up and maybe a bit to the left so he's still ducked.

His pose looks... weird. He looks like he's leaning VERY far forward. And the arms have a bit of perspective error. Nice pallete, though.

I really like it so far. He has a good pose for a hunchback type guy with strange arms. Maybe a mad scientist next to him would make
a good image. Hope you don't dither it, it looks good now. You really need to clean up the lines around the hands.
Modern artists are told that they must create something totally original-or risk being called "derivative".They've been indoctrinated with the concept that bad=good.The effect is always the same: Meaningless primitivism

The beige one is cool. Makes him look like a sand golem  :)

The jump from the blue color to the green color is too much. I'd say your individual shades need to be slightly more uniform in their contrast to each other.

How's this Blick? Added a colour between the blue and green. Should be okay, since it wasn't using alot of colours to start with.

Also tried adding a slight texture and some detail.

This your best piece, imo.

Now you've made his right hand look webbed.  Add better defined seperation between the fingers.  The dark area on the wrist doesn't need to be that big.
