Work in progress

[IrBat]

The armor/cape is 100% freehand (except chainmail). On the Armor/Cape, there are no filters.

This isnt completed, I only want you guys to critque the armor, and give me an idea of how you think the progress is going. I know Jaina is skinned alot, whatever, im starting off easy, becasue this is my first time ever picking up a brush in photoshop...


TEMPORARY PARTS:
I dont like the cape, I just drew it out real quick to give a more complete look to the character, because thats gonna be the color scheme for it.

The chainmail was done with a simple trick using the staind glass filter. I might keep it, I might try some other shit out, be it freehand or not, who knows.


FLAWED AREA's:
The design on the boot is a bit crooked, i know. Its becasue I was trying to get it to wrap correctly, and to some degree I have, though the model surface of the boot is a bit wierd for a plate mail boot.

Also, the 2 gems arent matching in thier edges, that will be fixed.


Im still thinking of an idea for the skin/hair/staff.
I will be completely redoing the face.

very promising. I like it so far. Try increasing the contrast (ctrl + m and play with the curves, then do some manual adjust afterwards)

YEah, he bracers/arm/thigh could use better lighting.

What do you think I should do with the chainmail?
Make it smaller, try for a different pattern?
I'm mainly concerned about the wrap, and making it look good ingame.
