The faces in the bottom set look medieval.

Give one a chain coif and he'll be perfect

HUZZAH!

well, you get the idea. :/

that is one bald chainmail wearing dude right there

Also my face when you said sketches. How long have you been at this art business again? Because even your sketches are almost photographic in quality. If you aren't a professional already, then by every applicable god and natural phenomenon YOU SHOULD BE.

i would post a doodle of starkly contrasting quality but i don't have one ready right now so yeah enjoy max's work

Lol, wow thanks Shook I'm pleased to hear that. I've been drawing since about 2008, no formal schooling. Just one day opened MS Paint and went at it.

Anyway, should have some more heads to show in a few days, trying to do them daily.

FOUR YEARS

ONLY FOUR YEARS

How inspirational and jellifying! I started actually spriting exactly at October 27th 2008 (the day where i was hammered with the STOP PILLOW SHADING hammer, i consider everything before that to be condensed failure), which is also four years ago, hence they jellifying part. Then again, i suppose i haven't exactly been all that diligent with my practice. That, and it's a fairly recent thing that i started drawing on a macroscopic scale. I don't have that dated, though. :U (also the fact that i'm drawing with a mouse using my off hand might be a factor too, but if my pencil drawings are anything to go by, i actually draw better this way, which is totally weird)

also because this is an arty thread i'll have you know that i've begun the painstaking process of colouring EL PUÑO DE LA JUSTICIO



NOW FOR THE SHADING

This was never in the wrong topic

Your colors are always so perfect! How do you go about figuring that out? I can never decide what colors make the best composition.

He's colorblind so he just picks them all over.

Jk they make some sense.

Hey metal wasn't it yellow/green blindness?

I was honestly going to say something on how nothing you just said made you not look like a terrible person. I think I'm going to wait and see what Chao thinks, though, because it's probably going to be much, much funnier.

I wonder how I would react to being colorblind.

You'd probably look at colors in a different way.

For the base colours I just cheat


Highlights I just learned to do with maths instead of by eye
Shifting the hue up or down by 3-5 points and the luminosity by somewhere between 10 and 20 is usually sufficient, if that doesn't look right I tinker with the saturation a bit too but as you can already probably tell I like that as high as possible.

I'm not sure colourblindness is reproducible in a fully-grown human man because as far as I'm aware I have the same number of rods and cones in my eyes, just different ones. They can't just pull some of them out and reduce your perception of the spectrum. It would be an interesting experiment if they could though.



And I'm pretty sure yellow/green colourblindness isn't a thing.
There's four kinds of red/green colourblindness and one for blue/yellow. I'm one of the more common ones, surprisingly enough.

You should move the hues more the darker they are, since the darker a color is the less effect hue has on it.

Either the hue or the saturation yeah (usually lower saturation, in the case of a dark colour )

The Mexicano Hand is epic.
