So, I have started creating the characters for my new game. And I want some feedback, this is the first "relatively completed" character I have (the others are just sketches) what could be improved? does anything strike you ass odd or wrong?


I am going to put some more work into the feet, and probablyÃ,  some more shadow detail on the coat.

Thanks.

Well, the first thing that strikes my ass wrong  (sorry -- couldn't resist) is that that it's not easy to tell what's going on with the character. There's a lot of ambiguity there.

First off, I assume that it either has shoulder length hair and a cape/ cloak kind of thing or that it's wearing a hooded cloak with the hood up. Still, I'm not sure. Adding some shade and highlights to the cloak, as well as some shading from the cloak to the face (if it is, in fact, a hood) might help.

I'm also not sure what that light coloured pixel near the eye is. And it's not easy to tell what that greyish thing around the collarbone area is. And what's going on with the lighter areas beside the neck?

Furthermore, it's not very easy to tell whether this is a male or female character. It's not a big deal, but your players may want to know and be able to tell more easily.

Finally, you might want to have a better consideration of the person underneat and how the cloak (or whatever) drapes off of them.
