Japanese Dude

[Mahjix]

DONE! After a bunch of edits, I am finally satisfied with the end result. Thanks for all of the crits! Can you believe that I've posted this on dA and even conceptart.org and I didn't even get critique when I wanted it!

The final version have went through changes that includes: Adding more contrast to the skin, fixing the ears, adjusting the hair, removing the hair from the left eye, making the eyes smaller, editing the lips, redoing the hand COMPLETELY, removing button, and editing his chin just a tad. I never would have changed any of this had it not been for your comments: Thanks to all!

Re: Japanese Dude

I think his ears look a tad funky.

Re: Japanese Dude

check your light source the shadows look a bit made up. More contrast good over all

Re: Japanese Dude

Absolutely amazing!
The only thing I can see that could be changed is the butterfly. The design on its visible wing is slightly bumpy and kind of pixelated around the white patchs' edges.

Re: Japanese Dude

It looks like he only has 3 fingers. Looks like he's got no index finger, no thumb.

And they're held in an awkward position on top of that.

Re: Japanese Dude

The light source is front of him.
Pixelated butterfly wing is not in full resolution (I up-ed the sharpness when it shrunk to gain lost detail)
He's holding the butterflies wings in between his index and middle finger. I will add more indication of his index finger.

So nothing's wrong with his face? xDD
I used this for reference but I added a lot of my own elements to make it my own character.

Re: Japanese Dude

Oi, as mentioned fingers are freaky, the ears are very subtle, so they could either be more defined or hidden more.

To add on, the smiley patch doesn't seem to fit in to me, but that may just be me.

In before Souseiki.

*edit* ah...maybe something about the eyebrows. His right one seems to extend to far, if anything. Then the contrast between the two may be a bit much, his right is bold and black while the left is vaguely transparent and redish.

Re: Japanese Dude

Re: Japanese Dude

I didn't notice anything bad with it because I was to amazed at how good it looked.

[Mahjix]

Re: Japanese Dude

Alright, I added some changes including the finger, contrast, and ears. :}

Re: Japanese Dude

The idle fingers still sorta look like they're in an uncomfortable position...I had to strain to get my ring finger to bend exactly like that

Re: Japanese Dude

I actually posed my hand, took a picture and drew what I saw xDD No problems on this side. :}

Extend too far? The eyebrow extends beyond the edge of your eye. What do you mean?
Also, I'll take away the red from the left one.

EDIT2
Added v3

Re: Japanese Dude

I think it looks amazing, but the smiley face on his shirt is kinda dumb imo.
