Samurai

[Bo]

big improvements in the last version

[Kazuya Mochu]

I think you fail on the prespective of the arm. if the arm is so perpendicular to the light of sight, then maybe we should see a bit of the elbow. also the sword messes up the prespective, because the handle has a normal size and prespective, but the blade looks in prespective, plus it's short. so it looks like its going away from the viewer. only samurai swords are a bit more bend, specially ig you see them from that angle, you can  really tell they are bent.

and finally, I cant really see how he is holding it. are the fingers pointing down, or up? is the thumb over or under the handle?

take care,

Kazuya

well the thumb is clearly below the handle

[Kazuya Mochu]

you are right!

so, he's holding his sword backwards and pointing it back. shouldn't the position of the sword for the hand to bend a little more? so we would see less of the fingers and more of the wrist?

any ways, dich dude, i'm just being really picky. It works the way it is, but it would be cool if you could put some more dinamic into it, and fixing the prespective would help.

keep it up!

Thanks for comments!
Yes, you right and I shall think about hand and shadowing on left hand for best visualization of the  prespective.

Fingers pointing up.

i just noticed that it seems like you tried some dithering on the top of the pants.
i looks realy random and could use some improvement.

Of course, I shall use the dithering, possible come to add one or two colours for the first personage.

So little changes, because I have not enough time.

Really nice WIP. I like...
MORE.
SAVORY... MORE...

Anyways, I still think the foreshortened hand can still be a bit larger.
The blade could get a little thinner as it moves away from the POV.
