RE: Another Female Knight Painting
Yay can't wait for seeing that cover art for our mutual friend!! 😃
About this one here, hehe I was about to comment "but that arm looks weird" anyway even with the botched arm the piece is still Impressive, I'm sure when you fix it it will be 10 times better 😎
Thank you!
Yeah I think the main problem is the foreshortening and ellipses on that arm - shoulder armor, elbow, edge of glove etc. They show wrong perspective. Eccentricity is off, ellipses should be more circular, and overlap more. It would take re-painting the arm basically. I might try it today or tomorrow, as I just finished the cover and almost finished with the contest entry... :)
It also appear to be squeezing the helmet like a bag or pillow, will you be using 3D for getting the arm shape and pose right? 😃 If you do please post the process I'd like to see if I can learn something by watching you work hehe
nah, I did it just now, it was quicker than I thought. I just took a quick look in the mirror and saw what my main mistake was, sketched on top then moved some stuff around, repainted some other stuff, it's not highly polished but now I must start on a different piece! :)
Yep already looking much better :D
