Lol @ The title - There's history to that :)

 

 

 

Anyway, Hey all. Hows'it going. Now I know most of my topics die but I thought I'd let you good people in on a little WIP im working on. Here tis... If you rip an unfinished signature, well...I dunno lol, but it's low :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know I still have to-

 

 

 

1: Fix up skin

 

2: Brighten Fire

 

3: Come up with new skin pallete + fix face?

 

3: Fix the shirt so it makes the pants look lower.

 

 

 

 

 

Go on guys (and girls) and post, you know you want to :)

 

 

 

Edit- Latest Update

 

 

 

 

~Hiimben- Yes, I know, I'll do it tomorrow...maybe~

His chin is to pointy. Other than that (and the skin) it is pretty good.

Thanks for that :) Have that fixed now :P

his nose is a different skin tone than the rest of his face other than that really good look forward to seeing it finished

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

-Dibsen

Thanks for the reply :P Heres a bit of an update :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

If anyone could comment on what to change/add, it would be appreciated :)

 

 

 

~Ben~

if hes holding a lamp should it be giving off light? :-#

mind u that might wreck it >.< 7.5/10 pretty good =D>

well the dithering looks too weird... it looks too much like a mosaic. try to add an intermediate color to make it look better...?

 

and last time i checked fire gave off light lol

His torso looks to small, either that or his pants are way too high. :shock: His thumb on the hand not holding the lantern looks broken. The face doesn't look too great with just 2 tones, add at least one intermediate and remove some of the dithering, dithering kind of takes away from what should be a fleshy tone. To all the people that say to add light from the lantern, I assume he would once he finished the background :?:

It's pretty good, but the fire seems a bit dull. His pants seem to come up a bit high, as well, as zeekyhbomb said. His mouth also looks a bit odd, almost as if he was about to throw up... And, it looks like when you curved the chin more, you just drew a line, and didn't get rid of the stuff below it.

 

 

 

Also... What's the background going to be?

Hey Ben, I havn't seen you in the Gallery for a while. You need to fix up the skin a bit though, but you already know that.

Pretty good so far. Not quite sure where you're going with this, but I think the picture would be a lot better if the lantern were much brighter, and the fire reflected onto the character (and whatever else you plan on adding in your picture). Because right now it looks really dark, and the flame isn't that bright (which is weird, since I think it should be).

 

 

 

Just a few suggestions :) Looking forward to seeing your progress.

the fires a bit dull...

 

 

 

maybe make it brighter and have some light casted on the person and surroundings?

 

 

 

 

 

Edit:

 

*looks up a post*

 

*lol, i didnt read the replies before i posted

Thanks all, appreciate the comments :) I'll be adding...

 

 

 

2:Brighten Fire

 

3:Come up with new skin pallete + fix face?

 

3:Fix the shirt so it makes the pants look lower.

 

 

 

to the list :)

 

 

 

Lol, :) I tried to add the fire lighting on the jacket, I thought that was done alright, but I can add some more around where the jacket would have light there. :P

Hey everyone, this any better?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments are extremely appreciated :P

 

 

 

~Ben~

wow the man looks very detailed, you really are improving, try making the backgrounds more wide though.

 

 

 

once again, thanks for this wonderful sig!

Hey everyone, this any better?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments are extremely appreciated :P

 

 

 

~Ben~

 

 

 

still very dull. if its a dark room (and it looks like it will be) the fire should be much brighter. (contrast :boohoo: )

 

 

 

and update ur first post - dont make us search for them :XD:

Hey everyone, this any better?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Agreed with WeeBoab. The fire doesn't even feel like fire at the moment., to be truly honest with you. Check out the fire in my sig (not saying it's the way fire should be though, there's lots of ways of pixelling it) - the colours are a lot more drastic than a couple of dull oranges.

 

 

 

And I've noticed, Ben, that you've got a grudge against contrast. :P You've definitely added a lot more darker shades in your more recent pixels, and that's great. :) Kudos to you.

 

 

 

The right eye looks a little too enlarged.

 

 

 

Good luck. :D

Thanks for the replies everyone, Really appreciate it that people are enjoying it.

 

 

 

Heres a bit of an update, I know theres still a lot to do, but im working on it :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

Still gotta fix fire :P

 

 

 

Posts are still encouraged and appreciated :P

nice work hiimben, your proportions are pretty good, the placement of everything seems pretty good and it certainly looks like you know what you're doing..

 

 

 

My crits would be that with a fire in a dark room everything would be lit up much more that you have illustrated, even on a low flame I'd expect more contrast.. I've made a rough edit on the face to demonstrate;

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'd up the contrast firstly, and definately change the hues of each shade because the light emitted from the flame would effect everything much differently than an ordinary white light would.

 

 

 

its essential to add those highlights, it further acts towards giving the face some shape..

 

 

 

gl

The fire needs to be more saturated, and your peice in all needs higher conrast..the face could use another highlight tone aswell.

 

 

 

EDIT:damn Terley beat me too it :oops:

lol himb. <3 the background. ancient egyptian like symbols then a random R :wall:

Thanks all for posting, and thanks again to Terly :P That helps a lot :P

 

 

 

And the random R is not so random than you think. It has a line through the right side and it is the egyptian symbol for Rx lol :P. Thanks everyone. I'll work on it :P

 

 

 

Thanks again all :)

Bit of an update for all of you :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's everyone think?

 

 

 

:P

 

~Hiimben~

I'm wrong, or Your character is light source? Look at wall after him, here are two lights, for candle and for chara, is'nt it mistake??

 

 

 

Secound. Fix shade, make it better, square by square, i think you know what i mean, becouse i dont know how to explane it :D

 

 

 

Third. Cool :D

 

 

 

Edit (2):

 

 

 

Make items made of gold, they must shine!

 

 

 

Do you want tutorial "how to draw realistic or manga" faces and hands?

 

I think you dont really know how to draw hands, its nothing bad, but its nice to know it :)

 

 

 

P.S. (to your faces)

 

Look for proparies(i think its good writen -.-):

 

Eyes should be like that: O O
