[WIP] The Wizard

[smiker]

This is for the moment a monochrome composition. CC are wlcome, i want to improve it, or pass it to colour, i will do that today, i supose..


i have made an update:

this means that now i'm shading it correctly (i mean removing black lines, yeah ^^)
so wait for results ^^
...next day...
i have polished it a bit. please tell me what do you think ^^

little updated, i wonder if it's ok (beard looks more deep, more beard-like...^^) 
jad, tnx for the cc
you too saimo!

direct linking from deviantart is not a good practice. Upload the image to either photobucket.com, tinypic.com, or, if you must, imageshack. Also, it would be nice to post a static image of the final product so it is easier to critique without having to wait for the entire animation every 2 seconds.

I'd say the lineart looks like it has loads of potential, and if you fancy yourself experienced in the art of rendering, it will have a nice turnout. Can't wait to see more.

Your lineart is great! Indeed, you pushed it beyond by also defining shadows and details... at first I was wondering whether it was a bit of wasted work, given that it's going to be "replaced" by shades, but then I realized it could turn out to be a precious guide for shading.
If you manage to keep the quality also in the rest of the process, your piece will definitely rock!

Keep up the good work!

Just a smallie, you need to bring the darkest shade of the beard down to even darker, it looks like a huge fluff of cotton as it is. Look at the roughly colored version, the beard is much more readable there. O: Check it.

[smiker]

thanks!! i will fix it when i can

[smiker]

i have updated it.  what it is weak in?
i think that it looks a bit flat, on blue wears...do you agree?

[mangust]

Strange. Maybe it's just at me, but I am not see 3 last picture...

[smiker]

what a weird thing...

[Fool]

What is a point of heavy duty dithering on that? I think it's not really helping to create a volume, rather work as sandstone texture.

hey just relax...it goes on 15 color only, you can edit if you want and show me what are you talking about...
