Description
Ok... I couldn't stand looking at that realism of Kouga I did anymore... so I redid parts of it. Thank goodness I saved multiple PSD files!!I changed:
His hair. I tried to make it look more hairlike and less... stupid.
The blue highlights. I think they looked stupid.
His left arm. It was too skinny and bent all funny.
IHis lower torso... people kept saying he looked completely naked and like he was peeing or something. That wasn't my intention so I put his fur wrap on.
The BG, I just used a red circle instead of that stupid blue picture.
His nipples. They looked like a foreign material glued on. Probably because I did them on their own layer... so here, I drew them on the skin layer and blended them in.
His cheek. It was way too angular, so I softened it.
The original pic can still be seen here --> [link]

The hair looks much nicer now :3 . I think that's the only thing that really bothered me with it before, it just didn't fit right. Now it's a nice fit and the BG looks better as well. Good job Zen. ^^

Yes, it blends together smoothly. I like it. There's something a little odd about the eyes, but other than that it looks great!

Yeah, I still have to learn to do eyes properly. I did find a cool tutorial, but I didn't want to try it on this picture since I was already editing a lot. I will attempt it on my next picture in the series though... Miroku!

Ah, very cool. I'll definatly look forward to seeing the next one then ^^ As it is, I know one of my friends would be thrilled to see this one. It really is very nicely done.

I do like Kouga, but... Kouga is more wolf like then human like, and well this kouga is more model human like. I'm sorry.

Have you ever seen the anime? :stare: The only thing remotely wolfy about him is the tail and fur... and it isn't even supposed to be real. It is just clothes. :rollseyes: He looks exactly as I want him to.

for my defense, yes I've seen every episode. I'm not saying I don't like it. Just I think he looks a little older and not so playful as in the anime

Yes, his face looks great with the cheek fixed, and his hair is matching the style of the rest of him much more... smoothly?
I think the simpler background is working more for him too. The only thing that still looks kinda weird is his right elbow, I think it needs more definition, there's usually more curve and slight bump from the bone when the arm is bent like that.

Thanks for the comments Vollys! Yeah, that elbow bugs me a bit too. I will look at more pics of elbows next time. ^__^
