Description My entry for this weeks competition of Concept World [link] The topic is "Priest – A Spiritual Leader". Usually I do not take part of such competitions, but since I have been playing a priest in World of Warcraft for years I have a thing for them.

I imagine this guy not to be a warrior, although his gear looks that way. He is more of a missionary – one of the violent ones. You don't follow his god, you will lose your life by the hand of one of his followers.

Comments are appreciated as always!




About 6 hours, Photoshop CS4

Find ich lustig, weil ich im vergleich echt wenig zeit und aufwand hineingesteckt hab aber man wird halt doch immer besser wie es aussieht.

i wouldnt agree with the posture, stiff, not interesting in any way. Detail doesnt seem right too, doesnt stick, for example armors on elbow area.

Oh I know, don't worry. I am one of the rare kinds that like getting critiques. On this particular Illustration I do not care so much though, since I have done it really quickly for fun without worrying about perfection. So I know it is faaaaaaaaar away from being a good picture.

But I always like to hear what I am doing wrong so I don't accidentally do the same mistakes in Illustrations I actually want to do right.

Schaut echt gut aus! Das einzige was mich ein bisschen irritiert ist der Schatten seiner Waffen. Ich finde der sollte ein bisschen weicher sein, da der Abstand zum Boden ja relativ groß ist.
Anyway, great work!

huh, I see! You are correct – I must have spelled it wrong all the time o.O It just looks wrong with one "o" for me now.

It is just the one mistake that really bugs me so call me a hypocrite if you want .

I have competition.
This looks pretty sweet. I love the design and you rendered out the details pretty darn well! I'm still working my way up to produce better digitally colored work. Now I must check your gallery...

Ratique In reply to Lumaris [2010-08-21 11:03:20 +0000 UTC]

Nah I don't think I am much of a competition I am struggling very much with choosing the right colors myself, it is a very hard thing to do. Need to practice, practice, practice... >.<

Thank you for taking your time and looking through my gallery

Lumaris In reply to Ratique [2010-08-21 20:10:22 +0000 UTC]

I think your design and rendering skills are really impressive. Yeah...practice makes perfect~ though I think your color choices aren't so bad at all. (The eternal fight is one of my personal favorites from your gallery ) I struggle mostly with rendering technique (ie getting the right textures, how to make something NOT look plastic-y, etc...) and my horribly short patience.

No problem~

Good exercise too!

Yeah. This dude does look like a zealot who could whoop some ass. I like the expression on his face too! Kind of like an all knowing arrogance look. Is that collar around his neck just a part of his armor, or is it suppose to be one of the collars that priest wear?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Ratique In reply to TheWorldOnFire [2010-08-20 17:54:37 +0000 UTC]

Both! I find it cool that you saw that. It is supposed to be the collar a priest wears but not made out of cloth – It is metal like the rest of his armor.
