Description
I had very little idea as to where this drawing was going when I started making it. I want to be very mindful about the shadows and lighting as well as how they interact, so I took this drawing as an opportunity to practice it. When the general lighting is so harsh it causes objects to cast clear shadows, you have to pay a lot of attention to what parts of objects should be illuminated and what parts shouldn't.
Also, cloth (and clothing) is a massively difficult material to get right and I want to challenge myself in that area by having a lot of creases, folds and such. I still think there're quite a few problems with how the cloth behaves in the drawing, but I'm getting there.

Wonderful work!!Β I'm liking the more muted colors, too... has a more 'outdoorsy' feel.
Congratulations on your much deserved DD! Β

Oh wow I didn't even notice it got featured as a daily deviation . That's quite something. I just thought it was put on the 'what's hot' page

While the stomach cloth wrinkling may be overdone slightly, his right arm and face mask are both superb. And the shadows on the fingers of his left hand is also particularly well done.

Thank you! I agree with you on the wrinkles' excessive wrinklyness, but cloth is a notoriously difficult material to get right. Maybe if I had cropped the image a bit lower and showed a belt or something so as to justify the extreme folding, it would've been fine

Nice work! Solid colors and mooding, and the like the flat design of the background, especially in the trees.
As far as folds in the clothes, they look relatively fine say for having a tad too many on the lower bit of the chest area. It's as if it's twisting into the stomach.
That's just my take, though. It's not like I have much knowledge about that.

Thank you for your analysis. I agree that the creases and folds are a bit overdone on the abdominal area. A slight oversight on my part :^)

Hey
Look
Laundry costs money and isn't a very high priority when you're doing whatever it is this guy's doing

Agreed, but if playing Skyrim has taught me anything it's that you'll get boatloads of money just by adventuring

I took some inspiration from an European robin (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European⦠). I did make some changes to its colouration

The mask makes me think of the one they used for Zorro in the old cliffhanger serials.

This piece is amazing! I love the textured look to the clothes and armour. I also feel like that bird is looking at me like it knows something I donβt π
