-Brutus- Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wuuhuuu I just finished my drawing of a Rubric Marine. I had plans for this one for a while and I'm finally done with it. Please tell me what you think. http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/081/6/e/rubric_marine_by_bastianst-d5yuuwy.jpg http://bastianst.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greyall Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Great idea. Though, as a practitioner of more conceptual artwork, I'm a tiiiny little bit sad for not seeing the armour more clearly =p But that, of course, is part of your plan for the art. Well done =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Neat The proportions of the legs seem a bit off. Also, what the hell is going on with his shadow? It looks so crude compared to the rest of the piece. There's no texturing or blending like you see in the rest of the composition, or even a defined shape. it's just marker-like streaks of solid black. Between the shadow and the way his feet and shins look beside the ground, it's almost like he was just slapped on top of another finished picture. And I would really like to see some sort of spirit mist or ashes or something translucent like that falling/wisping around the holes. But that's just me, and it would risk ruining the effect. Over all, pretty nice. You have a solid talent for coloring. The guardsmen are also an excellent touch But I can't take my eyes away from that shadow.

-Brutus- Posted March 23, 2013 Author Share Posted March 23, 2013 Thanks for the feedback guys.. @Greyall I acutally sketched the whole warrior before turning him into a silhouette so I might just draw him later. And then with spirit mist as Firepower suggested. @Firepower: Thanks for the hints. I'm not sure where the legs are out of proportion though. On my own monitor the shadow looks fine. But when I viewed the same picture from my Ipad the image was brighter and I could see that you were right. The shadow is horrible. I'll have to redo that! And while I'm at it.. I might redo the Guardsmans hand on the right. I did the background with the guardsmen last and ended up being more happy with the background than the marine.

Firepower Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 The leg proportions are off in that the lower segment should reach about 20% higher up. Remember that the shin armor doesn't begin at the knee, but actually goes above it in the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Brutus- Posted April 1, 2013 Author Share Posted April 1, 2013 Right, I fixed the errors now I think. Worked on the sadow a bit (even though I just can't see it on my screen), made the shin longer and fixed a few minor issues. I hope it's better now! http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/091/4/d/rubric_marine_by_bastianst-d6014fu.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 The shadow looks exactly the same. I'm amazed you can't see it, regardless of difference between monitors. It's solid black after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
