Description
Here he is in all his glory!WITH A NEW SHADING STYLE!
During my last days at NCAT, the art school I went to this year, I learned of using the paintbrush tool on Photoshop to make gradient shading. Easy really.
1. Select an empty area within an outline with Magic Wand tool (hold shift and click on other spaces to get all areas at once)
2. Make a second layer for your shadows to be placed. (This can be sometimes forgotten when you select the areas on the first layer and brush over the areas without selecting the second layer. -_-)
3. Adjust gradient and flow when you have the paintbrush tool selected
4. And then brush away and you have made shadows!
Of course, I'm still a bit new to this technique to I apologize if the shading looks a bit rough.
But other than that, I'm pretty proud of how this turned out!
UPDATED!!!
Added some magma textures, made the picture itself bigger, redid the shading and lighting
UPDATED 2
Improved helmet design and leg armor

Can he actually fly with those wings or are they just for show?

Ah yes, I remembered that helmet when I was planning on the design for this and thought ‘yeah, I actually really like this helmet, so I did just that. Btw, the sliver parts on the helmet, by the mouth, the bottom half splits off. Kinda like the Predator.
