Welcome to Gaia! ::

Here's a work in progress as I strive to get my mojo working again.



There's some bits I'm not hugely confident about - his left arm (our right) and the hand especially seem kind of funky, but I can't work out why. Likewise his left foot is bugging me, and I'm having a hard time working out what it should look like at that angle.

If some kindly soul would be so good as to redline this mofo all to hell, that'd be fantastic. Otherwise any crits you have are good too. cool

PS: Yeah, I know he's in the usual dude-just-standing-there pose I normally use. I'm going to try to break out of it, I swear, but need to get back in the habit of drawing before I do. Small steps. crying

He needs a wider stance. I really think a more appealing face would help, too. I don't mean "make him pretty", I mean "draw it better". he's sort of staring off into nothing with a stiff expression.

Armored Evil Half-Elf Tiefling Druid?
I like the drawing, at least. A lot of the stuff looks awkward because it's at an unnatural stance, not because the anatomy is flawed.

Giraffe neck. The head would be mostly fine if you brought it down and reduced the neck like 30%. That's going to be annoying, so you may want to redraw the entire thing and change the face while you're at it.

The off-center perspective isn't executed perfectly - the torso is leaning to his right, but his right limbs don't reflect that. Foreshorten, especially if you're going to extend the stance, which you should. Codpiece might look weird when you bring out the leg.

And yeah, the hands. Is he trying to do a WRYYY? It looks funky because its not clear why he would be doing that, besides to look brooding.

Also, I feel like a tail of that length should be thicker, or shorter, but creature anatomy is mostly a matter of opinion.

I think the had looks funky because its to big for the length of the arm. That arm is closer than his right to us yet shorter...


I actually like the face, I think the eyes need a bit more life, like some reflection to make it like he is looking at something but otherwise it has a cartoony charm.
