I'm going after the Jude Law prompt. Really love the idea of repoing that great name! I'm going for a vigilante attorney type woman. Let me know what yall think! New here so any feedback is appreciated!
Well trying some other contests now too but I wanted to work on this one I like the ideas and always think competition makes me work harder.
Taking Jude Law as a traveling judge circa 1500 Germany. Did some research looking at Albrecht Durer paintings for clothing etc and also looking up everything from buildings to wheelock pistols.
Painting now on paper changed things a touch tighter in on the character and of course colors now.
Did some studies for Tex Mechs, first time i do this stuff and actually I've found that I have LOTS of fun. Surely I'll continue sketching robots after the piece is done.
Working on Tallahassee, something old and pulpy for my comp, there's gonna be some tentacle chicks in the background with some kind of idol, this is really early.

My observations:
1. His left arm is way too stiff an high His elbow should be lowered and arm should point toward the action of the scene.
2. His right arm is too stiff and straight which leads the viewer away from your scene, not into it
3. Your black and white was pretty good, but when you added the color, you put the beings lighter than whatever is behind them. They should be slightly darker than whatever is behind them.
4. The black and white values were good, but then when you colored it in, the values changed. Keep the black and white, add a new 'color' layer and apply the colors to see if they work better for you.
It's almost done. I need to finish his arm, hat and do the background. I should adjust the composition a little too, since the colt is hugging the edge now and it doesn't look good.
