Description
This was a goodwill commission that I did on behalf a friend who had some outstanding medical bills. The client wanted a depiction of his dwarf character, who wields a rifle with an axe bayonet attached to it. Part of the character concept was that his attire was that of a Roman legionary soldier.Since the weapon is such a unique one concept-wise, I wanted to put a lot of emphasis on it through composition and value placement.

Nice intense eyes. Love the effect of the brush strokes. Nicely put together. Posing of the hand and location of the trigger is a bit awkward, but that's not a big deal. Ya done good. Make more. ^_^

Reminds me of the Dwarf riflemen in WCIII(I still need to figure out a good Orc strat.)
The thumb is too high up, it looks like it protrudes out at the same point the other fingers do. Thumbs are a fair distance below where the fingers start.
I think you're using whites a little too much. On the weapons and the armour, yeah it's fine, but I wouldn't place it on the beard or the skin. I would lighten the skin tone or the beard, but not make it white, considering they are a different texture. Don't let the lines you've drawn in be the deciding factor where something ends, let the colour define it. If you do want the lines to be dominant, I'd make them come out more.
This thread better explains what I mean : [link]
I can see you blurring the shadows in the darker part of the drawing, but you're not really bringing out the colour on the light edges.
It's looking good, though. You're getting better since your last couple of paintings.

Thanks!
I see what you mean about white highlights. I need to go and get some fluid red, yellow and blue to lighten values. I tend not to use white except for pulling out lights.
Linking CA in my deviations?!

DonΒ΄t mess with the dwarves, they are packing heat. Neat composition.

He's gonna bust a cap in someone.

Dwarves would be creative enough to come up with something like that. Though I imagine they'd use the bayonet part more.
This is a great piece.

I'd imagine so too.
Thanks!

Excellent work - the colouring style really suits your drawing style. It balances out your more cartoony tendencies nicely.

Good piece
Fingers need some work but the overall coloring makes up for it

Interesting creation and such a nice thing to do.

Nice. I would have liked to see more contrast between the dwarf and background but then if the gun was supposed to be the centerpiece it does draw more attention.

Thanks!
Yeah the dwarf does get kind of lost back there.

I find it amazing that all the color stuff I used to scoff at in highschool is actually starting to make sense. I really ought to find me a color textbook so I can see what all else I'm screwing up personally.
