Hi there,

In my last comment I told you that I am on the verge of doing my master of aplied sience and looking forward to get a job as an conceptual artist.

Now the time is near that I am  allowed to start with my Masters Thesis. Of course, this is just one piece of a character design from a fictitious PC Game and even not the final but i am about to arrange my ideas.

Hope you like it and you excuse that i am not permitted to tell you something about the storry. :(

Anyway,

Maybe you understand the titel ? ;)

Regards William

Good Luck on doing your masters

I like the colors you used-really nice....I just have a few suggestions:

This character's head appears too big comparing to the rest of this body

His elbows are too high, they should be able to touch his waistline

His hands are too small 

I would also define his 6 pack more, so that he looks more powerful

The blades on his back should be more reflective, as metal is so very shiny, you look like you made duplicates of the same blade all over, which subtracts from making it more interesting.

I really think your shadows on his body are quite good, liking your work!

Hope this small crit helps 

I have to say I agree with emilia on the anatomy. If I were you I'd take a look at some anatomy books, there are some really good ones out there (I can reccomend Sarah Simblet's "Anatomy for the artist").

Then I have to say the same as I allways do: It looks as if you've been in a hurry and skiped the finishing touches. I took the liberty of doing a quick paintover to show you what I mean.

I haven't made a lot of changes, but I've sharpened some lines, toned down the whiteness of the light on the character (the less pure white you use, the more effectful the white you do use will be) and added some light and shade in some places. I allso removed the glow from his clothing to bring out the glowieness of his sword and I added some dot's of pure white to the belt (assuming it's supposed to be gold).

I hope this is helpful.

 
Other than that I think you have a lot of potential so keep it up, and good luck with your masters :)

 

looking good but one thing I see is that the one hand holding the staff of energy actually doesn't look like it's holding it. the way the hand is, the staff would no doubt slip out. you need to close the hand just a little bit so the staff stays in there.

good luck on the thesis as well!
