Just for fun.

Note: I got alot of different looks, so don't be fooled by my avatar.

Just some color tests in the end there, not what it is going to look like if I ever finnish this.

Nice of you to show the different steps... although I don't see why you split the chest into different polygonal shapes - I'm sure you could have shaded them fine without.

What're you using to color it? I don't really find it appropriate, whatever it is.

Nice sorta does look like your character ;)

Thanks :D

The steps:
1: The scetch is made with a ball point pen
2: I scanned it, took it into Adobe Photoshop and changed the colors to black and white.
3: Made a new white layer with some opacity on. And started to fix up some of the perspective with the "polygon help lines"
4: Started tracing it with a generic brush.
5: Just tested out some colors, not important, since its not going to be used.

Ah, I was under the impression you'd pull a futurama style or something. >_<

Hehe, nah, I am not sure about the style yet, but I will make gradings and shadows and stuff I guess.
To first just made a base color is smart, then add more and more detail as you go along, not to start with the full details, if that makes sense.

Worked a little on the coloring and shading of the face.

That is strangely disgusting.

Well, I hope the hair doesnt stay like that, lol. Other than that, nice.

So far:
Face looks more 3D than the rest
Hair looks like it's scribbled on with a crayon (I do that a lot so I know :))
Other than that, looks good.

Hair = awesome, face = awesome, mask doesn't fit in still.

Nice job with the hair, fix the mask though.

thanks, but don't you guys see that its a work in progress?
Do you have so little faith in me :P?

The proportions of his facial features are really pretty disturbing.

oh well.. this is the style I want to go with.

Much better.

What Stephen is trying to say is, that he looks like an old man or a zombie or a beetles head

I'd rather hear what Stefpen means then you using his name for what you think.
Besides, I am looking for constructive crits, not just gibberish.

It's very nice, except the ear needs some work ... It's too ... straight ... or something.

Actually, he's dead on.
I guess if you consider "The proportions of his facial features are really pretty disturbing" gibberish, you either live within the Mensa facility, or a trailer.

Obviously I think the proportion of his facial features (mouth, nose, eyes, & their locations) are off - so much so that I find it disturbing... it really doesn't get anymore clear than that x_x

I agree, I will fix it eventually.

Very well, your oppinion. Besides, I thought Elk's post was giberrish, not yours.
And if you look at graal characters, the propotions are very much off. I'm not going for a realistic human here, but an extream.

You ask for criticism, but when you receive you instead justify yourself?

You're not ready for criticism, I'd say. x_x

I am ready to take the crits if I do something wrong, but if its a matter of taste, it's something else I think. You just don't like the propotions, but I ment it to be that way. If I had drawn shadows wrong or something, I would take it.

I think you have to get rid of the black lines in the ear.

The Ear looks a bit off laterally, or maybe its just me.

sykt fett trifle :D

Very nice :O That looks like an awesome.. elf? ^^

I will fix the ear.
(takker ja, og godt nytt år) thanks Chompy :D

Stop the gibberish and get back to work! :pluffy:

Way to go triffle.

Strunta i vissa idioters kommentarer speciellt Elk. Han är en åsna! :D

But I think the ear needs some work aswell, as previous posters noticed aswell.

yea especially elk :) because i gave criticm

Hehe, Versågod, og godt nytt år til deg selv og! :)

Hehe, eg tror han skjønte noen av de ordene, du xD



Anyways, trifle, I like it, but did you fix the ear yet? ^^

you know, we should speak english here, not swedish
this is an english forum

Lass uns halt anfangen deutsch zu sprechen?

ne das verstehn ja auch so viele, und am ende bekommen wir infractions

Thanks for the comments so far, might start doodling on the ear later.

hehe, one was speaking swedish, and two were speaking norwegian :P

And now resume the discussion in english, or it'll get closed.

Wow you are sweet Sam.

Anyways..

Looks pretty neat imo, just the pointy ears are kinda wtf.

Ima make one of those now :)
