Description

DESTINY: Comissioned work

I pulled out all the stops for this one!
I'm trying to think of technical notes that you would like to hear about... This is all photoshop. I think the tools I use more than anything can be set in this order. 1 being the most comon:

1. Paintbrush
2. Pen (for selections)
3. Burn and dodge (I use these in all my work)
4. Smudge (same with this one)

I used a mouse for everything execpt the hair and some of the clouds.

This project was similar to making a traditional airbursh painting with a lot of masking off areas to paint in.

Original photo of reference model by Alex Gumerov.
The background was referenced off of a photo I took at the Temple Of Heaven in Beijing.

EDIT: I changed the lighting a bit and the hair

Excellent in all aspects, there is just a little detail in the BG that bothers me and its the red plain wall, but maybe your intention was to make a flat bg to make the character pop up even more, the moonlight is excellent.

hmm this is great stuff!

Love the pose and colours,
the are excellent.

I don't like the overall airbrushy/ smooth feel.
I miss textures especially on the skin (and muscle definition).
There is hardly difference in how the variety of objects reflect lights etc.
It's just too shiny overall.

Hope you're not offended with this point of criticism,
you're very talented and heading to be Elite;)

Keep it up + 9.5 = 10:)
