Description
A WIP shot of my current endeavor. This picture gets more hits than any others so I started with it for color (also its one of my favorites). Should be wrapping up the rendering and textures soon, stay tuned!Related content

I am currently working on many at once, so that I can have many ready all at once, a longer wait initially, but then I will be able to post a few each week while I continue on the next batch.
These are all being colored ATM: Motoko, Boba Fett, Senior Massacre, Swiss Guard, Rev. Custodier, Chandra, Marshall Griffstone.
Might be a few I forgot but its about 6 or 7 Im working on all together in spurts.

Whoa. I see. Didn't think you're working on it like that. Okay, my body is ready for them

Yes it is quite challenging...sometimes I get tired of doing a tedious part so I just pull up a different one to work on that may only need colors blocked in or some cleaning up etc. This way I can stay productive all the time without getting sick of my own work.
Glad you are ready! Hopefully they will be well received. Still deciding it I wanna do double versions with and without line art.

Thanks 
Still in the air about backgrounds, probably stick to simplified stuff, not sure if I want it blurry like a lot of artists do or something more specific.

that seems to be a good way. ma girlfriend works that way too, but we still prefer working with copic markers and coloured pencils as soon as we put color in a piece. but still, have to get my trusty wacom to work again some day ...

Well prior to Wacom and PS which I got last year I was using Prismacolor markers. I may post those one day after scanning them in. Seems a shame to have 600 markers you dont use, especially at the cost they are.

yes, markers are really expensive. i own ~72 copic markers, and they were "cheap" when i got 36 for 111 euros (insteadΒ of 280) still is a lot of money.
please upload a few of your marker pieces, i am really onterested in how you did with markers :3.

Be warned it was from many moons ago! But ok, I will try and scan some in sometime soon.

Some basic colors and what a difference! Although I don't necessarily like that over-saturated skin color, the rest is fine I guess. If It were my concept, I'd stick with two basic hue sets, and try to avoid using several of them. I mean, it's not like it breaks the composition, It's just my taste. Now the rest is shading. It's not gonna be cel-shaded, am I right?

On reference to the hue sets, if you mean my lighting arrows, they are not actually those colors, it was just the color I had out at the time lol. I will do a strong side light, a mid above and a light opposing side. Probably in red or blue hues.
As to the skin, on my final version I will adjust the saturation in curves, this was just very saturated so I could see what I was painting and testing out skin tones (thus the zillions of colors) in the final I will lighten it up a lot.
The colors for the suit are not really my choice, I am following codex colors for this model. I may adjust them some to taste, but mostly following the real model from the game Infinity.
Thanks for critique, I will appreciate more feedback when I post the final!

no, I didn't meant lighting arrows, I meant that you've got some blues, reds, greens and greys all together, whereas I prefer to stick with one or two of them, or stick within the specified hue range. But I didn't know you're following the color set of already existing concept.

Ah I see, ya the only reason for jumping around is because the model is mostly black, gray and purple, and so I was picking some slightly different versions, doing a purple gray, a blue gray etc. Just so when I render the piece I dont end up with all the same looking gray/black in one material. I am going to try and tie the piece together when I start shading and highlighting.

I see. I'm waiting forward to see the progress
