[Elif]

I really love that armored girl piece! Armor design looks great so far, too, just make sure to add a strap to secure the plates on her upper arm (normally there's one attached to the last segment). Keep up the great work! :)

[razvanb08]

Thank you for the tip Elif. I added the straps :).

I really like the balance and sense of movement in the gestures, and that new illustration is coming up nicely, keep it up :D

[Greatdictator]

That last page is REALLY hard to see , might want to lower the brightness on it on your scanner setting...also how big(/what is your scanner)is your scanner so that you can scan in both pages ?

[razvanb08]

Thank you Egbu. Gonna keep pushing the illustration.
@ Greatdictator - My scanner is A4 size and the page I'm drawing on are A3 so I scan the page in 2 pieces.

hmm dude, i think you worked so much on the last illustration ( lady with armor ) that you kinda lost it. Tbh, i don't feel like there is something coming from it. Let's sum up : there is a female warrior sitting on a cutted tree, with some armor on the ground, and nothing exept grass around her. Sorry, but it doesn't make sense to me. Is it at the end of a battle ? or is she escaping the battlefield ? we don't know much what's happening/what happened ! We only see that she's looking sad but we don't know why ! When you do a painting, everything must have a purpose ! Just the way you light your painting can tell so much, you can use sunrise for the beginning of a journey, or the end of a battle for example, etc ! You light seems a direct sunlight, but unfortunately, it doesn't appear like that, in sunlight, contrast is really strong, and you have warm light/cool shadow ! keep strongest contrast for the center of interest ( face, creature, etc ) ! Also, don't try to render everything, it gives a kindof messy look, especially for something like grass, with tons of texture ! most of the texture happen between light and shadow, and it's way more interesting and realist to suggest texture, especially in shadow ! check out great painting and look for that !
