Epic hero

on: April 09, 2007, 02:44:16 pm


A fantasy stamp for PixelStamps. Made to test counting total stamps and last site update info scripts and to kick some lazy asses to finally join the project :)

Ignore a strangely placed number, it's dynamic and I hope it to turn into 2 digits.

This guy supposed to be a card for a Russian CCG but the anatomy was seriously off and I couldn't improve it. Now that I turned it into pixels he doesn't seem so wrong to me. Anyway edits and crits would be awesome.

   Yo, Gas. I saw this at pixeljoint, but didn't get a chance to comment. I think it's great, but as you mentioned before, suffers from some anatomy issues. His right forearm is long. Too long. Also, I'm guessing that the object he's holding is a Scepter of some sort? I say that because if indeed, he is holding a spear, than the current angle it is in, along with the position his hand is holding it in, would suggest it's going straight through his crotch/hip. Also, his left shoulder is extended much further than normal. I'd also like to mention that he has a large upper body.
   However, you shading is very well done, especialy on the gold net design on his chest plate of armor. I'm sure a little bit of work on this thing and it'll look much better than before. Great job anyhow!
my back hurts...

his left shoulder and upper arm seems very large compared to the left. :)

Thanks for crits! Check if it looks any better.

The B.O.B., the spear supposed to be somewhere between his feets. Also the large body is ok for epic hero (here I have a problem translating a good selfspeaking word "Bogatir"  ;) It is used in Russian folklore to describe extra healthy warriors :D). I agree with all the rest and was trying to improve.

EDIT: Is it possible to flip image horisontally in PHP? Would be awesome to add that feature for right click of the mouse!

Heh, remember this one from somewhere...;)

His left shoulder still bigger then right one, and the arm with a spear is too long from elbow to the wrist.=)

Anatomy - yes... last edit need some change ;)
I support comments from The B.O.B.  ;D His arm, it's not hercules (epic hero) hold a spear, maybe more manly
something like this:

And for composition the tip of spear maybe some up, because this is like as the spear a raise from shoulder.

good work anyway! :y:
