Here it is again Friday. Some say the best day of the week, because it is the last day of the work week. Others same it’s just another day because they work weekends. For me I say it is Friday Open Critique Day. Share with us projects you are working on and we will let you know what we think. By doing so, you agree to be open all comments. Please remember that the comments you make should be helpful, for we all have areas that we can improve on.

A tattooed jungle warrior. Just looking for a fresh set of eyes to see what needs to be done, or if I’m overlooking something that doesn’t quite work. Also, name suggestions are welcome, I usually am pretty satisfied with naming my guys but I can’t come up with anything appropriate for this guy. Thanks!
I would have to think on the name for a little while. But for the picture itself, you have a real good base character but there is two things I would work on. 1. I would use another belt, it really doesn’t fit the character plus he already has a sword in his hand and would need a place to sheathe that one.
2. His eyes are flat without any character to them, the eyes say a lot about a character they show feelings and age. They are in ways the corner stone/key stone that the structure of the character is built upon.
I just finished making a 1000 pieces puzzle and decided to try a pose seen in it, but I’m having hard time to get it working. And don’t ask how I’m going to clothe it, because I have not the faintest…
Here is the pose: http://www.heromachine.com/wp-content/legacy/forum-image-uploads/dionne-jinn/2012/12/LyingPose3.png
And here is the puzzle artwork used for reference: http://img1.iwascoding.com/4/2012/11/14/3D/13751B009DDF49639FC0E08679144406.jpg

Any critique welcomed.

One of the characters in the novel I’m writing, this is when he is training for about a quarter of the novel but takes place near the middle. Green hair, violet eyes, and I based the coat of arms after my own family’s.
Remember that you can do a lot with just coloring the body parts to look like clothes and adding other items like capes to make it look like clothes.
See if this can help you out:

If so, here’s the text file:

(Just hope this doesn’t sit 5 hours in moderation again…..) 😉
Ah moderation…. I just looooooove it.
I got her dressed. And did the background.

This is what I have so far…

I had posted something trying to help you out… HOWEVER, it is still in moderation…. (apparently my old method of responding to these is not going to work out anymore, sice no one is checking the comments that get flagged for moderation)…..
I see you made it work… if you still want to see what I had, I posted it to the forums at:
http://www.heromachine.com/forum/poses/worfs-custom-poses/#p16246
What popped out for me was that the hands on the horse were shaded, which paint would not be. Other than that it looks good, curious what animal has such big teeth that he’s been able to kill.
Ok, so now I have to complain that I seem to be singled out as the A***OLE who gets just about every comment in moderation… Have I done something wrong to deserve this????
I will send Jeff an email on this to see what the issue is. The only thing I personally can think of is the Multiple ULR in your post ( including the link on your user name ) but that is just a guess, as I said I will email Jeff. Wish I could help more directly however I can’t moderator one of HammerKnight’s posts here on the blog only my own.
For the painted hands on the horse, make color 1 and line color invisible. Looks much more like someone stuck their hand in paint and then touched the horse……
I am sorry for dropping the ball.
Very, very, very nice. Works much better than mine. Just sad about your comments getting stuck into the moderation. It can be a real pain.
I can’t remember if I have shown this one off for one of these posts. Have a look see and tell me what you think.

And I’m sorry for the language. I was a bit frustrated in general and this turned into a little escape valve.
Maybe you should do some Taiji to relax
