CGMythology's Sketchbook (nudity)

Valence:  Glad to hear it!  I might have overdone it with the yellowish tone for the final, hopefully it's not too big of a deal!

................

Time for a new illustration!  Want to experiment with a sci-fi theme again so I chose to depict a cyborg.  I was inspired by this reference photo here which had very dynamic lightning.  I didn't want to be a slave to it so I came up with my own figure as well as theme.  Below is the sketch, any input before I begin the painting process would be appreciated!

 

Charlotte:  Indeed!  Hopefully the cigarette looks more natural now that's it's painted, please let me know!

..................

Finished the painting process for the cyborg.  Tried to play up the details with this one and am fairly satisfied with how it turned out.  Below is the image followed by the steps if you're interested.  Of course there's still time to apply feedback if necessary, so any input is welcome!

 

 





 

Charlotte:  Interesting!  I see your point, might revise the image in the future if I revisit it.  Coincidentally I just sketched out another figure with a cigar, so I took your critique and applied it to that image (will publish it at a later point!).  Thanks for taking the time to illustrate your input as well, very much appreciate it!

I began work on another personal piece, an illustration of Baby Yoda.  Want to do something a bit simpler this time in terms of composition, so I didn't opt for a detailed setting.  Below is the sketch, any feedback before I begin the painting process would be most appreciated!

 
 

I'm never good at judging things from the linework but the chin doesn't look quite right to me. It currently makes him look a bit older and more chubby that I imagine/remember him to look. Maybe lifting it a little and making it a bit more rounded would help.

Charlotte:  Great feedback, thank you!  I made the correction before I began the painting process, hopefully it's OK now!

Valence: You're right, made the change you suggested and it works much better now, thank you for that!

And the image is finished!  Had a blast with this from start to finish, although the colors weren't quite working during the later stages.  I actually limited the color palette towards the end for better harmony as the grass color was too distracting.  Below is the final image followed by the steps for those interested.

 

 




 

Charlotte:  Thank you, glad you like that effect!

..............

Did some final tweaks to Baby Yoda, hopefully the image works a bit better now!
 

Next up I began working on a new image depicting a female orc.  Pretty happy with how the sketch turned out!  I had a reference for the general pose which can be viewed here , did my best to recreate the general gesture and pose and I think I was fairly successful in that regard.  I'm about ready to begin painting but feedback would be most welcome before I do so!  Here is the sketch:
