Looking good so far. What's he supposed to be doing though?

Charging into the fray! still needs a sword and feet and maybe a shield haven't decided, I like his forearm:P Thanks :)

Ah yes now I see. His knee just looked very raised, as if he was standing over something. :)

That's a good idea, maybe ill have him crushing a giants head or somefin :)

hmm u could maybe make the sword a bit longer, looks a bit puny ATM, IMO

it's actually a very long sword, its just tilted towards the viewer, hopefully that'll show more once I color it in. Thanks for taking a peep

what sword?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

well there are some major anatomy problems with his torso and everything still looks a bit sketchy but I know your end result is always pretty awesome, just goodluck with this, Its pretty difficult position to draw.

LOL thanks Terley, yea anatomy is still a major issue with me, but I work on it as I go along. Learnig through experience I guess :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Might have to refresh the page to see the sword.

quick edit to ehlp point out some anatomy problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Little update to give an idea of where I'm going with this. :)

Now both arms are colored in :P

The possistion of the blade seems to be contradicting the possisition of the fist. Other than that it looks amazing, I have no idea how you do something like that... :shock:

Awesome work, the arms are looking great :D

 

 

 

though gotta say, he doesn't seem to have any wrists and that hilt seems awfully thin... :P

Great job so far :D Not a ton to comment on yet, but I can't wait to see how it progresses :)

Coloring is very nice. Anatomy is bit off but other than that it's very nice. =D>

Yeah, I agree your anatomy is a bit awkward... but it looks as if your shadeing is gonna blow that outa the water... :shock:

anatomy on the arms are AMAZING! especially the muscles. what prog u usin? flasheh?

I think the forarm needs to be closer to his body.

Thanks for the comments. :) The sword and hands still need some work, I'll get it figured out though. As far as wierd anatomy well, that sjust how it turns out sometimes. I'm not as concerned with anatomy as the feel of the art. ANatomy isn't everything after all. :) I am using photshop fyi. Regular brushes and smudge tool mainly.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a smallish update, started working on the chainmail a bit and smoothed the arms a little more.

Hey that hairy barbarian looks like my English teacher!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very nice dude, I love the attention to detail and the anatomy and muscle structure is excellent. good job, can't wait to see it finished.

I was not happy with how the chain mail was looking so I changed it, any comments on it? Curious what people think.

You might need to reload the pic for the most recent version of it.

New update, worked on head and helmet, still trying to get chainmail to my liking this is closer, not sure what more i can do. Any suggestions on the chainmail are welcome.
