OMG, your ele looks soooo amazing! Do you do that in one layer or in multiple? That is just so cool... I can't believe how you can do such amazing stuff in such short time

Done in five layers.

-grayscale image
-three different coloring and lighting layers.

"You are all dead! Yes, you! DEAD!"

Gonna' widen the stance a bit more. Once that's done, I'll start on the background and then later import everything into Maya (once I get that fully installed).

Fantastic work, as usual. You sir, are likely the most talented artist on GWG.

Charlie Dayman · Jan 10, 2011, 12:42 AM // 00:42

Thanks Del.

Serious distraction this past day and a half watching "Whose Line Is it Anyways" clips on youtube. Still learning to work with Grayscale and find that exact method I like. Getting there progressively.

Still need to add the Canthan army behind Iron, along with some of the Afflicted in the foreground. Fun stuff.

Looking really pro.

Face guard part is covering the eyes too much, we cant see the crazy "I'm going to slaughter you all!" look any more. :-(

I know, sad face indeed.

But as much as I liked the face, I felt like it was really limiting the armor. My head just seemed kind of out of place in comparison to the rest of my body covered entirely in plate.

I tried toying around with the demon mask again, but that seemed to block out the expression even more. I think with this helmet it adds way more of that heavy-armor look, while still being able to tell I'm saying "hello" to you.

Also, picture updated. Keeping the fur elements nice and strong to add a bit of flavor to the piece. It'll help pull attention to Iron once I add in the background. Plus, it'll look really cool when I animate it.

@Kiya: O no, that his eyes are just poking over makes it that much creepier. xD

Loving it, Charlie.

Also... Animate? Sweet.

Charlie Dayman · Jan 10, 2011, 04:28 AM // 04:28

Cheers, Drel.

I always thought warrior masks could be really intimidating if you show a small hint of someone with the look of murder in their eyes.

And yes, animation through using SCIENCE.

Aeronwen · Jan 10, 2011, 09:01 AM // 09:01

Somehow it is a totally different picture with the face covered. I kind of miss the face but I do love the helmet.

hmmm animate huh? That'll be interesting ^^

Charlie Dayman · Jan 10, 2011, 11:54 AM // 11:54

Yeah, the helmet completely changed the character in a good way.

4 a.m. and I'm still awake for some reason. Some background progress.

It's amazing and you're amazing. I haven't commented much but I've been stalking this. Why I wish you had DeviantArt so it would be easier to stalk you! :>

Tommy's · Jan 10, 2011, 02:21 PM // 14:21

Because stalkers should help eachother out:

And really charlie, that looks, once again, amazing! I like the effect your brush has on the clouds. Colors are stunning like always.
One thing I dont understand is how you people manage to draw until such hour :O

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 10, 2011, 03:24 PM // 15:24

I have a feeling we almost unlocked a new character!

Morag D · Jan 10, 2011, 04:35 PM // 16:35

ooooooh! very epic indeed. love your color palette and the details are INSANEZ

Charlie Dayman · Jan 11, 2011, 12:42 AM // 00:42

@Nian: Thanks to Tommy, you can feel free to DA stalk me.

@Tom: I'm just a night freak and get a lot of work done at weird hours.

@IH: almost unlocked a new char.

@Morag: thanks, glad you like it

Final WIP screen. Trying to bring back the theme I used in the first picture of my char. Lots of soldiers, banners and fire. Still have a few more details to add, but I'm fairly close to being done.

InfestedHydralisk · Jan 11, 2011, 12:53 AM // 00:53

Yes that's what I said.

And that was really quick.

Charlie Dayman · Jan 11, 2011, 12:55 AM // 00:55

Pft, I'm dumb and read your comment wrong, lol.
