The Critical thread...

Posted my reaction on DA... once I stopped laughing I noticed that both TLC's and Mae-Day's faces appear to be lit from the top left while Bayani's is lit from the right side and the left side of his face and neck are in shadow (his hair appears lit correctly though). There doesn't seem to be enough distance between Mae and Bayani that the same light striking her face wouldn't also be striking the top left side of his. Also he appears to be leaning back so at the very least I would think the left side of his head up by the temple should be lit and there should be more shadows on the right side slanting away and to the right (like under his lip and on his "camera right" shoulder).

Oooh. Good idea. Thanks Assisace. Heya, Wassy, let's give Assisace next week's Division-401 request.

Is it me or does it look like some staged production of Spamalot? (Which would explain some of the lighting..Stage lighting can produce some of the shadows we are seeing there, unless I am really really mistaken..) If it is, an hint of the lighting might not be bad..

If that's the case, why not also have some fake scenery (painted on flats) along with the fake castle?

And didn't Brave Sir Robin have some sort of design on his tabard? I didn't realize that was a tabard at first-it being late at night. At first, I thought it was some bizarre martial art thingy...

Yeah, the usual Bayani designs will be present (on the flag as well), its just easier to do them in PS than by hand. This one is destined for digital coloring anyway, so no sense in wasting time.

I also like this "castle as a model" idea. Makes things easier ^.^

Also, I think a positive way to view this thread would be both providing feedback for artists on their work and becoming more educated and adept at what it mean to offer a useful critique.
I am really liking how this one is shaping up, BW! I don't see anything that needs more work, except for her hands.The pinky on her left hand looks awkward to me. And perhaps when you add more detailing to her right hand, it will look more formed...unless you plan on having the animation of the summoning wrapped around her hand in some way.

Other than that, she is looking great thus far!
