>>82833533Based on what I've seen, everyone. I kid, I kid...if they were colorblind, it might actually help some of them with value.
Seriously, some of you guys need to turn your works black and white and just give it a once over. You'd be surprised how many of you just slam the middle scale and completely ignore the lights and the darks, apart from white eyes and black holding lines.
>>82833886In regards to this one, yeah, taking off that X on the chest helped it make a little more sense, pragmatically, but the costume still makes no sense. Even the wackiest costume still needs to have some kind of foundation in reality from which you extrapolate the story out of. But before even all that, the knee-pads and the uh...foot guard. The Yin/Yang thing. They have no attach point on the figure unless they're just glued on. But if they're glued on, what's the point of them? Why would the character wear them? What function do they serve?
We can assume that it's explained in the story, but for a suit of armor or costume, they're just kinda there. If anything they're distracting and should just be replaced by a simple kneepad set.
The flatness is a result of all the lines that should be circling the form is instead just almost straight and horizontal. It's like looking at a barrel head on. Some lines would be straight but a lot of lines would be curved. Or like a hula-hoop that you rotate around vertically. You can usually indicate these curves with clothing and wrinkles, or anatomy/shading.
