What is this wizardry? Omg man, just....woah. Strong in everything?? Who are you!?? Which outlandish planet where you born in? Are you the new superman!?? Hahaha
Seriously though, really strong stuff in here man, I'm completevly in love with your value control, like, seriously impressive. Enviros are sound, characters are sound, palettes are sound, everything looks pretty neat tbh.
Two quick crits, one objective, one subjective:
- The scribe dude is awesome, but his face feels a bit....dead? I don't know, I feel that the skintones there need some lovin', but might be me. Wait, this was gonna be the objective crit....Oh yeah! The arms. I understand you're going for a stylised kinda elongated type of deal but those arms are way too long imo, they come off as a bit wonky, still digging the painting a lot.
- The subjective (specially cause I'm kinda obsessed with this topic myself nowadays, take it with a grain of salt) would be the overall faces. The asaros you posted earlier look pretty neat, but there's a hazard to the asaro studies, and that is that the organic property has a hard time showing up when you've engrained those planes in your head, so maybe try to do some hybrid studies trying to combine real people references with your knowledge of the asaro mapping, maybe that would help to boost a bit more the overall feel, and give them that "ouhmf" required to get them to total awesomeness.
Overall, awesome sketchbook one of the best on these forums imo, so keep bringing us the visual goodies!
Hmkay, bye!
