I was playing around with a sketch in Painter again and this is what I've got so far. I've been using the default oil settings. This is Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. This is a work-in-progress. I think the sketch I started with didn't have enough volume to it so the face is looking a little flat. Oh well, I'm really just experimenting. Let me know if you have any suggestions. I'll work on this some more tomorrow.
This painting is still in the very loose stages so it definately needs refinement.
Let me know what you think.

karana kaouTotal Posts: 1094Jun 17, 2005 7:44 amI like the drawing, but I think it looks a little strange with his face being clearer than his body. Maybe add some more definition to his armor and such?...It does really pull off the creepy feel though. Hmm. --- "I am lost.

BogusRed (Reply)Total Posts: 2854Jun 17, 2005 9:57 amYeah you are right. Much of his body still needs to be refined. The painting is still in a very loose stage. Creepy is probably a good thing with this character since he's the main villian. Although I don't think I was conciously trying to make it feel creepy. --- |

Lady Anime79Total Posts: 2839Jun 17, 2005 8:26 amThis looks amazing. I love his eyes. I don't exactly know who this character is because I have never played FF7, but, it looks remarkable anyway. --- Laughter is the best medicine and your face is curing the world. |

LilimayhemTotal Posts: 1421Jun 17, 2005 1:52 pmNice painting, i really like the "diffuse" effect you made, it gives the background an impression of movement. And hum, i don't know this caracter so i dunno if it's a hood on his head or his hair but if like his head is somehow lost in it... --- Dont take life too seriously, you're gonna die anyway... |

BogusRed (Reply)Total Posts: 2854Jun 17, 2005 2:09 pmThanks. I'll work on it some more so that his hair doesn't look so much like a hood --- |

Lilimayhem (Reply)Total Posts: 1421Jun 17, 2005 2:34 pmlol, now that i've seen the caracter i'm ashamed to have thought it was a hood! Tee hee! --- Dont take life too seriously, you're gonna die anyway... |

BogusRed (Reply)Total Posts: 2854Jun 17, 2005 2:46 pmno don't be ashamed. The fact that you saw it as a hood tells me that I need to clarify the painting. --- |

SliverbaneTotal Posts: 280Jun 17, 2005 5:46 pmWooow! I'm very insterested in seeing the finished piece. You've already established a kind of 'energy' with the colors and brush strokes you're using. Nice composition! It's very hard to look away from. --- Guano smells like a dirty sock full of old cheese and farts! - Gonard |

sairshaTotal Posts: 97Jun 18, 2005 4:12 pmOooh! He looks very creepy and evil here. Wow.... I only know Sephiroth from pictures, having never played the game, but in this picture he's very attractive! I like that only his face is clearly defined, it draws your eyes, makes you hold his gaze. *shudder* --- |

Jill V. -S.T.A.R.S.Total Posts: 2407Nov 12, 2005 11:16 pmOk so when I first saw this I thought it was completely awesome(A whole lot better than I could ever do) But what bugged me about it is that it didn't flow together well to me. It may just be me but visible brush strokes bug me alot. So maybe if you smoothed it up alittle bit it might make look even better. I don't know if that helped any but I still love it!....don't hurt me --- Yes we can! |
|

BogusRed (Reply)Total Posts: 2854Nov 12, 2005 11:22 pmyeah you are right. I think what might not be flowing right is the strokes in the hair and in the leather clothing. They don't look convincing. I like the brushstrokes in the background though. They look kind of cool. His face doesn't look quite right either. I'll have to take another crack at this when I get the chance. --- |

Jill V. -S.T.A.R.S. (Reply)Total Posts: 2407Nov 12, 2005 11:30 pmOh your right about the strokes in the background I like those. The strokes on him though should be smother is what I ment so you could make him out alittle more. And do finish this one I'd really loved to see how it comes out. --- Yes we can! |
