What do you mean saggy?
Is this Prince of Persia fan art?
Oh okay. Now I know what it means. ;-)
Yeah, it's because he has an oversized shirt and pants, just like in the first game.
@Kewop: Yes it is.
It should be more like this (forgive the crappy quick Photoshop draw-over):
Oh, alright, I see what you mean. Yeah, now I see it. I'll fix it in my next update, but I don't want to fully expose his shoulder so that is seems like his shoulders are going backwards and lower.
Thanks.
Thanks man. Well, he's taking a big breath of air and then screams his lungs out. So his thorax is pumped full and his upper body is more forward. Plus, the left side, the light Prince, has a shirt and a plate which obstructs his skim compared to the bare-chested Dark one.
Here's a quick thing I did. I took the crit someone gave me about the 'Head & Crotch' thing and changed the position and added something else. I wanted to find a way to make a fourth version of the Prince. Him as the new ruler of Babylon. The pose ISN'T the one I'm gonna be using, it's just a quick placeholder.
Tell me what you guys think!
I wanted to go with a sort of darkly lit background with various brush strokes. Not sure about the colors though. With a swirling sand effect surrounding the base of the characters.
Dunno about the placement of them....perhaps you have any non-boring ideas? ;-)
Your composition troubles are basically coming from the fact that what you say you want to do and what you're doing are different things. You're saying that you want to represent this transformation this dude is going through. What you're doing is presenting four seperate pictures when if fact you intend to only do one.
You're taking all the elements you have to work with and spreading them out across the picture plane (which can work, but rarely and not in this case).
My suggestion is to take these starting sketches and treat them as pieces to a puzzle. Try to fit them together to form one coherent picture. Mesh them together so they act as a sandwich rather than just fixings. Try to make them speak to each other.
An example:
Granted it would have been better if I could put this delicious apple sauce down, but I'm not here to do your work, damnit!
Keep in mind the background textures you want when you start to rebuild the piece. Try to create a path for our eyes to travel. Make sure we jump to the first iteration of this dude. Make it clear he's first and the rest follow as they should.
Noted! Thanks a lot Iceberg!
@TUBE: Mucho thanks! I'll work it out.
Here's a little update with some minor changes I made late last night...
Updates look good, where I can spot them.
I added the 'King of Persia' image I wanted. As always, this is just a sketch. It was to get what the whole thing should look like.
Tell me what you guys think!
Can you add some clue as to what the background will end up? The background is as important to flesh out as any other component of your composition.
It's looking to be a great piece.
I'm still not sure for the background, so, for the time being, I'm gonna continue with the line work. I was thinking of some dark colors for the middle and even darker colors for the bottom to make the glowing effects stick out more. For the top, I'm looking for something bright, like a well-lit sky as to create some neat light effects around the head. Mainly on his crown and the back of his head and neck.
And if it wasn't the message then forgive me. I don't know PoP story after Sands of Time.
Really? Which one?
