Elfsilver... Do not use burn, you can only use burn once you stop using burn because you will no longer need it... same goes for dodge.

Although that looks like something Confucius would say... it is the truth

"You can only master the burn once the burn has mastered you!"

Burn and dodge? No way man, its airbrushing with 15% pressure through a variety of dark reds, blacks, pinks, and whites.

Ok not going to argue but eh... there is something missing, but if thats not it... Idk what to tell you.

Ok, here's a WIP of my concept of a Death Knight, based off the Arthas model.

I've just started a few minutes ago on the face. So far, so good. I still have to shade around the nose area, but I got the basics done.

 

[Hawkwing]

To put it straight, the hair sucks. Zoomed out the hair will look like one opaque blob. You need to add more contrast and thicker strands. Also, with your current skin tone this looks more like a Night Elf than a Death Knight. It needs to be less saturated.

 

[Grog50]

Its very early to judge that wip. You havent even outlined the facial structure. Eyes are too small also

 

[Ezikielth]

OK, I was trying out shading spheres when I came up with this. The Hive Workshop's very own Christmas ornament.

See how that looks like it is covered with saran wrap? and same thing with your red orcs ears... dodge and burn does that... if you used a diff method the light looks more diffused and thus better... dodge and burn should only be used when you are making something that is glass, plastic or burnt.

Oh and the flag looks CnP, maybe it is just me. However, I like CnP... but others wont so you might want to change that. My philosophy is that if it looks good and doesnt piss anyone off it works.
-I am afraid thats not what the rest of the hive thinks though.


No, I am not trying to ruin your rep or get you and infraction, I am just trying to help you. So please dont take this as an assault on your ability to create art or your status as an artist... you are making art in the first place so that makes you an artist. I am just trying to take a lump of clay and turn it into a sculpture.

Bump with a new texture. I just started a few minutes ago, and have only gotten basics done on the face. Just finished the eyes, but I still need to play around with them to wrap correctly.

 

[ike_ike]

Jeebus. What's with the outer glow? You COULD just use a low opacity brush, y'know. Easier to control, easier to edit and all that. Also, the shape of the eye looks a bit off.

Moo. I await further progress.

 

[Hawkwing]

Well, the skin sucks so far, the hair needs to have thicker strands, and fix the eyes, like ike_ike said.

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Im wrapping up the face. Fixed the eyes, added more shading around the nose, and added some lips that look terrible no matter how I try.

 

[Grog50]

Your skins lack definition for the most part. They need to be a lot less smooth.

 

[THE_END]

Of course, I already see where this skin is going..Blood Elf
You need to make sure you change enough on his face to make it look elvish
Pronounced cheek bones and good shading on his face are needed

Im skinning a younger version of kael, in his teenage years, so I want to stay out of the prounounced features and keep it softly shaded. I probably should add some more shadows underneath the jaw too.

Maybe so, but features are freakishly unpronounced.

 

[THE_END]

Yea, it's almost cartoony..wait....no wai

 

[Elfsilver Lord]

Its just the basics Hawk and THE_END. Its just an outline.
