Iron Man

[HappyHobo]

This is the product of about 5 hours of work.(i was really bored) I was listening to music and i got an idea. It would be lovely if you guys could help me improve the iron man. I know that the torch is a bit dodgy but i needed a lightsource. It's a bit distorted because I used DPaint. 17 colors.

try using the light to your advantage, the light will define the form and he looks rounded but the light doesn't help that so much, look at real life rounded objects and how light plays off of them, then also add highlights so the metal appears shiny. Also on the ridges add highlights so that they appear more 3d, here is a rather poor example of what i mean



keep it up, you'll get faster as you go.

also i think darker darks would work well but the most important thing maybe looking at metal and seeing how light reflects and bounces and kepangs off of it

good luck

If this guy is supposed to have an iron shell, I would love to see some rivets or other indicators of his metallic origin aside from just using a grey color.

I do like the character design (especially the oversized feet).
