IftU Portraits | Update: Shadow Master

[kitty]

unfortunately i had no time to work some more on asthrogar. but i'll change the shapes of the quilts, they were really sloppily drawn and i hoped nobody would notice since i really like his postue i won't change the way he's holding his axe, you're right, it would be a little more realistic if it was more asymmetrical, but i don't want to loose the gravity of the figure.

and thanks Noy for the interesting link! really worth listening to if you're interested in portraiture.

finals for asthorgar and first roughs for elyssa (former nice red mage from utbs, now demonized and heavily reconstructed the shaxthal way)

WE ARE THE BORG! YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED! RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!

On a more serious note, Asthorgar looks awesome! I'm likin' that axe.

Asthorgar's belly reads fine now =)

And the elyssa-cyborg looks cool =D I prefer the version with hair, if you want some input on which looks cooler =)

i hope she won't read too borg-like, perhaps i'll change the armour's colour slightly. damn cyborgs...

and i hope both versions will be usefull - there is one scene with her wearing a metal mask and later one without.

I found myself surprised at how creepy cyborg-Elyssa looks. I'm not sure why I'm surprised; you've certainly demonstrated a diversity of personality types in the past, but something about the skin, face, and jaw armour gives me the chills.

Must be too long since I played the game. Cyborgs.

Perhaps I minor nitpick the mask feels to rounded and a bit tpo wide at the top. Just my 2 cents.

[woodmouse]

Cool cyborg Elyssa! But she does look a lot like Borgs...

[JW]

Maybe uncover the belly in the right one? I don't know the character, but the two pictures seem like they capture different extremes:
left one has a human body and metal head
right one has a metal body and human head.
I think a combination would look nice (not that they don't already look nice, they are in fact both quite good ).

...time again for some kitty appreciation! hooray!

[Sapient]

don't worry so much if it looks like borg...
it's wicked awesome looking!

[scienceguy8]

Just to be different, I'm gonna say I got more of a RoboCop feel from Elyssa (remember, towards the end of the first movie we see Officer Murphy's face after he removes his upper head covering). I always wondered what happened to her.

I'm afraid I do not have much to add to the discussion except encouragement. These are turning out great and inspired me to try out Invasion of the Unknown again. Good job.

[kitty]

thanks for all your replies! here are preliminary finished versions of both forms of elyssa.

[woodmouse]

Wow...!
That's one of the coolest things I've ever seen!
I just have to ask, what is the rubbles in the right arm?

that would be shirvelled skin where muscle has deteriorated, and fat been used up, I think.

looking awesome kitty BTW
