this was a 'quick' one between requests. a halfling rogue-more of the drifter type. i tried to focus more on fluid forms, and lighting, than the usual 'bells and whistles'. got a little lazy and recycled the color scheme from Isabelle-but it works. SOURCES: base head is Kazou from the movie Battle Royale. leather texture from Mcfarlane toys Metal Gear series. hope this works for you halfling/rogue players out there. feedback and critques appreciated.
I had to come back and vote on this now that there's a new voting system here. I love this portrait! I've used it so much :) And I see what you mean relsh about the mood. I always tend to look more at the overall "mood and atmosphere" of a pic rather than weather it's "anatomically correct" or not. This portrait is perfect as it is in my eyes. You managed very well to portray a halfling rogue. Well done.

pointing fingers is quite alright, though i think your gripe is a stylistic one, as you might be misreading the intentions of the portrait. its not meant to be a realistic picture of someone standing in the rain. the point was to establish the feeling of a character through mood, form, and and atmosphere. the "metallic effects" are just that-effects, more specifically "gestures" used to establish a "feeling" or mood. these gestures (and the mood they create) are open to interpretaion, as some see it as "rain",others see it more abstractly.

I hate to point fingers, but I think there are some problems with this portrait- To me, the rain doesnt look realistic. It looks like the whole portrait is a picture with metallic effects on.. ;) His body looks twisted; it almost looks as if he is a little.. eh... heavy... on the middle. Also, his face seems to have some kind of motion blur or something... You have some better portraits out here. But your texturizing is good. Cheers!

[*quote: Relsh* Glad you guys like it. the "rain" texture is a piece of sheet metal i steelwooled to death. i tend to use it alot. and as far as the hair goes, its a layering thing. i overlay my backround over top of it. then i duplicate the hair and pull pieces "above" the overlay. that way it has some depth. the lack of a neck is a problem though, i forgot to highlight it like the side of the face-my bad. Thanks for the feedback-its always useful. ] Thanks for explaining! I've been experimented a little with textures and brushes lately, but I'm not very good at it, lol. It's very fun though :) The more I look at this portrait, the more I love it. It has a very "grunge" feel to it. Again; great work!
