CGMythology's Sketchbook

darktiste:  Yeah the armor was a bit early so I didn't push contrast that much, I tend to do that as I paint along.  Thanks for the paintover as well, very useful;  I reworked the armor heavily, hopefully it looks more natural now!

JosephCow:  I'm not sure to be honest, just whatever is more natural looking I suppose.  Great point regarding the sharp highlights, will continue to incorporate that feedback as it's not quite there yet.  Great reference as well, very useful for the values in particular!

I refined the image as a whole and spent some time working on the armor, tried to make it more natural looking and brighter, which helps I think.  It's come quite a long way and I'm fairly happy with it.  I'll continue to revise it and hopefully the armor looks even more natural by the next update.  Here is the current progress:




Any feedback is welcome and encouraged as always :)
