Hi, I need help with this character. I was trying to go for a fake Legends of the Cryptids card for my portfolio. Thought it would be fun to do a character that is more rendered and less rough than my usual work.
I think he looks really dumb, and pretty cool at the same time... I do realize he looks like the guy off of Pirates of the Caribbean, but I don't really care. I am not sure if his claw in front of him works, because I just added it in last to try to add some interest near the bottom of the illustration. I also tried to add a sword, but It just wasn't working or I wasn't painting it right.
I think I am liking the colors, light, and the composition is working, I hope.
All feedback is appreciated. I know that it is near a finished stage so I should have asked for a critique earlier probably, but better late than never. Thanks!!
