so i just copied the chat we had, it wont really make sense with my replies out of context so I edited it a bit
Tim: really nice contrast Tim: on the lunar mystic I think it might look good if some of the light hit his hood Victor Quaresma: yeah I was gonna do that, it was on the initial sketch Tim: and the smoke is a bit to photoshopy still Victor Quaresma: but it would give me tons of problems regarding his positioning Victor Quaresma: not sure on what to do for the staff also Tim: Id maybe add it in a new layer and just really carfully erase it back with a soft brush Tim: give the staff a super bright highligt on the top and soften the edges on most of the stuff going on in the background Tim: I think his hand could do with some softening aswell Tim: and just pick out the lines you want sharp Tim: its actualy easyer to soften things and then go in ad add hard edges Tim: kinda the opesat of olis Tim: I kinda like how he disapares into the background Tim: the other guy is looking very good, but again the thing about his chin. it looks like you got some forshortening going on but his head doesent show that and the thing with the angle. very nice rendering though. highlights need some soft edges.
Tim: and I'd recomend bluring the background a bit Tim: oh and tone down the edge light on the his back It should just be barely visible seeig as the background is black
oh and his hand seemes to be at a kinda wrong angle
Victor Quaresma: and how do you think I can fix the mystic guy value wise? Victor Quaresma: I feel like it needs more contrast Victor Quaresma: but not sure if I should darken up the darks Tim: Im not so sure it needs fixing Victor Quaresma: or add more highlights on the shadows Tim: yea those things are allways good Victor Quaresma: maybe I should add some details on the background ictor Quaresma: I feel it is too simple Tim: Im not against using black or white myself Tim: I usualy try to say away from black when working with color tim: but it looks awsome if done right

ReplyDeleteTim: really nice contrast
Tim: on the lunar mystic I think it might look good if some of the light hit his hood
Victor Quaresma: yeah I was gonna do that, it was on the initial sketch
Tim: and the smoke is a bit to photoshopy still
Victor Quaresma: but it would give me tons of problems regarding his positioning
Victor Quaresma: not sure on what to do for the staff also
Tim: Id maybe add it in a new layer and just really carfully erase it back with a soft brush
Tim: give the staff a super bright highligt on the top and soften the edges on most of the stuff going on in the background
Tim: I think his hand could do with some softening aswell
Tim: and just pick out the lines you want sharp
Tim: its actualy easyer to soften things and then go in ad add hard edges
Tim: kinda the opesat of olis
Tim: I kinda like how he disapares into the background
Tim: the other guy is looking very good, but again the thing about his chin.

Tim: speculars are pretty sexy
