Cursed warrior.

The description for this character included eight inch wide feet (?) and the ability to drain life out of plant life. Plus he had to look exhausted .
How did I do ? :)

What did I do wrong ? :).

eight inch wide feet? wtf? :confused:

I definitely think the second piece looks better, the contrast really helps push the forms. The hands (especially his right one on the tree) look a little too ambiguous I think. Can't really tell what's going with that hand on the tree. IMO, if you are going to use the purple light eminating from the tree you should carry over some purple lighting to the figure's right side.

I really like the piece, though. Post more!

You did i good. Big feet, sucks life, exhausted, all there, all good.

I havent got any crits for you, except that the lifesucking from the tree could have a bit more glow. More magic. Perhaps have some kind of purple shit going up his arm, you know like those glassballs you touch and theres this lightning coming from the center towards you finger? Just an idea, it works as it is.

But whats it for?

Edit: Strych9ine beat me to the post, sorry for repeating things...

second pick is better. He looks tired and has big feet. The plant sucking is hard to see. That side is too dark. I had to read the description to see what was going on.

i agree with the whole enhancing the "tree sucking" thing. make the power glow brighter and show some of that purple light on his arm and side. also as far as looking tired... well right now he looks like he's getting high off the tree's power. i'd have him kneeling down on one knee (probably the back one so you can still see the big front foot) and maybe hang his head down a little more. you know? other that that i think it looks pretty good. way to pull a picture out of a pretty vague description. good job

strych9ine : Thank you. I used the contrasted one. My commisioner didn't want the purple light , and decided he didn't really want to emphasise the plant life sucking :).

OLSEN: Thank you. As I said, the glow is all gone now :). What is it for?.. It is a character commision. Usually when I have a low drive for art pieces and don't feel like coming up with stuff on my own, commisions come into play. Usually the descriptions I receive are enough to get my juices flowing again, plus more of a reason to try asnd improve my drawing hand :). :).

Howdy: Thank you. No more focus of the life sucking part anymore. :)

Capt.Harlock: Thank you. Changing the pose, yep, you're right there... I should definitelly do more pose sketches before getting into color. Will keep this in mind for all future work :).

I agree with changing the pose, because I really wouldn`t go hanging backwards when i`m exhausted, on the count of falling down. Right now he looks more like he`s having an orgasm.

I`d have him with both hands on that tree, because he really wants the life out of it. Perhaps leaning against it with his head down, gasping for breath, sword somewhere in his hands, like between his hand and the tree.
