Elderscrollers Sketchy Stuff

@pnate: The characters are client work, yes. They are for an indie social media game and are serving as kind of advisors and questgivers (think of the civilization games...)

@Craig Paton: Regarding scans, I actually don´t do much. I have a really old scanner, scan at 300dpi with an unsharpen filter active in the scansoftware and if need be, I adjust the contrast in PS a little with curves or levels

@ both of you: I actually also start to like the 12th doctor more and more (although he can be a little too patronizing), but you are right, pnate, David Tennant is by far the best doctor of all!


I´m sure most of you know William Adolphe Bouguereau. For those who don´t: this guy is the godfather of skintones, the skinmaster, the ultimate skininator... seriously, try to study his work, it´s worth it. He has so many subtleties and color variations going on and as I did a study, to my surprise he doesn´t change hues a lot! In the original from the study below, I first thought, wow, so many greens and blues and purples....no! he used mostly reds, oranges and yellows. The cooler colors all come from desaturated versions of these hues in combination with putting the warmer hues beside them.
