Aragwaith portraits

[Oreb]

Wayfarer, these are masterpieces

With the picture viewing problem I can acess Wayfarer's by using the link but Kestenevarn's doesn't work for me

Also, Nice emoticon (Time to take back the Web)

I might say something rude here, but the picture doesn't feel right to me. Details are fine, the whole idea is good too.

In fact, I guess those clothes hiding the body prevented you from seeing where her members began. Therefore, I wonder where they're supposed to be connected to the body.

My advice would be to make a stick-figure / dummy sketch*. This should help you improve your shading too.
*I'm French, I hope my explanation makes sense

Shortening her members can be done from there, without restarting from scratch.

Wonderfull two comments I can't really understand.

He does make certain impression. Some kind of relief I'm sitting in a moderate climate zone, not in a desert, where I could meet him and unconsciously say something bad about something his mother.

I can accept that he might not be equipped for the desert but well the rest lies in the dark. If you mean that he looks to calm, well he looks as angry as a person without a face is able.

Members. My dictionary says something about people being part of a group.
Do you mean the chest. Well I avoid my sketches like the devil holy water there was a dummy sketch but I got rid of him as fast as I could.

For Example this is one of my cleanest pencil sketches

Though you are right but this one will get some other updates the emblem still needs some works and a few other things.

Members, in this case, means limbs (arms and legs).

Nah...
Totally the other way. He looks well, he has that certain advantage(for me, dark-fantasy fan) that he looks really intimidating and has this mystique feeling. It's masterpiece, like the Oreb said, though I'll wait till he is finished to give full comments.

Thanks.
In short I feel her arms/legs are either misplaced or too long.

Why did you think I was talking about her chest anyway?

Call it natural suspicion
Though thanks for the hint.

Base sketch finished no only the detailing must be finished. (I count the face as a damned important detail but it is one of the hardest parts)
About fantasy yeah I like it if the hero isn't far away from the evil guys just because nothing is just black and and white.

Not to forget that the evil ones just got a better taste at clothes

[freim]

These are quite cool

[Eternal]

This is truly good.
But I suggest you either move his head and neck a bit right... or give his face a really dead expression, your choice.

[Zhukov]

Excuse me while I rub the dazzle from my eyes.

That. Is. Awesome.

(Right with you on the not black-and-white.)

[Jetrel]

As I've said before, your natural sense for costuming is better than mine.

Well right though I Like the overall optic though as I created the unit I had a reminiscence to the grim reaper in my mind.

So finished but not entirely happy with it


The coloring will wait a while though.

Awesome

His right wrist looks like it would need to be made of plastic to get the hand and arm into that pose. It could be that this is a matter of perspective that with shading would be cleared up, but in the line drawing it looks a little odd. I would expect his hand to not come over so far.

The other arm is fine, but that arm is wrong.

The biggest thing, more than the wrist, is that the part of the arm that's foreshortened (the forearm) needs to have it's wrappings turned to reflect that!

They're still being drawn as though they're side-on. They, too, need to be foreshortened.

*takes a moment to gawk at cool drawing*
