Fixed this up a bit.
Overall really happy with the improvements (though ofc it's still far from perfect). Will update description tomorrow w/ some details about the drawing, but right now I'm too tired.
edit: Right so. First of all, I mostly used this piece for reference, which I forgot to mention last time. What I changed:
-Decreased the size of the center mechanical piece because I accidentally made it an odd diameter which really fucked things up but by the time I realized it before, I was too lazy to fix it.
-Changed the colors and details of the background, and the highlights on the fog from the eyes. Still not great, but it's passable.
-Changed the details on the helm and the playing card iconography, integrating the emblam on the helm into a light and the rank/suit markings into the smoke.
Still not perfect but I'm going to give it a rest now. Thanks for looking. |
It's a Jack of Spades playing card, based off of Shimmering-Sword's Rangers universe, esp. this piece. Royal playing cards are supposed to have rotational symmetry, traditionally speaking. I wanted to have more of the body but there wasn't room. Thanks for faving.
I agree that the background smoke is much lower than quality, but I was pretty tired of it at that point. I would have left the colors flat, but it made the J♠ stand out too much, since it was lighter. I kind of love outlining things in solid colors tho lol so I'm gonna keep that. Plus, since the colors are so similar, imo it's kind of needed to separate the jack and the background.
