Seriously, the co...God damn... how do you <i>do</i> that?<br /><br />Seriously, the color scheme is striking, the hair is gorgeous, you've even got some great freehand on those pads, there's a tiny bit of OSL from the mechanikal bits, and everything is clear and clean. <br /><br />I can't tell from the lighting, but it looks like you're using Real Metal Metalics for the blade and metal bits, but if not, you've got such a beautiful shading method that it doesn't matter. <br /><br />And the eyes immediately evoke a professional soldier's work face; not so much 'come get some' as watching and waiting for the moment to attack.<br /><br />If you're looking for suggestions, maybe consider some glazes for the sharper divides in shading; the hair is the only bit that really stands out, but you could do a soft one on the right shoulder to smooth out the layers. I still feel like a 101 art class student making suggestions to Michelangelo saying that, though.Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17233051908557311807noreply@blogger.com
