GhostThruster: need permission from the author of the model to upload a screenshot icon. if you do get it, pm me and i'll set this back to pending.

GhostThruster: permission shown, though you still need to either draw him a fitting jaw & mouth, or choose an angle that better depicts the model.

GhostThruster: no changes made.

Well I suggest to brighten it up a bit because the contrast really makes the details difficult to see and make it in a different angle.

I tried turning up the brightness but it doesn't look any better, the angle is supossed to be the same as the myrmidon angle.

Use the dodge tool to bring out the highlights. The image is nice but too dark.

Here is an example:



Sorry for the unauthorized edit.
I placed lines across so no one could use it.
2 minutes with the dodge & burn tool.

Still a bit dark and blurry. Did you use burn and dodge? I would up the contrast a tad too. Maybe sharpen a little. Mostly the burn and dodge though. Set the strength low though and use them sparingly. Notice how I darkened the outside and lightened the center. This draws the image out and makes it look more 3D.

I don't use photoshop But I will dl it now and I'll try to fix the image

Edit: Done, how is it now?

Looks much better, but now I would darken the shadows. It needs more shading so that it looks like there is light coming in from a direction. If you notice in my example, I highlighted the top of the head and the snout and darkened the gills behind the head. This brings out the shape. Try shading the side of the face and the background with the burn tool (

). Set the strength on low.

No need to download pixlr, lol.

I think you should back up the head a little, is too closer

Agreed with Warseeker..

You can start a tutorial..

Also, on your next update use "f8zcg4" as model id to link the Tarrasque's model to icon.

Edit:
One more thing, shorten the link of model to "http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/models-530/incursor-49866/"

 

[Krakenn99]

Okay updated it. Hope this is better. Anything I can improve? Also I can't link the model cuz I don't own it.

 

[GhostThruster]

your shading is fine, but the angle you used makes the guy look mouthless and jawless, which is completely the opposite of the head seen in the model. the big difference in sharpness between his head and the armour below it also makes his head look disjointed from his torso.

also where dat permission at

I already said that the angle is almost the same as the myrmidon one. And yea idk where my permission is.

Yeah,but this isn't the same as the naga myrmidon
Maybe a slightly more zoomed out and side ways angle can show off his mouth better yet show all the detail

 

[GhostThruster]

well there's no harm in experimenting with a few different angles to see which one suits the model the best :3
try whitefang's suggestion as a starter.

 

[Warseeker]

Okay I see you've back up the head which looks good with that, but the head form is kinda weird for a myrmidon naga.

 

[Legal_Ease]

I think this looks really great now. There are things you could do to make it better, but at this point you have already come so far. I vote for approval!
