I'm liking the cloth, though I guess I can see why you might feel it's unfinished -- the lines cutting into it to make the patterns look quick and sketchy (not nec. a bad thing tho)

coolest bit for me are the sword hilts popping out the back, sweetens the composition

[Ninja_ASSN]

My jaw felt down... it's epic!

[Evil_Dan]

Ty, thats an amazing pic. I think maybe it would be cool to introduce another color into the clothing. Maybe a bright red or white, not really sure. :chug:

[Chiba]

very nice...
my suggestion is that the cloak actually looks more 3 dimensional than the face, making his head seem flat
other than that it seems pretty good...maybe a little bit of a lighter colour somewhere amongst the robes would help to balance the white of the face too...
that's what i reckon anyway...

[mcotie]

sweet

[jrr]

yeah he's pretty dark, but can you make him,,, darker?!!!!! :cool: :cool:

[Payback]

I think you managed to get the right colors after all. Same thing with the background. But I do think those lines in the robe looks a bit too scribbled on there, as if you got bored with it.

Anyway,great picture.

[smellybug]

Epic is right. Very elegant. Looks like poster for some kind of Vagnerian (sp?) opera. The face seems maybe a little like a different style from the costume, but then it does give it a focus. Cool.

[smellybug]

oops....Wagnerian. Heh.

[blackhand]

It's good to see that you finished this piece, Ty.

I think the lines in the cloth work to good effect. The design is very reminiscent of a pheasant. I dunno, that's just what it reminds me of--the browns and the patterns in the cloth.

I'm curious to see now what the design underneath the cloak is.

[ghettomasterchen]

nice boogie, u have that rough style of digi-painting gives the piece a certain sense of strong contrast.

one suggestion, it might be cool to have the subject at a slight one point perspective as if the view is looking upwards at him at a slight angle. further enhance the dynamics to the composition. would also like to see the design revealed underneath the cloak.

keep up the good work.

[darkcult]

KA-BLAAAM!
:chug:

[AfroLaxMan]

this is nice, i like this alot. cool design.

[killing.people]

it turned out really really nice.

[thomasaurus]

glad to see it finished! It looks great.

[foster]

wow! this one is fun! you got me hooked, i want to know more about this character and the world he lives in.

excellent work!

jon

[Lono]

Thats awsome Ty!

i love it.

-LOno

[Tedsuo]

That's sweet dude. It feels a little crowded up at the top though,

[Blackarts]

this has a very interesting feel...I really like his pale face. I agree that it's a bit crowded toawrds the top, but still a cool piece.

[tyboogie]

wow --glad everyone liked this one:chug:

grey--yea i tried doing the lines tighter but it just felt too stiff
im glad they read as sword handles

ninja assn--thanks man--thats the best compliment!

danny--you think its alittle too desaturated or the design of teh cape is just too simple color wise---lets get beers soon:chug:

chiba--good points--i actually wanted the contrast between the face and costume--thanks

mcotie--thank you sir! BTW i recently saw your dogs of war thunderdome entry OMG amazing.

payback-im not gonna lie it was like 4 in the morning when i finished this , but now i have a starting point for this character design wise--thanks!

jrr---hmmmm, ill see what i can do:firedevil

smelly bug--cool thanks--i think my artistic sensibilities definitley lean towards that kind of a thing so im glad you got that impression

blackhand--thanks bro--hmmmm--ill have to do some research and see if i cant push the design of the costume by looking at some pheasant refs--good call

ghettomasta--thanks duuuuude--my work tends to be flat so thanks for the reminder

darkcult--BOOYA!:chug:

afro--thank you--congrats on the new baby

killingpeople--glad you like--thanks!!

Jnorish--gracias me amigo

Foster--thanks for the encouragement- theres much more of this to come--i plan on developing a story--
i just havent decided if he should be the pro or antagonist
if i got YOU hooked im on the right path
thanks again

Lono--glad you like bro

tedsuo--thanks--you think the headdress and shoulder area is too busy compared to the rest?

blackarts--hmmm--ill rethink the crowded factor on my next pass at this character



thanks again peeples:batman: :

[ummo]

exquisite!! something about it makes me mouth water :beer:

[tyboogie]

well then have a beer on me Ummo!:chug:

btw--MUM is my new favorite band--really ambient stuff

[Tedsuo]

ty: No no, not at all! It just feels like there's not enough space between the center of interest and the edge of the canvas, is all. I tried doing a PO, but after 15 minutes my own objectivity went out the window as well. Doh!

[yipper]

yowza! been away from the boards lately and look at what i missed out on. great design, the muted ochre color scheme works very well. i agree with dan about adding a bright color. maybe something graphic to work inside the already strong silhouette that you've created. sweet...!

[tyboogie]

tedsuo--gotcha dude--thanks


yipper--sup T-thanks bro--ill try an extra color on my next pass with this character--lets get drinks again soon!!:chug:
