I had to do that positively succulent gundam of Radioactivity's.

I tried some stuff out here. Hope it worked out.

Just a thought: dithering doesn't usually work too well on metal.  That and the colors don't define the form very well.  It would help if you differentiated between the darkness of the colors more; there's plenty of hue differentiation (were you trying for 3 lightsources or something?), but the mech seems really flat from lack of value differences.  The internal black lines don't help much either.  That's more than one thought.  Whatever.  It's 1:00 in the morning.  Good luck with the mech; that's some really complex lineart.
Always remember: a preposition is not something you should end a sentence with.

Yeah, I agree robalan, dithering gives metal a different texture to.... metal. So, it won't look right if it's dithered, unless the artist is going for a particular style or whatever.
Look for your friends, but do not trust a hope. It is forsaken these lands....

Something I did when bored today.  like 10 minutes in total.

Back from hiatus, just remembered how excellent this community is at forming technique in a fledgeling artist of any kind.

Bill has badass dithering. :)
And it's on metal too! (Even though it's a much larger piece. =/)

Shadow wolf: the eyes take away from the rest of the piece, they look flat. Also, shading on the torso doesn't quite fit with the one on the legs (the legs look better) and head. I'd tweak that, changing the highlights further up the torso and adding an extra middle shade between lightest and midtone.

Blick, you really should finish that, for the sake of mankind. Her skin is a bit low on contrast, if possible try to work that with the palette.

Badassbill: oh wow. Looking good, good luck with that huge thing.

Sohashu: the shading on the tail and lower leg shouldn't be gradients of the upper leg. Your shading should try to define each of the parts of the dragon separately, as lighting hits these surfaces in different manners and angles. And maybe a bit less saturation would look nice.

Something i'll be colouring ocasionally, might as well share.





Lots of reptiles in this thread...
