[SupremePain]

Hi all... im designing a superhero for a presentation im doing in class. Im also doing a model of him in Super Sculpey which ill post some pics of if i can get my hands on a proper digi-cam. I might not be TDE but i try he's somehting to live up to... anywho i call this fellow Fist of Freedom, lol

Hes still a WIP but we're going places....

This is the initial sketch.

Im using Photoshop for this one, and my tablet (not a wacom )

maybe green and purple ?

yeah you have a point, but that's what im going for the classic superhero look... besides im too lazy to change anything at this point since i already layed out the color scheme

hehe oke
remember that he needs somekind of logo

just noticed that there seems to be a 60 year old man behind the mask, if you look at the smile

 

[SupremePain]

oh yeah! lol luckily i know what i can do to make him look less old.... anywho, i have no idea what to give him as a logo..... pooper scoopers

 

[Garfield_]

a logo on the head, the part that covers his eyes, a cool logo would fit there. This guy looks pretty strong so maybe something that fits to that

and give him a name, else he is nobody :/

The 3 brightest colours (the primary colours) are used mostly in superheros - Red, Yellow and Blue.

Started optimizing the colors, giving it some more dimension etc. I was gonna take your advice garfield, but i decided that im gonna do a belt where it would be on the buckle. That way i have more room and such

hows he looking? crit away!

by the way does he look younger now?

[SupremePain]

Hehe, still 60 year old man

 

[SupremePain]

aww so shit that i need tuts? thats ****ing bad only flaw i personaly see though is that i have a habbit of making it look plastic'ish...

but what's so bad otherwise? :O i see it's my basic technique in digital art that's bad. I don't wanna do this thing all over again.

What can i do to make it better? (by the way im not done with it, still loads of shading i need to do) and how can i make him look younger?

Please try and help me out by giving me some feedback/critiques/comments!

Get a big massive 600px white brush and drag it over it repeatedly until it is no longer in view

(jk man )
Erase the mouth and start again, apart from that, looking good

 

[SupremePain]

Latest update, i think my only prob is the face now, i reduced the plasticness of the mask a bit, thinks it look tons better.... whatcha think?

that face is still nagging me... anyone have any ideas?

 

[SupremePain]

ugh! done.... still a few things i would fix (that black outlining i started doing that basicly should be burnt in hell, the head size, the thing on his right hand, his left hands fingers, face etc.), but im too ****ing lazy! im pretty happy with the outcome

cheers! :cheers: and ill post up some pics of that super sculpey figure if i can get my little greedy hands on a digital camara!

looking good, and there is no old man anymore

An old man can be a superhero, y'know. It's the spirit that makes people heroes
