My Graal Character WIP

Just for fun.
constructive crits and comments are welcome.

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.

Thanks

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.

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.

The proportions of his facial features are really pretty disturbing.
