Pixel Joint Forum: Angry Gambler

Message

   Hi all

I decided to visit WIP section 'cause I've got new problem with my image. It's all about I don't know what I should add to this piece and how can I improve. It's  quite hard WIP version now, so I would need some advice from you, to shading especially. My problem is also in the jacket, still cannot solve this problem...could someone give me an example of making textiles /like jacket/ and so on?

Here's the piece

Thanks :)

	I'm afraid I don't quite get the title, what is the gambler angry about? First I thought he was losing, but then the hand (coming from the machine?) handing him cash(?) threw me off. As for shading, it would be easier to give suggestions if you had a reference and a link to said reference so we know what your goal is. And I guess you could add a casino background or something like that which fits the theme

	I believe the hand is just an image on the side of the machine, and not meant to represent how well the gambler is doing. But it does send the opposite message, which may perhaps be intentional, and lead to a bit of humorous irony. The biggest problem I see is the definition of forms, or lack thereof. I would define the major areas using a basic highlight, midtone, and shadow color for each area, then worry about texture.l Right now the shading is a bit messy and sporadic.
