Hey, i just finished reading the Divine Comedy by Dante. Anyway, i'm planning to pixel all the mythological creatures/people that are in the story. Starting with Chiron, the centaur that shoots arrows at people trying to escape from the river of lava. C+C greatly apreciated Most Recent:      |

I love mythology, and that is a great idea Quake, I saw this over at
Pixelation!
My only comment I can think of would be reguarding his skin. The base
colour is great, the tone is excellent.. but the lighlight confuses me!
The reason for that is, seeing as the texture skin is made of is rather
bumpy, it's the kind of thing that diffuses light. Have I lost you yet?
Put simply, your highlight gives me the impression that he is almost
sweating. I would probably suggest emit the highlight altogether,
but that would remove some depth, maybe try and tone it down a bit.

Haha, mythology is great. Somewhat of a big project for me to do, there's literally 100's of characters mentioned. Yeah, i'll try and change that. Think i might try to just down the lightness of the highlights. Though, i'll experiment. Thanks for commenting :) |

I've always like the Minotaur and Medusa hahah!
The skin colours are way better now! The lower half of the arm needs a
little reworking too, the shape seems wrong to my eye. Good luck!

Ok, bit of a change. Redrew shoulders, and that general area. Just added quick blocks of colours. Also redrew legs, which is better? I'd say the ones that are on the same ground level, but say if you agree/disagree.   :) |
