Well, I was sketching a bit this morning, and decided to turn it into a free lineart, so everyone here could practice with it..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do what you want with it, colour, shade, add on to it, change it, whatever, but dont sell it :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Id love to see some results here..

Nice one 8)

Oh, I forgot to mention, he has no arms :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks TJ :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heh noob shader :oops: Well I tried, it looked like you started arms ao I made it look like it but you probably didn't because I am just stupid and blind :oops: :lol:

The stuff coming from his shoulderpads is also cloth.. Its part of the cape/cloack he's wearing.. Theres also a bit of cloth around his neck, under the mouth-protector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To comment on your piece:

 

 

 

First of all, you need alot more contrast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, pick a lightsource, lets say, upperleft corner?

 

 

 

Shade according to it.

 

 

 

That means shadows will fall at the lower right corner of the things he's wearing. See the things as if they are round, think how they would look like irl, and try to shade them like that. For example, the upperleg-pad thingies, they have the general shape of a cilinder. They go halfway around his legs, so it would be obvious that the parts where the light doesnt reach, its dark.

 

 

 

The parts where the light hits it, its very bright, as it is metal. Metal has lots of contrast.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try to do this with every single aprt of the armour. It may take alot of time, but you will improve by doing this..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for having a go :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I know I'm horrible, i'm still beginning to learn :lol:

You'd better add this to the title :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Phr33 st0ff Pl0x :twisted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anyway i suggest ppl try to add the arms themselves...i mean...he looks soooooooo sad without them (poor buddy).

 

 

 

I'd say he's arms are covered by the mantle...but...make some tiny parts of them pop up somehow :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Keep it up

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I changed a few of my mistakes, made the cloth under his helmet look like it was his cape around his neck because I thought it looked cool :P Made colors darker to make him look mere evil, just fixed some areas I missed and did other things, I will try to make the shading look a little better even though I worked on it a bit :oops:

i couldnt be bothered finishing :cry: this guy loves colours :?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(bad shading)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks DementedHero

i've done the legs, shoulders and 'eye patches' so far - gotta say i think they're looking pretty good.

That's what i came up with whilst at work experience so far, i have a few more days there so i'll hopefully get it finished by then.
