About 5000 posts ago or something I posted a superhero, and for the 0,1% of the users of this forum who maybe remember what it looked like, here's another pose. It's supposed to be a little more shiny, and actually - a lot smaller in size. Here's both lineart and coloring

I look forward for some constructive critics.

very nice kjetil !
I really liked the other one too. The cape looks better on this one. But, in some way I really liked how you got that metal shading to look on his body of that other one.
But, both very nice work

come by the office some day

Hi Joachim,
Thanks man. I'll make metal shadings on this one too, but I worked a little too quick I guess

I have some time this week, maybe I can drop by this week? I miss a plug-in on my Max, also I'll have to try make Michael learn me some more Max stuff...

Vi snakkes!

God I love the way you shade the upper body. This time the biceps are not quite as good as they were in the last pic though :).
Anyway, the expression is great.

hi Kjetil

this one is really cool, but i prefered the other one's pose .. maybe it was more dynamic and funny . It looked like on this funny cartoons where the hero claims for victory and then is suddenly hit with a giant anvil

Great job with the painting, you have a pretty unique style of being able to use bright colors, and actually play them off into a good looking color scheme for a character.. A lot of people don't use bright colors for their chars, they usually have a matrix-ish dark kinda mood.. But not you..Reall good job man..

Can you go a little into how you painted him? Did you use only paintbrush? airbrush? what opacity did you use? stuff like that..

Kjetil. i liked the first one(the first superhero that you posted) really good,
but this one seems less dynamic and less exagerated in a way. You could maybe make the whole pose less compact and make his legs longer. It has nothing to do with the proportons or anything. Just more exagerating.
Just my taste though..

Bubonic: Thanks alot, but there are quite a huge bunch of guys in this that are a lot better than I am at digital art and can give you much better answers... To tell you the truth, I just started with digital drawing. Anyway... For this technique, I start with one color, filling the character, then pick out a darker color to fill in shadows. I do this very roughly. Then I fill in highlights, and more steps of darker or lighter. Then I smugde between. Simple as that. But if you work with transparent brushes, a whole new world opens...
Toast and Micke, I agree that the other guy had a more dynamic pose. I'll use this on my website which is hopefully up in a few days, if nothing comes in between. (Like a job or something..)
