Emooi: awesome progress, a few technical issues that stick out though. I made a few changes to show you what I mean since it seemed easier than explaining it. The main thing is just to remember to not mix black and dark grey in to get darker colors. It will kill the liveliness of your painting immediately. I know you wanted the skin to feel red but you also have to balance that with believably. Also keep light source in mind, in the original the metal was suggesting that there were to very hard light sources when the rest of the painting suggested there was only one light source. There are some other things that could be changed but those thing will come with time and study. Anyways I'm not very good but i hope that helped a little.

Hey guys, Been pretty busy with life and environment design so i haven't had had much time to work on Merlin but here's where i am with it. I still need to add cast shadows, more clothing/ornaments, and finish up the mask. I'm sure its lacking so any advice would be appreciated!
