My dark shaman/necromancer

[JL.Alfaro]

need help with the background on this, any C+C welcomed!!

[Zynic]

Very cool pic! :)
Here are some crits to help you get that extra punch in it ;D

* The fingers on the left hand look bit weird.

* The straps( on the armour ) that goes over his torso gras too much attention, and it doesn't look like they follow the surface of the skin.
Remember:
Bones -> Muscles -> Skin -> Clothes ;P

* If the hair is blowing that strongly upwards, shouldn't the cloak at least be affected a little bit? :P Even though it seems very thick, it should be affected by such a strong wind.

I can't help you with the background though :-/

Keep it up!

[Seedling]

For the background: decide on a setting, and then paint it in. It's up to you to make those big creative decisions.

[SwimmingArtist09]

Yes I absolutely agree that the background is completely up to I would advise you to picture out and imagine a Characterization for this person that you have drawn.(history behind him, what is his attitude, what lead him to use the power that he is using, is he in a parallel world or just a fantasy world, ect..)
Also I agree with Zynic that you should do something about the cloak.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers!

His neck is too long and i find it hard to see it as a part of his body, cos of the outfit. I'm not sure what exactly causes it, but it's weakening the pic overall. Head might be a li'l small too and i'm not sure if the dainty face matches the well trained body. A bit more pronounced cheekbones perhaps and a stronger chin?

Pretty good anatomy, though his fore arms are connected to the rest a li'l weird. Especially off on the rightarm. The way his arm is bent, can't make his hand/ wrist be seen as much from the front as is shown now. The arms go sideways, so putting his hand like that is very much owie or broken. I'd say: get rid of the pinky and change the current ringfinger to pinky, and then add another pointing finger in the back. And pay some more attention to his wrist.

Go wild on those folds, they seem fun! Hope to see a finished version soon, though perhaps with a more exciting bg.

I'm not really getting the feel of a dark shaman or necromancer. Accesorize a bit. Some magical artifacts, skulls, bones, etc.

the neck seems rather long

[firespirit]

Designwise, I'm not really liking the neck-dealy. It seems a bit absurd to have his neck covered when nothing else is. Not much else I can say other than it gives a strong Mortal Kombat vibe.

He seems to be missing his tendon where his bicep connects with his forearm in his right arm. His neck is a bit too long too.

[Slaving_maniac]

This guy's legs are odd. The back calf looks like it was hit with some roids and your front leg looks likes its thigh was stretched a bit and the muscles kind of thrown in there.

[s.ketch]

He looks like he was taking a step and decided to hold his arms in a weird position. Try relaxing him a little. It doesnt really look like he was moving while he was being drawn. Also it really isnt exciting. Try doing a sort of facing up and tilted shot of his body. Itll add drama to the scene. Your anatomy is in correct on your arms, torso, and legs too.

[llothcat]

like what the others said...plus:

with the lightning the way it is...I think more shadows would be a good idea.

[dindon]

He looks off balance, like he will fall over to the left. A bit of a rotation would probably fix that.
