Thunderdome 7 WIP (UPDATE!)

[dfacto]

Here's my WIP for Thunderdome. Its a guy in a combat suit flying upwards with two missles after him. I only have the guy really shaded and that is what I want to ask about. Is his shading alright? I have only put in the shadows and no highlights, but I want to get someone elses opinion on it before I go on.

Here's an update. Most of the shading and highlights laid down. Still lots to do, like stencils (?), cammo (?), paint, the visor, the shiny parts, and the engine exhaust and glow. Then on to the rest of the image.

BTW, most of the suit is matte finish so it isn't reflective. A few componenets will be, and those are the light gray ones.

i'd almost like to see the highlights and shadows reversed. (i'm looking at the right leg when saying that.) highlights on the front and back of the thigh, with a shadow down the inside.

where is the sun coming from? over his head?

Light is right to left downward diagonal, and slightly from his back.

If you want a better idea then almost aligned with his leg, but its off enough to give that shadow on the top side of the leg.

with the right smoke and lighting, this will look awesome... i look forward to it!

I've got my final or almost final submitted already.

I might change a few things there, but I have it pretty much done. Feel free to take a look.
