Description

Yes, Ziti drew a naked man again. Just couldn't restist. :giggle:
Honestly though, as much as I enjoy the sight of some well-defined abs, I really only just wanted to show off that tattoo, after I went through so much pain drawing it. I love how it turned out, though ironically, Deall grew to hate it almost immediately after he got it. No need to pity him, though, it's a magical tattoo that enhances his strength, speed and control over his left side. Pretty sweet deal for a right-handed swordsman, if you ask me. :P

Deall is my OC. He's from my and :iconstarscreamnemesis:'s original RPG.

Hi there from ProjectComment!
If you allow I would like to write a critique on this picture. The composition works out quite well and perspective is executed correctly. I have no big complaints about the anatomy in general. This male character has a strong feminine touch, but I guess that is highly intented. The only thing that you might reconsider is that his head is a tad too big in my opinion (that's a mistake I'm doing all over again, too :D ). The skin tones are good, the slight yellowish hue indicates that he is of Asian ancestry, am I right? Also the almond eyes would underline this. What botheres me a little, is the tattoo. Not quite the design itself, the problem is that you can clearly see that you have added it via "multiply layer" - this is apparent when you look at his nipple. No one tattoos over one's nipple, except they are into feeling A HELL LOT of pain. That being said, I think you should experiment with the tattoo layer and check photographs as a reference. Now let's talk about the background. The fabric foldings on the bed look smooth and soft. But I need to tell you that I have spotted an error in the perspective: The edge of the window's lower ledge is hidden, but it should be visible. Considering the walls, the wooden ledges look too smooth in my opinion, not like wood, more like shiny metal. You should add a little hint of texture to achieve this effect. In general, you should push the light/shadow values to the limits. Make the shadows dark and the lights really bright. If you use photoshop, check the tonal value histogram and make a correction, if appropriate. Maybe adding a second light source located in the bottom right corner would be a nice addition. All this being said, you have great picture. I just want to give you some advice to fully explore the potential that it has. Keep it up!
