Hey Pascal, welcome! first off you certainly have some skills. Some of the photorealistic stuff in your folio is pretty indistinguishable from a photograph, especially those history characters. I almost feel you need someone with more experience than myself to crit you, but I did notice a few things. First a question, with this piece and the other more photoreal stuff you did, how much do you use actual photographs and integrate them then paintover and how much is just referenced from photos? It may explain a few things I noticed but I'd like to know before critting anything. Thanks
Hi Monkeybread,
That helps a lot and thanks for having a go at it:). The paintover is very helpfull because you did it a little too obvious. I do put a lot of attention on the details, it is almost meditation. The result is that I loose the focus on the all over image. It is very usefull to have somebody tell me that and I think think this post will bring my work a step forward. I will play around with it and apply your advice and post it back here.
Cheers:D

Nice dude! So much better. :) The only tiny minor thing I see is the shoulder spikes and the zombie face are kinda working like a tangent in a way though. I know it isn't per se but for some reason it draws a tiny bit more focus than I think it should. Maybe shortening the spikes a bit or something? Really really small issue. Great stuff man.
