Reptilian Design: Female Finalby ~DSil

Designs & Interfaces / Game Development Art / 2D Game Art / Characters, Animals & Monsters

Final illustration for a female of a playable reptilian race I designed for an MMO (previous designs here: [link] [link] [link] [link] ).

Painting scales could be challenging but you've managed!
If you accept critique in comments I can share some general thoughts about this one

~DSil Mar 31, 2011 Student General Artist

Fo sho! I'll take any advice that will help me improve.

At first - even in such drawings the air perspective is needed. The more distant object - the less color saturation and tone. So you'll get the darkest - a shadow part of right elbow and the most colorless - the shield and a tail-tip. Just pull some blue in shadows and you'll get profit
Also there's a lack of definite cast shadows on the body from arm and mandibula, that equalize planes and makes figure flat
Hope, this helps you

Good point! I hadn't thought of using atmospheric perspective, but it looks like that would add a lot of depth. Thanks for the tip!

you're welcome!

Sweet! I like how you used a bunch of different colors.

~DSil Mar 4, 2011 Student General Artist

Thanks.

You're welcome.

To me, the thick torso and legs make her look like a guy in a suit. Is that what you're going for?

In any case, the texture and pose are really great, as are the club and shield.

Nope, just really beefy and, well, video-gamey. The design has to translate in a limited number of polygons, so the physical attributes are somewhat exaggerated for clarity.
