LordBob's commissionned work

[zookeeper]

I too like the middle one best.

[GunChleoc]

Definitely the middle one

[Dixie]

I'd personally go for the middle one's brownish-orange outside cloak, but with the more saturated right one's red inner cloak and green robe.

[vultraz]

Middle one.

[LordBob]

Hehe, for once there's a clear choice

Compared to the earlier version, I fixed the atrocious folds of his robes - since they were meant to be robes and not baggy trousers - and fiddled with overal colours. So he's finished, and I can now begin his human-clad alternate.

[Astoria]

I really like the way it looks.

[zookeeper]

Really, really nice! Isn't his free hand pretty big though? Foreshortening accounts for why the staff hand is pretty large, but the free hand is (from wrist to fingertips) about as tall as his head. If it's a stylistic choice then nevermind, but it was just the only detail which instantly caught my attention.

[UnwiseOwl]

You know what they say about mages with big hands.

They can summon big lightning.

[vultraz]

Woah, it looks great!

[Blarumyrran]

The colors look washed-out, how about higher contrast, something like

?

[LordBob]

I don't know. You might have a point, but it didn't seem that bad on my home screen. Either way, I'd rather avoid the burnt colours that often result from contrast fixes.
I'll see if I give it a shot before I produce the final cropped image.

Nope, it's a good catch. So I've fixed that and a few other details and posted the final image, along with a face closeup, over here

[zookeeper]

Cool. So now we just need the transparent version, and speaking of that, I don't think we got the one for Moremirmu yet either?

[LordBob]

Not yet. I'll do a group set of these once I'm done with the HttT cast.

[Crow_T]

hmmm, the contrast thing- to me the face looks better with more contrast, but doing the entire image is blowing out the whites in the fur, and the shadows are too abrupt in the cloth. But here we go with monitor calibration

[tr0ll]

why does Delfador's action pose (especially the version with the big hands) remind me so strongly of vultraz's avatar
surely this doesnt foreshadow a mainline future as a nightgaunt for our esteemed wizard?
