CGAN Nov 2017 - Victorian Heroes - WIPs

I love the cast shadow of the hand.
People (and when I say "people" I probably just mean "me") always forget to put them in when a subject casts a shadow on itself and when someone does remember and does it right then it makes such a difference to the picture.
Well done. :applaud:

I did have a quick test at rescaling/transforming earlier on my tablet and I think I can fix the necessary things. The legs looked better too when I nudged them to the right.
I'm always reluctant to test them out in ArtRage because all transforms end up blurring the details. ArtRage does not like pixel edges at all, does it?
But I shall do it properly tomorrow.

Yep, still looking good, Charlotte. Can't see any problems with that.
Unlike mine...



As well as softening the shading on the face (I think I'm happy now with the likeness) I also did a bit of rescaling. The head may still be a bit large but I'm sure it'll get to the right size eventually. And I hadn't noticed that shoulder problem before. As well as being too big they were also mismatched at different levels! So I've done my best to correct that too and I also had a play with the ellipse guide stencil to get the smooth curves of the wheels but I may still fiddle that perspective a little more.



The next problem though is the hands, I can't put them off any longer. No doubt this will be the point where all progress will grind to a stop.

Looking good, everyone!

Charlotte: Coming along nicely, love the character design!

Valence: Great job capturing the likeness, although I agree with the feedback that the head is too big at the moment, giving a caricature-esque look.

OK I worked on the image some more, added a tree in the environment which I think adds to the composition. I'm calling it finished for now!

Yes, it's a really hard habit to get out of. Even though I know I'm doing it I just can't stop myself.

I like all the additions to your pic, especially the way you've repeated the colour of that butterfly in the glowing lights. Looks good.

Yes, when I said "last" day I meant the "previous" day.
I'm still not close to finishing those chair wheels and hands, so I thought I'd make the decision to go with that first one rather than trying to rush and mess up the second.
