    Terminator Chaplain

    Now, I don't come on this site anywhere as near as often as I should, but recently I've stepped up my digital art and tried to push it to the next level. consequently, regular visits to this site are in order! This piece below is probably the first finished in a while. and after reading the new rules for this section of the site I hope it's good enough to be considered an intermediate or professional level piece.

    Find Me A Purpose.

    I'd suggest you move this to the C&C section, you can push this piece further.

    It's good to challenge yourself, but there are too many basic compositional elements that clash with each other and detract from this being a finished piece.

    First is the rain, whilst atmospheric, the heavy lines falling in front of the subject are very distracting.

    Second is the lighting. If it's raining that hard it's way too bright. That back light overpowers the blue glow from his crozius, and the lambent light cast from the top-right. As a result, your shading is all over the place, and parts of his armor appear flat (bottom of the closest shoulder pad).

    Third is anatomy. I know space marines have exaggerated proportions and terminator armor pads are bulky, but his shoulders are currently higher than where his neck would be. Both arms are at rest yet his elbow positions don't line up, and the storm bolter hand is turned out at and uncomfortable angle; either that hand would be more at rest like the crozius arm, or his elbow needs to be turned out more.

    And constructive comments like this are the reason I should come here more often

    Many thanks InfernoKing, I'll get this onto the C&C section and revamp the image with your suggestions and any others people feel inclined to give.
    how do I move this to a different thread? or is it a case of just creating a new one in the C&C section and letting the moderators delete this one?
