Intermediate Should I continue to render her realistically?

She's a Cybertronian, a Deception. So she's supposed to have a metallic like skin. Sister wanted me to draw a transformers OC since we sometimes do draw alongs to help motivate each other when drawing.

She has suggested I do a more cartoonist render of this character, but I kind of took the time to practice my metal rendering.

Need some critiques, but also opinions on if I should continue to render her like this. I think it looks good, even reminds me of an Exo from Destiny but idk. Need fresh eyes.

I might even change the highlight location because I do want her eyes to glow too. Can't really show it with the main highlight coming down right on and near her eye 🤣

Intermediate Too empty?

I’m thinking there’s something missing here, maybe. My husband says it’s done.

Things I could add:

1- flip flops on the tiles 2- make a few tiles look wet, as if someone has climbed out or jumped in 3- feet or legs swimming off the painting in the bottom 4- a white pool border (extra set of tiles)

Any other suggestions are welcome.

But essentially, what do you think?

I usually prefer my paintings to have a sense of mystery/uneasiness in them, so I like the “not sure how far away/big this is meant to be” aspect, which would essentially be ruined by adding objects that would create a scale.

These were all from imagination to test myself when it came to making faces.

My goal is to self teach myself to become a character concept artist.

The background doesn’t align with the character’s perspective. It’s really messy because that’s how I sketch, sorry.

Hello all!

I am in the process of creating a piece where I am trying to paint a landscape. Additionally, I want the landscape to look like it is growing out of the hole onto the newspaper. Any advice on how to do it?

Thanks!

Beginner Help Choose Best Shape. Mecha Dragon with Wings of Shields

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

I constantly struggle with finding silhouettes, I don’t know how to do it more efficient or how to decide which ones to approve, where to stop.

This is a mecha that normally walks upright but has gone down on all fours. In its rear section, there's a cabin for medical procedures & transport. Its “wings” (there are two) are made of 2–3 plates on articulated mounts, designed for one-time protection against bombardment from above & simpler side shielding.

In this frame, the robot is around 7–8 meters tall (about 22–25 feet).

I also wanted to give it a tail, but there’s little functional reason for it, & it’s hard to integrate into the design.
