The Eldritch

[Denu]

A WIP I am doing in pencil. I could use some pointers on the cloak. Cloth has always pissed me off and have always had trouble with it. I might change the human skull to an animal one. But then again I might not so as not to make it all smudgy.

Now that is a lovely staart, i suggest you plan it all out with a background thought, it might give the creature a more living feeling and take away the him floating in a void thing, and as for the cloth..im not good with them either, just make sure you focus on a certain light direction and study and observe some clothes and the lights and the folds at home or some other place

I decided to screw the rest of the pencilwork and just go straight to the coloring. I need some help on the moon. The colors for it are tricky. I want it to pop out and glow but still have a fair amount of detail. Currently all the colors I have used for it either contrast too much or too little. I want the details to be clearly defined but maintain a fairly constant color. Should I have some of it orange, or green, or mostly yellow, or what?

Looks really nice, but the branches at the top just cut off, or are you not finished painting those?
The branches forming hands is a very nice idea, can't wait to see it finished
BTW, what medium are you using?

I need to finnish the moon before I can work on those branches. It would be difficult painting around them. And I am using Paintshop.

Paintshop looks pretty... painty (corny, but true)

I figured out how to do the moon on my own. I need to smooth it out more though. Critique on it would still be helpful. I accidentally messed up his face a bit but I am fixing it.

Edit: I hurriedly colored the rest of it. I will probably work on that one but I am keeping the other as a reference for the branches.
