washka, Thank you!!

Finally finished this card within 1 day @_@ , I got a horrible flu and lots of fever while painting it... there's a lot of stuff i wanted to re-touch but well, my health didn't let me



Check out the High rez here

[washka]

Seems the flu (bug)ged your "code".

Some more lighter blue(or green) onto pecto/torso could have add to the volume. (lighting rebound from screen) A touch.
Or you know, same kind of reflexion he's got on its glasses, and a bit onto his front. Except if the glasses are the screen? Or no screen, just tubes?
I'm a bit lost with coherence there.

But still, it's some great piece, athmos and action are there, expression is ok, like the detailing on the face and the hair style, seems you had some fun doing the effects onto the codes parts and with the greeny glowy smoky colors.
I think that even with your flu the painting works, don't forget card's size.

washka, yeah there's a tone i could've done better, thanks alot for your tips!

Sorry for disapearing, got alot of work for ffg + hollidays but i'm back on track!

Crimson Daggers Gauntlet challenge studies:

[washka]

This crimson daguer stuff, I've seen the stream: It's good for learning?
I hate studies but that's how you get better (I think).

Like the shading/tone mask, crocodile/alligator is sweet.

[JohnSilva]

Washka, Thanks man, yea crimson daggers are mostly to help you with whatever problem you got and make you stay inspired to do studies and do your own work, you should check it out!

More studies!

You've got the directional color syndrom, care with yourself.
He's into water?
Problems with anatomy and head volumes but it doesn't really matter there, I really like the colors work, it's awesomez (palette/tones).
You could add a front/back Orange/Green balance into da black.
