Zonorhc Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I won't lie to you. To answer the question in the topic name, it can be classified as "crap." Honestly, you should learn to draw. It's easy to assume that your oh-so-intimidating warrior is holding two red-painted rectangular THINGS. Not only that, but what I can only assume is his shield is being held presumably with his hand. Also, he appears to be wearing a skin-tight teal outfit stretched over a particularly unfit body. And he wears goggles. Here are some points for you to note: - A shield straps to your forearm. - A helmet has eye slits and breathing holes, or a general-purpose opening. No goggles. - Plate mail is made from PLATES of metal fitted over each other to provide protection. Plate mail is NOT made from one piece of metal stretched over your skin. - You do not wear a WAIST BELT with plate mail armour. Such belts are for CLOTHING. - You do not hold a sword like that, because you're disgustingly open to attack. - Swords are not rectangular. - Sword hilts are not flat prisms. - It is utterly stupid to wear an amulet that hangs that low over plate mail. I'm tired of having to look at these kinds of pictures. If you're going to attempt to depict someone in armour or wielding weaponry, for the sake of whatever gods you worship, get it right. Don't just make some cheap latex suit knockoff and hope it's going to make you instantly rich. Now, to your technique. - Poor shading. Use more (and better) colours to bring out curves. Note that some curves are TOO pronounced, like the incredulously fat torso. - The focus takes up far too much space. There isn't enough room for a decent background or even to see any particular details. - The focus is centred. Observe the rule of thirds and phase it off to one side or the other. A focus in the centre of a picture degrades the image as a whole. - Background needs a LOT of work. Add trees, grass, clouds, etc., but only after you reduce the size of the focal character. Lasty, please, PLEASE, PLEASE stay away from referencing Runescape graphics. They're so overused and BORING.

Zonorhc Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Don't draw things as you see them in Runescape. It's one of the cardinal sins. Varrock Library: Shattered Sky | Silent Thunder | The Emperor's FinestAstri @ MythWeavers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
