This is a little side project I've been working on the past couple weeks. Just practicing rendering different materials using the default round brush in Photoshop.

That looks great. I don't know about his arms though, they look a little short. But then again, I'm tired and I don't see properly when I'm tired. I'll look again in the morning

Yeah it's strange, they do seem a bit short. But when I act out this pose in the mirror that is where my hands sit.

The blade length is a little funky
Is it a knife or a sword?

a subway sandwich cutter

Daggers are the same length as knives, and traditionally are double edged

garygill · March 14, 2008, 05:15:42 AM

It's about the same length as a gladius.

Absolutely positively love the hair lighting and texture!
That's just super awesome!

And the whole picture itself, is just 10/10.

The tiny, intracate details that you put on the handle of the weapon are incredible.
Once again, you've proven that you are a master artist.

garygill · March 14, 2008, 12:58:03 PM

Sweet! Glad you guys like it!

Arwym · March 14, 2008, 02:43:42 PM

The proportions are right. There is something called foreshortening (I think that is the word), guys. Also, he has so much hair that it makes his head look bigger than what it really is. But when you look closely, the proportions are right.

Wonderful job. Especially with the hair and the blade's handle.

And the coloring. Because I can't color to save my life.

You are so worthy of admiration.

Thanks for making me feel better about myself. Had a horrible day today. =(

Sort of but not really, haha. The person is loosely based on me. Also, in real life my hair is much longer.

Seriously thanks for the support guys. I'm just glad yesterday is over.

@Levent - Thanks for the offer but I would rather just forget about it.

Esmeralda · March 15, 2008, 05:36:58 PM

What Arwym said about that hair is true. It makes the head look a bit bigger.

There's nothing else that's "bad" to say about this ;( awesome work once again :O
