itty bitty head committie

Heavy weapons guy.

Nice! Better than I can do at present.

Great study!

Looks like he has a small brain...

There's a Chinese saying "heavy builders do easy thinking"

Nice work. The textures, anatomy, and lighting are really well done. A little disappointed at the negativity of some of these other comments, but I guess it's to be expected. Great work, regardless. :)

I didn't really view that as negative, just an observation they view as interesting.

The small head thing is an intentional exaggerated human proportion, to make a person look super huge, this method is commonly seen in comic books and video games. (ex: Gears of War, Team Fortress, and etc).

It is interesting to me people didn't point out that he have humanly impossibly thick wrist, or he has tiny oblique when comparing to his abdomens.

Maybe it's because how the picture is rendered that make certain exaggerated aspect stand out, or because other parts aren't exaggerated enough.

Yeah, I just think there are better ways to critique a piece than with snarky one-liners. ;) I've seen the small head exaggeration in a lot of those same places you mentioned, as well as in a fair bit of kemono art on sites like PixIV. As you said, it's a pretty widespread stylization of the human form. You did a very good job with it. :)

how do you do your texturing ? painting it in or an overlay ?

Both!
For the chromatic noise, I did a noise overlay with two passes, so it is more obvious in dark areas, just like how a low end camera will react with low light area.
For the brushstroke, it is purely painted brushstrokes .

very cleaver thank you :] i will remember that as i normally used overlays and textures i make myself. time consuming but can make cool images with it

What a beef. He doesnt have a small head, he has a gigantic body <3 Good work man, the muscles are very believable. I'd watch out for the wrists if you do another one, it may have been in the 3d model you worked from but they're kind of trunk-like and inflexible looking.

Wow you did noticed the wrists, observant!
Yeah, I basically just copied the reference forms.
I will watch that out and make sure my wrists are believable.

hahah sorry ^.^' Yeah those models often have weird shapes.

No need to be sorry, bro.

Or sis... I hate gender specific pronouns, we don't have this bullshit in Chinese.

like kratos's cousin?
