Your coloring and anatomy is so cool. Whatever you're doing, you need to keep on doing it.

[NickyBeats]

nice! sopranos? and 6:10 to yuma? nice studies man!

[S Ciaffaglione]

Thanks Nick =)

Those sketches were from the Sopranos and the Proposition.

[S Ciaffaglione]

and some more work on the Hellboy, I should be able to finish it up tomorrow. I'd love to hear your comments.

[NickyBeats]

yea man! hellboy is looking great!i think the rim lighting could be toned back a bit, and maybe some of that yellow light should also be reflected in the god in the bg, but other than that hes looking bad ass!

[S Ciaffaglione]

Thanks for the feedback Nick. I've gotten a lot of people wanting the rim lighting toned down, i'll have to do something about that on my next pass =)

[S Ciaffaglione]

Just a quickie for this morning.

[S Ciaffaglione]

And the finished Hellboy =)

[S Ciaffaglione]

And Supes finished up!

[NickyBeats]

nice! the last two came out great! yea, i think the toned back rim lighting is working alot better now. helps to push the forms some more. also, love the finished energy supe! came out nice!

[S Ciaffaglione]

Bizarro! to go along with Supes. Its another WIP

[S Ciaffaglione]

more on Bizzaro. Currently its being worked on the the WIP section, what do you think?

[_Quasar_]

Badass!
Did you have any references for bizarro?

[S Ciaffaglione]

Thanks Quasar. When i started the sketch i didnt use any refs, but now that i am rendering it up I have a few pics of Gary Busey up on the screen to help with the crazyness haha. I'm thinking of shooting a quick ref of myself for lighting also to help out.

and here is a bit more on Bizarro. I think its going well but i'm a bit unsure about the colours...

[n1frit]

Im your fan too!)) Great character and render technic!!! Post more works, I will keep eye on!

[Valdimagno]

I love the quick sketches, and how they have some much storytelling and expression

[S Ciaffaglione]

I decided to scrap the Bizarro and start again, he was just coming off too much like Freddy Krueger. I like the new one a lot more.

[rem92]

This is the shit! haha amazing stuff man, love it.
