Hello Locust, Welcome to PJ. You probably know that the background needs work. Several planes of trees/rocks and stuff would be nice. The physics of shooting is that there is an even amount of backforce as there is on the force going forward. The guns would probably rip his head off :) Suggestion would be to at least straighten the hands so that there is more strength behind the shot. The picture looks a bit hard to read. When zoomed in I discovered he had some LARGE boots on. But in normal view they are not visible. Make the upper arm thicker than the lower arm. That would be it for now .. Looking forward to the updates! Best regards from M.E. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |

semi finished AAing on the foreground tried a bit more pre historic style on the gun...thinking about tracker style clothing...or sub machineguns i really suck at backgrounds and i dont really know what to make of his other arm, mabey making him hold thegun with 2 hands...  i think it looks kooler with the fatter gun? |

Yeah, the recoil from the shotgun would swing it up (in my vast [sarc] knowledge of gunz) therefore it kinda looks odd. Phat gun looks hot. They're both really nice though. Just thought i'd come and say that and that i really like this. Design, concept, pixelz. All good. Keep it up. Ooooh and with his other arm, you could just have it hanging down behind him, all "i'm too coo' fo' skl" styli. That's how i'd imagine it anyway. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

Hi Locust, Ah .. much better!! The fat gun works for me as well. I would give the boots a little bit more light if it is possible with your color-set. The arm suggestion from Larwick is very good, but I did like the two-gun effect you had before as well. Maybe try to enlarge his upperarm by giving him more muscles there?!? I really like the color-change of the background. The troll really comes to live on it! Looking forward to updates!!!

Hello Locust, Personally I liked the tree background better. This background adds a bit of noise to the scene. In case you want to work on the mountains a bit I would suggest to add another dark to the structure. As for the general form it actually looks like a pile of rocks instead of one large rock. But maybe you are after that effect  Are you making mockups with different backgrounds and guns? Because that sounds really great! Maybe you can make the blast a little more dynamic and interesting?

Hi Locust, MUCH better background! The blast can maybe done with a little AA to avoid such a hard line. Is there a touch of Red in the pallete? Else you might use the redish from the belt to give the blast more blast ?!? Great Job! Best regards from M.E. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |

Maybe add some light from the blast to the boots? It'll make them look shiny  ------------- My gallery lives here: http://www.pixeljoint.com/p/8355.htm?pg=1&sec=icons |

loving it all, just play around with the blast, look at pics in google etc for different kinds of blasts. imo you should also give him some clothing, lol. ------------- I'm running in the desert, running in to the sun, running out of blood and I'm going numb. |

Hello Locust, WOW, that is a nice blast! I dig the lightsource adjustments! Cool. The only thing I would do is a itsy bitsy light in the background. Dark is OK, but I think it is a bit too dark. (Could be just my monitor settings, so wait what others think!) Great progress you have shown! Impressive! Best regards from M.E. ------------- http://www.kunststukken.nl - KunstStukken.nl M.E. Art |
