all i'd say is the flesh tone is a bit too pink!

I wasn't sure what skin tone to use Ross any suggestions on that? There seemed to be only magenta not pink to use.

Very nice! I get what you mean about the flesh colour now, it looks just a little bit too purple.

But that's a fantastic first piece! Nice one!

I hope you don't mind me giving you a critique... the little segment underneath his knee should be floor coloured, not green. You can see the edge is actually the extension of one of the bar shadows.

I'd also be tempted to make the blue sky a lot darker, almost night and also make his uniform darker, like the green of his helmet. It's such a moody, oppressive piece I think it needs to be very dark.

I'd also make the puddle by the bones into a pool of blood! hehehe

Love the rat tail and dripping water, plus the different choices of browns for separate depth walls - that's definitely the way to do it.

Thanks the AF logo is a pain to colour especially for a novice like myself I tried to tidy it up.

Good job, IB. Try a more sandy colour for the skin, it'll look more natural. As far as the logo's go, yank one from the sticker sheets (or the website) and insert it, the res is much better.

If you're feeling bold, try selecting the layer beneath 'colour', set your brush to 'lighten' and you'll be able to change the colour of the original black line. That may sort the logo probelm.

I did it with the "Next week..." text and dialogue boxes on Sea Fury:

If I was to be really nitpicky, I'd do the floor as grey, to make it feel cold in his dungeon. The flesh is better, but a little too yellow. Try using 'FDAB5F'

Sorry if I sound critical, I'm just keen!

Want blood puddle!!
