Just a first try on this kind of thing. The photo was not that good anyway. Still I can see there is no contrast and some other stuff is missing too. Anyway, here's my brother.

  1. Looking good dude! I feel you can add more lighter values to pop some of the form out. Im liking the progression dude! I feel proud of ya :D Try capturing some of those hair textures too, I noticed you paint a bit carelessly when painting repetitive things like bushes and chain mail. Perhaps try a different technique to tackle these. Thats when experience comes in handy... having tried and tested methods of painting different materials you will get a feel for what technique you can use to accomplish different textures.

  2. Thanks Ben! You don't imagine (well, maybe you do) how hard is to find someone enthusiastic about trying to accomplish something for yourself, and the comments you leave here really help me keep the mood up. It's been a great help really.
    Yep, I fing really boring to do stuff like that. I think I'll start to look into brushes techniques and tutorials as soon as I can.
    Thanks agains man.

  3. I sorta know what you mean dude. Thats why things like the Chiustream is good to remind myself to be motivated! Its always good to find ppl who are also super enthusiastic to draw with. So you should put work on conceptart.org too. Like I told you before, I befriended other artists there because we were all enthusiastic and hard working and updated everyday for that time. I didnt care what level they were at that point, I saw they had motivation and hard work that I know will take them forward. So join up dude :D Cause ppl there can help give u a kick up the ass lol!

  4. Yes I'm going to join conceptart.org one of these weeks. Exactly because of what you're saying. I do need those kind of kicks up my ass :D It's not that I need people to tell me 'keep going, it's very nice' etc. But there's positive vibes and negative vibes, and it really affects what I'm doing if people with whom I interact just give me negative vibes. I'm being more careful about those 'vibes' nowadays. Manowar helps loads :D:D:D BLOW YOUR SPEAKERS!! :D:D:D
