iys - Looking really good so far!

Carravagio - I agree with Liffey, I think his shoulder plates might be a bit too big atm. Nice lighting though.

Hello everyone : )
nylelev Thank you!
I'll probably will not have the time to finish it...
anyway.. here's the head

[Phantom-Seraph]

This is what I have so far. This is the first completely digital picture I've done from scratch so it's taking a lot longer than expected. Here's hoping I still have time.

lys-itd be really dang cool to see that one done, its turning out great! Here's another small update, made some minor fixes, but i cant think of anything else to smash in there...

[Flowers10]

I think i might need to practice my metals more.

[nylelevi]

PTimm - I really like the way you've done his armour! I think you should add a few more strands of hair to those 3 thick ends that are blowing in the wind to make it look more natural

Seeing as the CharacterFORGE2D Challenges usually have a 2 week deadline I'd say it's actually for the 21st-ish or sometime around so hopefully everyone will have enough time to finish.
Awesome updates by the way, and a great and funny challenge also, I'm loving how everyone's approach is so unique, everyone's entries are awesome! Keep up the great work, guys!

Ah, that would be great, I'll have time to do an entry.

Hello everyone!
PTimm thank you, I'm very happy like it : )
Here's a tiny update

[choo]

Foolery is afoot!

It seems the deadline was inadvertently removed from my original post. The due date for this is the 21st. I apologize for not having noticed sooner.

I am soooo late for this, but I tried a new style

[Amaakir]

Hey guys, awesome works so far, here's a little feedback from me, I hope you guys find it useful:

@PTimm: I think you could be a little more bold with your light overall, I did a quick Paint Over (I hope you dont mind!):


I used the Dodge tool on your image to increase the strenght on the background, right on the spot near the knight's face to bring a lot more attention around that area.
Also, the background on the lower left felt a bit gray, so I added an overlay at 30% with a warm color gradient up to the knee to give it some more color and blend it to the background.
I also used a soft light at 20% at various places with a light purple gradient to bring up some more colors.
Did a second overlay with a warm light color (Kinda cream yellow) gradient on the top right corner to bring some more brightness to the image.
Topped it all with a levels layer to adjust the values to my liking. Just some suggestions, your entry is very epic as it is

@lys: I love the expression on your character, it's very fitting to the character description Choo gave us I think some more contrast could be used, however, if you place a color layer on top, and fill it with white, you'll notice how the values kinda mesh together around the face. Maybe adding some more lights into your character's face might help a bit Overall, I'm loving your entry! Keep it up!

@Lowestofthekeys: Still some time left! You can make it! Great style and kudos to you for trying a new style!


I think I might be able to squeeze my soul a bit more this week just in time to make a final entry on the challenge, it's been a while since I participated in one and this one's very funny, keep up the great work, guys!
