[WIP] Warlord head texture.


My first attempt with a 512x texture, the overall design is finished and I'm pretty satisfied with the expression of the guy, now I have to add details to the helmet and make serious shading.

C&C?

Totally right ^^
I will edit eyes and teeth, atm it's all mirrored because I'm still wondering what to do, I'll probably try to add a scar and a couple of golden theet.

Also, I have no idea on how to shade, the only thing i know i pixel art, so I'll just imitate fawflaw's technique and make pixel shading.. hopefully..

Shaded a bit, all colors chosen one by one, all single pixels placed one by one. If I countinue like that I'll finish this head in a year.
I'm still not sure about that hammer in the middle, maybe I'll remove it, and I still have to finish the eyes, the eyebrows and the shading on the nose.
However... Do you like this style?

But I think the shading is a bit to red.
Try a bit more brownish tint ;)
I hope you made all the shadings on different layers!!
Simple color overlay will do the trick ;D

Hammer could be cool if it's a bit more transparent.
I love the symbols.

...layers?.. ehm.. no, I used only 1 layer, however I think i can change the tint without getting mad.

@weddark: è un wip, il casco l'ho appena cominciato, quando avrò finito sarà pieno di dettagli ^^

The hammer comes from Manowar's sign of the hammer music album, the sword is a celtic sword i found on deviantart, i just remade both on the head, the designs are pretty simple.

I may remove stuff at the end if i find that the head is too detailed.

Also for a bit more evil C&C please remove that symbol on the back, it really doesn't fit in my opinion and you could do something so much better there.

Done, at least the central part of the back of the head, now I have to finish the details on the helmet, edit a bit the mouth and the beard and this will be finished.

I'd like some comments on the chains, especially about shape and shading.
