FINAL SUBMISSION

Well this is it. Finally over. Made some finishing touches here and there. Also see if you can spot Bubbles Favourite toy ‘octi’
This was a blast today and i had tons of fun doing something like this. Hope you all did!

Gah i hate not knowing what the timezone is for this forum! It’s Friday 8th 2am (yes in the morning lol) and if i put that in my post doesn’t show. Had to guesstimate the time to get it on lol

WIP4 (Click to view maximum size!)

Okay here’s my 4th WIP. Made a lot of changes to this one.  Changed the leg armor a bit. Also changed the shoes. Improved sword. Also (most obvious one) i’ve redone the face. Unfortunately i’m struggling on the hands A LOT! just cant seem to get it right.  Next update might involve a more completed character and work on the background (which i didn’t do in this wip) Thanks again for watching!

WIP3

Okay i’ve somewhat got the body complete. I just hate the face so i might do that part all over again. And there are some parts on the lower legs that i’m not happy with so i will be making changes there too. Threw in a quick background and realised how i will have to change the lighting on the armor lol. Would like some critique on this and any improvements i can make. Thanks

WIP  2

Still working on the armor and i’m really struggling with the face. I’ve re-did the eyes and i’ve just realised that the one of the right looks completely wrong, so i would really appreciate some feedback so i can make myself a lot better as an artist. Judging from other peoples entries i got no chance of winning haha but it’s so fun just participating in this!

EDIT: Okay i’ve decided to do a full body pose, relaxed of course. I don’t usually do this so could anyone point out any issues with the anatomy, pose errors that they can find? would be much helpful! thanks guys

EDIT EDIT: Okay from the feedback, i’ve shifted the facial features more slightly to the right. Better?

   im not the best with anatomy, im still learning just as you are but i think the problem with your eye is that its not on an angle her face is at 3/4 view but both eyes are front on.

   ahh yeah i did try that, but it just felt that her eyes looked too far apart. I’ll keep on trying to redo it, thanks for your input =)

   Faces are the one of the hardest things to get right. It took me months before I started getting the hang of it. I recommend to keep practicing the face structure. There are some good books out there, it’s just a matter of finding them. The book I started on was by Jack Hamm “Drawing the Head and Figure” and I also use Chris Hart’s “Drawing Cutting Edge Anatomy” book. Both are very very good books. I would try to find copies of those to use as reference. I still do and will have to for a long time.

   with where you are now if you were to remake her what would change?

   umm probably everything hahah. However for this comp i will be changing the face and also adjusting the armor, will also be working more on the background i guess.

   I know how you feel. I left my piece last night in a bad mood as I could not get the face right and I kept screwing it up no matter what i did! Keep it up you are getting there

Got something constructive to say?
