Oh, he looks very badass. I don't think this came out bad at all - for you being new to the painting style, that's pretty amazing actually!

painting style is so tedious!! cause i keep thinking everything looks good but then when i look back i realize i missed so many spots to smooth out or fix.. XD but i got to a point where i was like WHATEVER -uploads- :p
i did have fun with his markings a lot though haha

From what I see...NOTHING is wrong here! >.</* lol

aww thank you! ;; i guess i just was expecting it to come out a very different way.. XD but i couldn't get it to work out for some reason. the background was gonna be detailed mainly

Wow this is AWESOME! What a hunk!!! :D

;P thanks!! i hear he just broke up with his gf... he's available ;0 he likes long walks on the beach and hates silver.

THIS IS AWESOME! dont doubt your work. its so amazing <3

aww thanks so much! I always try to have a positive attitude about my work but i just got a little frustrated when i was trying to finish up this piece x)

i can understand that. its still amazing and not all artist can pull off the colors and details you did either. your style is unique and your the only one who can do what you do. dont forget that and never give up on your art because its amazing to behold n.n

Thank you SO much! your comment made my day :,))
I will definitely try to always keep that in mind, i'm very thankful for the support this site gives.

sure thing. i was only being honest and trying to be supportive with a hint of uplifting lol.

Yes

If this were chocolate, I'd put it on my sundae.

Yeah, wait for me to setup the camcorder first.. geez

but stubborn, too. wont even take off all the stupid shredded clothing.

but clothing sex is hot :o it's permitted!

Good god! Why do you want any advice? It looks awesome!
I bet even if you tell me the "mistakes" I won't be able to find them! I wish I could draw even 1% as good as you...

That dude goes ham

SPAZZ ATTACK 83 instant awesome for being a werewolf

This is pretty solid! It's more successful than the orcy guy in some ways, and less in others. I think the fur texture is really great around the neck and head, but doesn't work as well down on the chest. A big chest poof looks great in lineart, but doesn't translate well to this lineless style, though I think it COULD with some work! Pose is good, colors are good. The background I don't like as much, and it might be the black over on the left side. I can tell you were toning down the brightness, but I think it could have worked better with complimentary colors rather than black, you know? The markings on the fur are stellar, both the darker stripes and the white areas. And those little blue symbols are great too! I like how the level of detail drops off down around his feets but they're still detailed ENOUGH. Though the level of detail in the head is extremely high and just, awesome and crisp and fantastic looking (I think you could offer painted ports/icons btw even now!) but you don't see that level of detail anywhere else on the figure. I think it's making my eye be drawn TOO much to the face? Like it's a good place for the eye to be drawn, but I dunno, I feel like it needs more balance in that regards. Even small things like defining the edges of the claws better may help. Sorry, I'm not being too coherent right now. XD; My main beef with the pic here are his clothes. They definitely don't blend with the rest of the pic, and feel pasted on. The figure has such a wide range of colors, but the cloth only has two that I can see: dark reddish and blackish (and green on the arm). I think they're too dark to fit in with the rest of the image, and with not enough of a range of color in them. I also think you could have emphasized more of the smaller folds, since right now there are only large sweeping areas of folds.

Phew, that was a big one. I hope it helps! I get a little nitpicky but I get the feeling you want some heavy crit, so! :) Overall it's a successful painting and you should feel proud!

XD I definitely know what you mean about the face, it's definitely because I started the detailing on the face neck and arms and as i went further down i was like ..omg.. so sick of this!! which definitely is a mistake I can't ever make if i ever try doing trades/commissions of these types of things!
the clothes definitely were the biggest struggle because I coudln't figure out how to paint them on without them just looking blurry and weird, so I kept a selection mask around them which definitely makes them not look... natural XD I think if I can just figure out how to be able to paint two different textures (ie. fur against clothing) then i'll be able to make them look better in the end.
I also think an ongoing struggle will be finding a single way to make a painting, since i took a different approach to this than the 1st painting they have very different results. I don't want each painting to have such different quality/style changes so i'll have to find the technique i like the best and try to stick with it!! XD mostly it's just been blind trial and error for both.. I am surprised that they are coming out better than i initially expected but still! I feel like if i just be more patient with them they will come out a lot better.
THANK YOU so much for this comment :D I love critique a lot (on pieces that aren't commissions of course) so getting this really makes me happy and I will try to learn from my mistakes as best as i can ^^
(P.S the background was going to be a night sky with a full moon but it didn't quite work out.. so i got a little frustrated and just painted that bg XD i might go back and try to completely change it)

I definitely see where you're coming from! Definitely try to keep the selection mask off, though you can work on another layer! Good luck. Don't try for style consistency with this right now... you should experiment wildly to see what you like and how it all feels!

Yay, werewuff! Rawr!

Aside from that, to me it seems great, though I'm an untrained eye. Too me it's beautiful, especially the blended pallet look of the background.

FLUFFFF!! werewolves are so cool, there needs to be MORE!
and thank you <33

I second the first statement.

I also like the tattooish rune thing on his chest, neat-o!

"A wurrwulf?"

"No, werewolf. Were-say it!"

WAY-...WUH-..wuurr.. wurrwolf :[

"There's just so much litter on the highway."

I want painting tips from you!!

I WANT FEET/BOOBIE/FACE/EVERYTHING TIPS FROM YOU

I think this is reallygood, and I think you a bright future in digital painting and should not feel discouraged. The central figure looks superb (the fur is beautifully rendered). My only possible criticism would involve the background, which looks tentative and does not quite set off the figure. That niggle aside, awesome job!

Woooow, this looks beautiful. I've really fallen in love with painting styles recently, and this just totally caught my eye. I hope you'll keep practicing with it!

this is uber bad ass nice muscle work and face

Bad arse I love it.
