Great stuff! I really like Apache’s boots. It’s one of those details that you just notice right away.

Also, sorry if I’m sounding ignorant, ‘cos I probably am, but what’s up with Tetro’s swastika?

[Stulte]

Are you still Heromachining? You’ve got some great artwork here, and I’d love to see more.

[Stulte]

Holy shit, that’s awesome!

I’m not sure what’s going on, but I love it.

Yes, the shading is very subtle. I honestly wouldn’t even think it was shaded unless you said so. Like you say, if you don’t know they’re there it’s very hard to see the highlights.

Don’t be afraid to make the shading more prominent. You can get some great results by overdoing it, so to say.

That being said, the picture is very good. The faces and the posing work very well with the narrative.

I’d say Calvin and Hobbes, but I already know that I’m awesome…

Thank you, and I totally get if you don’t like it.

Too much depressing stuff in this thread right now. Let’s see how Malae is doing six months later.

Yeah, another unshaded one. I’ll try and have that fixed as soon as possible.

And if you get what this picture is referencing, then you are awesome.

Some more blue spirit animals, because they’re a blast to make.

[Stulte]

Yeah, that sunrise is amazing!

[Stulte]

Thank you, but I was referring to the choice of subject matter. Technically I think it’s pretty solid.

[Stulte]

This is the worst thing I have ever made.

[Stulte]

Thanks, man! I’ve used tattoos like that a few times before, they work pretty well for that.
I lost the last save before shading, and had to red0 some stuff, which is why there are differences between the two pictures. But if the rug looks better in the reconstructed version I guess it was worth it 🙂

May I ask what it is you prefer about the unshaded face?

 

Taupou Malae, daughter of Malietoa Kainano, having her first spiritual experience. Aged 8.

Yeah, another unfinished piece. I can only work on a crying, bleeding, blinded eight-year old child for so many hours before I start feeling like a complete and utter bastard. Sleep now, shading tomorrow.

By the way, maybe I should explain some of the Samoan terms I’m using:

Malietoa: One of the four Samoan paramount chiefs.
Taupou: The daughter of the Malietoa.
Tu’i Manu’a: Ruler of many islands (emperor).

Awesome! Great use of a cool palette.

@ RobM

Oh, I agree with that. I very rarely set up the entire body before adding clothes.
@ Trekkie

Well, it looks great 🙂

Many, many concepts get started and put on the shelf. I think I could just make a folder called WIP because that is what I put as file names on all of them. Maybe we should start a thread on sharing half made concepts….hmmmmm….

Oh, I had that same idea yesterday! Like a thread where we share texts of unfinished projects and let others tinker with them.
