That's quite a heroic looking goblin you have there. If it's not accepted for mainline, can I please use it for the Free Goblin Campaign (which is but a twinkle in my eye at this stage)?

And yes, you can. I believe it would otherwise go a bit wasted. You're free to use it even if it does make it into mainline.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
The wolf's eyes. I had a bit of a play and desaturated it. I'm not sure if I prefer it with or without the added specular though.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
Oh. Well that does look a lot better. Thank you very much. Could you post the whole picture with the eye-desaturation?

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
I wasn't sure if you meant with or without specular, but it's easy enough to edit out if you don't want it (just replace it with the surrounding colour).Girgistian wrote:Oh. Well that does look a lot better. Thank you very much. Could you post the whole picture with the eye-desaturation?

Thanks. I'm pretty pleased with both of them so it doesn't really matter.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
He looks so... sombre. As if he's resigned to an unpleasant fate.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
Could you soften the highlights a little? He's rather shiny.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
Um, the biggest problem I still see with this is varied line width, (or in this case the lack of it) Everything is surrounded by a think dark line, which really detracts from what would otherwise be very good. I'd say you shoul just look at some other mainline work and pay attention to the line art some-especially the face (the sketch of it was fine, something was lost when digitally inked though, due to uniform seeming lines)
Besides that, I love the pose and costuming, and think it's greatly improved from the first attempt!

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
Well... I could try yet another rework of this. Or maybe just redo the goblin, if the wolf seems okay.

Re: Wolf Rider portrait
Wait for Jetryl, but I'd say that the face and the minor details *have* to have the lines changed. If you have thi saved with layers, simply changing the line art layer and making the rest of the resulting tweaks shouldn't be too hard, right?
You've obviously put ALOT of work/effort into this, but having good line work on the digital version is key (and something that I need tons of work on as well >_<)
I like the wolf--it looks good the way it is (^_^)
