Nice work so far on the chow!

[Henchman 21]

alllllright, daggers and fellow CA people. I need some help. does this turtle look better with blues in the shadoes and a multicolored facemask? should the shell stay all gold like above or have some blue in it? havin a hard time figuring how i wanna finish this.

[alexson]

I think it looks much better now in the newer version! What was his name? Shellorado? He's awesome. He vs. truckstop who wins`?

[SteFlack]

Hey Dan, he’s looking good so far.
The mask is looking a lot better with the extra colours.
The shadow helps ground him but I would try it a little lighter so it’s not so distracting or maybe work a little more into the ground plain so theres a reason for having a shadow cast.
For the shell I would just work some more colour and texture into it to break up the yellow. Overlay or Multiply layer and a big chalk brush should do it. Also if you’re going to have him lit from the front and the shadow cast towards the viewer the shells needs to be darker.

Hope that helps.

Would be cool to see you and Dave do a collab with these two guys on the next character stream.

[Malakuko]

the second one is much better with multiple colors! awesome character

[AlexTooth]

Shelldorado's looking pretty hot. Nice updates, not so sure about the small blue shapes on the actual shell, maybe lower the opacity on them. And I agree with Ste you could work some more colour around the main shell form to break up the yellow.

[Henchman 21]

well hey. i finished shell as much as i could. i also painted for a nice 18 hours today with no breaks. feelin pretty good. maybe ill learn to do this everyday.

[jeremygordon89]

I'm diggin Shell Dorado!

[Jonas_J]

Nice CHOW keep it up!

[Metal Fingers]

Shelldorado is looking rad man! I still think the cast shadow is at a strange angle for how the light is shining on the turtle hell, minor discrepancies though, keep it up!

[AlexEh]

There is a handful of very handy updates it this very handsome book of yours! Great handiwork! How about you handoff some more!!

[Emil_]

Great entry in chow, love the name and the attention to detail on his shell.

[alexson]

That dude came out great, I voted for it! He looks like he has a compelling back-story with many mysteries.

[Henchman 21]

havent posted in a couple weeks. apologies. ive got lots of stuff to scan and share, and will get around to it. as for now, heres a wip of my neverending story reimagining for cghubs storytellers contest.

[agelaos]

Gosh brah, lookin geeewwd.

[Henchman 21]

put this aside to do some submissions for privateer press. as a result, i wont finish on time. was fun tho!

[jskotte]

Sorry to hear you won't finish the neverending story piece on time, but it looks really great, so I hope you'll get the time to finish it later. Also very nice Chow

[Henchman 21]

some character submissions i did this weekend for privateer press.
wowowowowowowow
then need some work.

[SteFlack]

I love the last one, I hope your planning on colouring them.

[HolyMane]

holy crap you're geting good

the pig guy looks neat

[alexson]

Man oh man.. great stuff. You streaming anything yet?

[Henchman 21]

not streamin yer, but i will if you want me to. I dont have much to teach anyone but we can tell jokes.

heres some wips. more comin.

[danlambert]

Those last few wip's are fucking sweet man, I love the lighting on the first one. It's a shame you didn't get a chance to finish the Neverending Story over, I didn't have time to finish mine either, you should def try to go back and finish it if you can, the composition is pretty interesting. Really nice details in the armor as well, adds a lot of visual interest to the characters.
Quick critique would be that the way you're planting some of your figures feet on the ground plane looks odd, the perfectly side on ones especially.
Keep up the work man,

Peace
Dan

[Metal Fingers]

Really digging that PP stuff man, awesome. this would be a pain in the ass to sculpt as a miniature though Does PP do digital sculpts now like games workshop? Either or, lovely stuff.

[Henchman 21]

whoaoaoaoaoao wip time.

[NickyBeats]

nice updates bro. love all the intricate armor designs.

[Loathsome]

I love that last piece to death! It has a lot of nice tidbits to it.
Just watch it with the hand and the fork. The fork kind of cut into the thumb
