It is pretty good, altough for this part of it.
Use the burn tool and smugde it a bit for better effects.

thx ^_^

ive been using the burn tool for shading. im just trying to stay away from the smudge tool

dont use those tools, 99% people cant use them properly, even me or some of most professional artists and most pathetic artists i know or heard of.

Use the normal brush, you can gain more control on what you are trying to create, the armour looks good,looks abit flat though.

Trust me, once i stopped using smudge and burn it was alot easier and what i created didnt look like oil or a big blackish burnt blob.

And to all those or anything that thinks my comments are abit ..harsh or thinking im right, no.. im just saying my opinion and this is how i post i guess... (sometimes...)

 

[gromhellscream666]

ill use the brush to shade now i just use burn tool cause i use to for sig's also so im sorta used to the burn tool.

but ill keep in mind what you said

 

[Kimbo]

Im not saying you have to, but i highly suggest it, if TDR came to post..he'll ..be like.... an art teacher..hes guru..but very very critical on hes posts.

 

[Xarwin]

Wtf? Isn't it harder to not using the burn tool ?
That takes alot more time in my opinion ...

 

[Kimbo]

Control>time

You need to be patient if you want good results(that turn out how u actually want them to turn out), my skins take about 1-3hrs, hell i dont really notice it takes long though..and id rather spend 3 hrs making a skin how i wanted to make it rather than a 10min clump job.

Okay. I guess I learned something new today ^.^ thx for the hints, I guess grom will also appreciate that.

 

[Kimbo]

er.. okay.. i dont think i gave good tips..and.. im not sure if thats sarcasm....but okay...

What about using blur (convolve)? I use it sometimes to blend colors if there are some "toothy" edges.

 

[Kimbo]

i sneak blur and sharpen, but only when direly needed, if i need to blend i just blend the colors with a brush. But dont ask me... im no expert at all..
