Description
Weel, im so far behind where i think i should be color wise, so im really going to be working on messing around with different techniques and really pushing myself more with my work, and i think i should show you guys that progress, ONE!*edit*
Changed the nose afterall, made it a little more visible, IT BOTHERED ME! Everything else though, im keeping the same. The reality is that REALITY dictates the lighting, and if this were a real photograph that i had taken, i probably would have gone for more INTENSITY on the lighting, and i wanted this to capture that which i would have gone for, PEACE!

I can't help but be taken to Mid World. My first thought was of Roland Deschain on his quest for the Dark Tower.

Nice work. I'm glad you are getting into more color work. Even if you're not working for big companies in comics, that doesn't mean you can't work for some gaming companies. The pay is not always fantastic, but it is published work.

awesome!!! i really dig it dude. i think the vertical line bit over top might be pushing too hard. while it gives me that old movie reel feeling, it's not terribly convincing. but i'll get over it.
it pains me that with all the shit you got keeping you from drawing, you're still way better than me

looks amazing the backround is beautiful and the cowboy looks kool. I love the wrinkles and folds in his shirt. How do you figure out where to put them? I always have a hard time with that.

this has a taste of Turners style, which is unlike most of your work, but I just thought Id point it out.
I like the piece.

the glare on the nose is really strong.. it makes it looks like you chopped his face off.

how do you get your wrinkles in the clothing so realistic? Great job. My only beef is the light blurring his face. I think it ruins it..

Good job Chris! the lines is great as always, and here comes my crits, the colors of the guy don't work with the colors of the backgroun in my opinion and is the background a photo? or digital BG in Ps?

Thanks head, yeah im still working on it now, im trying to find out different ways to balance the colors, so im gonna be posting up a newer version of this one with the crits utilized. And thats a stock photo i found somewhere, and blew up, i like the fuzzy feeling to it, im trying to use different techniques, and decided to keep this one like this.
