I made these two characters to practice working on a small scale. I think they turned out decently for the time I spent on them.


A chef (if you can't tell I'm doing something seriously wrong)


Some kind of soldier/guard

How can I improve them?

I added some better shading to the soldier. The shading I used originally was too subtle.

So basically my problem is the shading doesn't suggest the shape of the helmet well enough?

Nope, the dithering is the problem..

Dithering, creates a look that suggests something is bumpy, and although sometimes that's good with Metal, Dithering is bad..

Just use cell-shading (don't know what else to call it)..

Look at Souly, he has shown you what i meant.

I didn't dither at any point. That was hsn's edit. But I took note of the changes Souly made and this is what I did.

Not at all, I'm just saying I don't want him to think I did something I didn't do if it takes away from his liking of my piece.
