Hi guys!
Here is my last painting, and I would be very grateful if I can get some feedback from you :perv:

Thanks in advice!

I like the look of him, he has an intense face, and the eyeshine is a nice touch.

His pose looks a little stiff. Maybe thats the intent.

What is he trying to convey in his posture? At the moment he looks as though he's got a stomach ache.

I think if you could somehow bring the forearms a little further up on his chest and lean him back a little, it might add to the menacing look.

I love your texture on his armor.

great stuff.

Thanks man for your words.
Yes, I need to work more on the character pose. It looks a bit stiff, as you said.
Should be more relaxed.

Now I now where I need to work more :D

Thanks man!

the pose is very static. it kinda works and it kinda doesnt.
i get u are tryin to show that he is "powerful, strong, fearless" right?
but at the same time the pose is a little boring...

like th eother guy said, lean him back a little. and bring the arms up. cuz he looks kinda like he is leaning forward. maybe thats just me. maybe its the shoulder pads.

anyway, the armor and chest seems flat too. kinda "cut and paste". try to give him more of a round shape or sumthin.

hope i was some help and lets see an update.

The texturing on his ringmail is very static. All the rows point the same direction regardless of the his arm being bent, there's no folds in it or anything. That aside not bad.

[Vulgar`]

The head design should be slightly more centered. The disproportion of his shoulder muscle build (supported by the armor) should come out to blend with hip thickness and other body structure. It appears as though he's bending over in a miniscule fashion - a straightening or increase in height would solve that problem. Hope any suggestions have helped,

Keep doing you
