It has been far too long and too much has passed since I last worked on a fully rendered character. In fact, it has been too long, enough for me to not remember how far high my bar was set, frankly i don't know if i met her, fell short or established a new high.
For a various number of reasons, most of them personal, I had a blast working on him.
He is a character from Hubris: Epilogue, and there is a lot planned for him
I will write it down once I get some true rest and be capable of explaining myself better.
Cheers
comments and crits always welcome
for those of you who insist on ranting on anatomy, i wont even bother with a comment, and just say that in order to destroy one must first create. I learned myself quite a bit of both anatomy and proportions, i have my fair share of nude drawings as well as portrait, and there is a time, much like Hyung Tae Kim (may not be the case) where you just don't care anymore. You know where things are supposed to be, the way you make them look is entirely up to you.
So yes, the head his small, and his body huge, the shoulders are too far apart and the legs are too long... should i go on?
lol, his hair is just puffed up there, and it looks kinda classy to me. like Elvis's hair. I think he looks great. this was a self portrait you say? I like how you depicted yourself. Its inspiring actually. I want to go make one of myself to know, haha!
and boy does he look fine
his cane is also the baddest cane I have ever seen
you complement him you complement me, it's a self portrait character I decided to incorporate into Hubris: Epilogue
if i may ask, why does his hair mke you smile? xD
this was a self portrait you say? I like how you depicted yourself. Its inspiring actually. I want to go make one of myself to know, haha!
it was a confidence boost, i had gone through a horrble stage in my life, and then i took this self portrait idea and made a character out of him
and now im happy as one can be x)
and thanks once more
and your welcome
