[IgorIv]

Rovanna: Thank you! Yea you are right about the Mayan Deity... I did those things to make the character the focal point, but yea I should have brought them more together... In the new one I am really focusing on those things so THX!

[Candra H]

Nice sketchbook. You're off to a solid start. Just keep practising and you'll get better and better.

Good stuff and good luck!

[IgorIv]

Candra H: Thank you very much!!!

Here is the WIP update for today...

[IgorIv]

Added the armor... Now the feathers, vines, staff and environment... I think the Environment will dictate the success of the Image...

[IgorIv]

WIP for today...

[IgorIv]

It's Done! )

[IgorIv]

Here is a new illustration I am working on.... This time I took a different workflow... I painted the whole scene first and then I will render the details when people crit and when I fix everything... so please crit asap... plz!

[Colour Coded]

Nice work in here Igor! While i love the picture of the mage check i feel like something is off with the lighting or colors. You have a good understanding of bounce light, as seen from the light given off from her staff. But something is off...the colors are a little too flat.

[IgorIv]

Here is a fix of the anatomy and a change of composition... There is still much to bee added in the background, and the gun...

[IgorIv]

Still no gun...

[IgorIv]

This is it for today... been drawing 16 hours straight... Can't go on anymore... If you guys like it tomorrow i will render the crap out of it...

[IgorIv]

Here is the progress of the rendering I have been doing the last couple of days...

[IgorIv]

Its done!

[MadGrav]

Nice work you did on that piece during those few days. I like the setting and lightning. Not sure how that guy became dragon hunter though. It feels like he is gonna die in 10s.

[M.Calza]

Really cool stuff, you're improving fast, if you don't mind, where you from?

[IgorIv]

MadGrav: Thx man... Yea, he is like: "Yep, I am gonna kill me some dragons... Nothing I haven done already... lol..."

M.Calza: Thx! I am from Korea! Nope, just kidding... I'm from Serbia....

[IgorIv]

Here is a new one... this time I did the full image from start... Not like the last couple of times, partially, adding part by part... I might change or add some stuff later but that will be just details and small things... did some planing, some tubnails, some proportion studies and here is what I came up with...

[MadGrav]

You did that last one fast. Although i think it could use that work on those details like flasks, also his pose is a bit stiff.

[IgorIv]

MadGraw: Ou sure... this is just a sketch... and the pose... I dont know... I kinda want it to be like he is careful but crazy... I even made a 3d model to get the pose right... I dont how could I fix it...

Also I noticed that the table is not in the same perspective as the rest... so I will have to change that...

[IgorIv]

Sorry guys for not posting the last couple of days... I have been working on an environment for the gnomon contest.... I am also tweaking my alchemist to get it perfect before I start rendering... and I didn't see the point of posting every little step... I wanted to let it sit for a couple of days while I was doing the environment so I can come back fresh and see the mistakes... so now I will be doing the alchemist... Anyway, here is the environment....

[Leoz]

[Chips]

Rapid improvement! Keep it up.

[IgorIv]

THX Chips!!!

[IgorIv]

Just a sketch of a Egyptian demon....

[IgorIv]

I finished this one...

[IgorIv]

Some tubnails for a new illustration... plz tell me witch ones you like and what can I do to make them better...

[IgorIv]

I got no replies :/ so I taught I'd post more thumbnails... plz I really need some feedback at least write two numbers that doesn't take that long...

[IgorIv]

Based on crits from other sites I made 2 b/w ruffs... I tried to use all the feedback and compile 2 images so I can now pick one witch I will take to a final render...

The wolf and character designs are not shown here. I will be working on them while I wait for feedback... I will make them have matching colors, armor, glowing tattoos etc... It will be obvious that they are a team...

So plz crit these 2 ruffs and tell me witch one to pick for my final illustration... THX!

[IgorIv]

Im doing the crimson daggers bloodsports 13 so these are the studies and thumbnails for it and then later I will continue with the Kinship card...
