I don't do many signatures anymore.. but I'm making one for Enipeus.. just posting this in a hope that it will help me remain motivated, and working.. Working on the hair, cape, party hat, anvil, and hammer currently.. background soon to come.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments, criticisms welcomed.

 

 

 

UPDATE:

 

 

 

Added a rough background, and I tried to modify the points brought up in the comments, especially towards the arm, and the party hat. I also did some basic coloring. Whoo.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final (for now...):

 

 

 

 

thanks for all your input, comments, and criticism guys

The arm and hand looks like a photo... :shock:

 

 

 

Looking great, can't wait to see the finished piece.

Wow, looks good.

 

 

 

Can't wait untill it's finished.

Thanks guys, I am quite proud of the arm and hand, Kaphias :

i like it alot, but i think enipeus nose is alot bigger? :lol:

Good job so far but I think the arm looks a bit dislocated? Keep it up and it'll look fantastic.

Cool. The nose is freakin' huge tho :shock:

 

His shoulders are a bit too high too

nose is fine im just rippiin on enipeus :P

amazing work. a few things look funny though, the shoulder/ neck is to flat, there should be a bit more of a hump showing he is leaning over, and the left arm's placement seems off too. you should see a bit more of the arm, a bit higher up if you get what i mean. and the amulet is way to low and the curve of the necklace part doesnt match the neck.

 

 

 

EDIT: decided i would go on paint and show what i mean on things to fix, or to take in to consideration. was roughly done, but you get the picture

 

 

 

 

 

 

pretty small edits but things that stuck out in my eyes

Looks great so far, hand and arm = :o. The only thing I don't like is the shading on his face, it seems pillow shaded. Don't get me wrong, it works sometimes, but I think you used a bit too much of it here.

 

 

 

 

Ah thanks a lot mate, an update coming shortly. I really appreciate everyone's comments, thanks. :)

I really like the anatomy of the hand and arm, but the rest of the piece looks like it isnt. Another thing is that the party hat sits right on top of the tilted head, this makes it look like the characters face is deformed or has otherwize massive features. I suggest tilting the phat forward too.

 

 

 

It is a marvel, but some things, like the lack of contrast and some minor errors distract the eye from the piece.

 

 

 

Good luck, I'll be waiting to see an update on it

it looks great mate don't listen to these nubs :D

 

 

 

and heres da latest update you've pm'd me

 

Thanks mate : But I can go even further, with another semi update.. fixed the arm holding the sword, now to shade it..

 

 

 

oh yeah, the only thing kinda bugging me I forgot to mention was why the other part of the hammer is shiny too?

 

 

 

I kind of think the arm looked better before maybe settle in the middle of the two of them.

well done :D

 

 

 

Arm looks fantastic. i see you used transparency? or just used pixels to anti alias the arm?

Nope, I just used manual AA Thanks for the comment :)

Amazing pixel signature. Can't wait to see the end result.

Arm looked better and more natural before the 'fix'. All of yaff's 'fixes' would make it look worse, in my opinion.

hmm thanks for your input.. I will be wrestling with that arm for a bit, to get it looking as natural as possible. Update tomorrow, perhaps.

not really if you think about it, go stand in that position and tell me where your arm is most comfortable, you wouldnt have it right tight against your body, you would tire out very fast, and it didnt look right either. but to each his own i guess :P

I think the arm was fine in the beginning but you're right about the fury not curving at his neck.

i dont think the blue phat is blue enough

You're right, but that is because it looks silly in such a deep blue, that runescape uses. Perhaps that's just a style choice though, and it may be changed.. I appreciate all these comments. :)

really, I thought the blue was still in wip I like how blue partyhats are dark blue but it would look good the way you have it too.
