Well, this looks awesome ! I hope it will come out fine.

And I like the symbol :)

Glad you enjoy it.

I'm planning on the symbol being my logo/signature, and I'll probably make a cleaned up version to put on future things. Though it was unintentional when I first made it, it seems to be a bit of a play on a pentagram.

It looks more as a derivation of V for Vendetta logo. Another reason why I like it.

Its what I originally tried to make the V look like.
I've always enjoyed that movie.

My favorite movie too :)

I envy the type ofshading you got going on here. I can't make anything work without making it overly dark.

One thing I wanna point out, though: Be sure to smudge your shadings (probably at around 50%). They will look much more realistic, though...you may have to dive into the darker colors to make it work completely.

I apologize if I'm telling you something you already know.

Aside from this: The horns and little platings on the face look positively awesome.

Any advice is appreciated, as I am still completely new to photoshop. I only know how to "properly" use less then half of the tools, and barely any of the other specialized effects.
As for the shading, I made two extra layers for each primary layer (Skin color, Horns & scale color, etc) , one for shading, the other for lighting, as I found that messing up with just one layer for each resulted in completely ruining the coloration in that area compared to everything around it. It takes allot of tweaking and very minor manipulation of the color levels.

Yes, the differing layers. I forgot about that, yet I do it for everyone one of my pictures. Somehow, though, I manage to put shadings and highlights on layers htey're not supposed to be, especially with files that require upwards of fifty layers. Always be sure to check it when it starts getting messy, cause that twenty-undoable-actions limit can get frustrating.

Also, should you wish to make the horns, skin, etc. look a bit girttier, you could apply draker shading near the outsides, copy the base color, shading, and highlight (lighting) layers, merge them together and apply a texture through the fitlers. ( Filter > Texturizer > go from there). You'll have to experiment with it a bit to get a texture that isn't to harsh so that it blends in with the shading and looks natural. Be sure to mess with Blend Modes for layers as well.

If you want a more haunting/mysterious tone, or are dealing with thick lines, go for dark shading. I do that automatically with even relaxed pictures, but it works well for them too. Should you want to go with that, adjusting your brush (color likely black) to opacity at 5%, then increase it by five percent (up to about 35%) each time you run it over previous strokes; it should look really nice. Even more so after smudging and blurring, of course.

With lighting...a brush set to about 2% (for underlying light) or 5% (for definite dots) opacity should be good, unless you're a fan of brights sparkles.

There's a bit of stuff you can try out. Hope it's not vague or redundant.

Looks beatable. I just hope I can still give him a black eye since he has those ridges around it.

Oh I can still bruise, it just takes a little extra effort. My teeth and horns grow back as well, so don't worry about accidentally messing up my handsome features.

After I'm through with you, you better hope some other parts grow back as well.

Its alright, even if you do manage to beat me, my ego wont be too hurt.
Though if you want I'll try to go easy on yours if its the other way around.

Fuckin' awesome dude.
Neat anarchist- verted symbol.

Its a mix between the V for Vendetta symbol, a Pentagram, and an inverted Anarchy symbol.
VZ. It works for me.

Awesome.
Great movie, wonder if that's what the future really holds?

beautiful job on this man

Much appreciated.

no prob

Did the 2000 Godzilla movie have any part in this? I swear he looks just like him from the side...or at least one of his babies.

Its the jaw line.
