Thank you all! I never expected so much feedback, and most of it is so nice, too!
Very nice work bud. I like the color range you are using although you might want to saturate some in very limites areas to pop your image more and accent the composition. The lighting on the character definitely seems odd to me considering the source. You have what looks like the main light source coming from between the mountains yet there seems to be another very strong light source coming from over head. Seems off to me. Last thing that seems odd to me is the pose, more specifically the finger pointing off is not as dynamic as it could be. Anyway in spite of my feedback its still a very strong piece of work.. Hope that is helpful, keep it up
Wow, thank you! Feedback from an actual character artist :woot: I know that lighting is not one of my strengths, I always struggle with it. The lighting makes no sense here, I have to admit. Most of the times I go with "what looks cool" instead of "what is right" - what is really dumb.
The pose is also something I did tinker on for a long time, I had no 1 on 1 reference for it and drawing human anatomy is another thing I do not have much training in right now. Thank you for taking your time to point that out, it really means a lot to me!
See, I'm 100% self trained, and just started about 2 years ago. I don't have this "natural talent" - every picture I do is a struggle for me. And feedback from a professional like you (and all you other guys here
) really is the pay-off and helps me to get better.
