mattmcl Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I painted this for the GenghisCon competition, though I didn't win. Constructive criticism welcome. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turhan Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Great face on that lil guy. He shows wisdom and patience. Kind of like Yoda, but Yoda never had the cool Stick of Mighty Thumping. The whole thing looks very good, but in a competition you likely were marked down for not having a fancy base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 I had a similar thought Turhan. I immediately thought, "Wow this guy looks like what a really cool yoda would look like" Very nicely done on this one. I think that the base probably was what kept you from winning the comp though. Even adding a little static grass here and there would spice it up a bit. Otherwise a fantastic model. Very good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushmaster Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Not a bad piece of work but it could probably do with a little more highlights as it appears a little drab to me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Reminds me of Yoda actually . . . something about the face. The paint job is nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmcl Posted February 26, 2007 Author Share Posted February 26, 2007 Well, I wanted to see what you all had to say before I wrote this, but Ann was a judge- her comments were more highlighting and more dark lining. In this comp, the bases were given very minimal weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whyspyr Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Hey Matt! It was great to meet you at GenghisCon! I really liked this guy and while he didn't win anything he did get a lot of good comments from people checking out the contest display case. That was a pretty tough contest-LOTS of good entries so I wouldn't beat yourself up too much. And I did the same thing on mine LOL! I didn't bring the highlights up quite enough. Oh well-there's always next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krztoff Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 Let me start by saying I like it. As for criticism: The bag on the left (his right) needs more contrast, as does the red cloth below his waist. Lastly, the eyes look a bit off to me. I think it's because if you look at someone, there really isn't that much white in people's eyes. Most of the eye that we see is the iris and pupil. I think the "dots" of pupil/iris are a bit small, but that's nitpicking. The bone and wood look really nice, and you have some good contrast on the skin. -Krztoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
