Week 8 - Rajdeep Sketches Update

I picked the fourth one of my thumbs and refined it to this. I want to make a Silmarillion fan art piece. Its when an elf called Glorfindel battles a Balrog (like Gandalf in the movie). I tried to make it wider and shift the Elf to the left and make him smaller to accomodate the sword. But now i feel I am losing the dynamic ness of the first sketch (where he was immediately above him). Also, the whip is the Balrog's hand is creating all sorts of tangents whith the Elf.

I am struggling with the depth of the central character of this one. I will try to bring him much closer.

3

This one is my favorite because it looks so comic book-y but I don't know whether we can do 3 standing characters

I think I like the 4th one the most, but it will be a pain in the ass to paint.

Week 6 - Rajdeep Choudhury

Week 5 - Rajdeep Choudhury

Its about this carefree Chinese dude who goes to this legendary Chinese cooking school (kind of like the Shaolin Temple of cooking) and gets trained by a Sensei-chef. Its called 'Xuéshēng' which means student.

4th one:



Inspired by the karate kid poster

Week 4 - Rajdeep Choudhury

The colour one wasnt working out. So I did a b/w one. 

Week 4 - Rajdeep Choudhury Sketches

Sketches:



In some of the angles, I am having difficulty expressing the fact that that's her own head and not another that she has cut off. 

Week 3 - Rajdeep Choudhury

I wanted to work a bit more on the creature, add some jewels to it. But I am late already, so yeah. Also, I thought it might be cool to add some skeletons here and there, former dead warriors.



This was my inspiration (Oedipus and the Sphinx by François-Xavier Fabre)

Tried to fix some values

Week 2 - Rajdeep WIP Sketches

Its more of a desert-rocky landscape behind. And the vehicle/look is majorly inspired by Mad max. Kind of post-apocalyptic. But I am still trying to figure out ways to integrate the driver and the car with common design elements.

Week 1 - Rajdeep Choudhury

I wanted to work more on the clothes and add flying books but ran out of time

Week 01 Feedback for Rajdeep BW Sketch

Week 01 Feedback for Rajdeep, Black and white WIP

Hey Rajdeep,

Not much to say here. Pretty solid.

Values seem to work.

-Make sure we can read the props, right now the ones on the left seem to fade out and merge with the rest of the image.

-I can see you used refs for the apprentice and that's why it is believable. Compared to the master behind that doesnt work because it is done without references. Make sure you take a picture to see how hands work when resting on a shoulder.

-The design of the apprentice is too bland though. His clothing needs more work, since you seem to have some indian or south east asian props in the picture, well guess how the costume should be ? 

-His head should be more interesting, add tattoos if you are going for the bald look. Tattoos shoul dbe the same culture and design of the props and costume.

I rechecked this and added more feedback. Actually your values could pop more: 

-More contrast on face and hand area.
-I changed the values of the props as suggested and add darker values on BG.
-Check the set up of  the props on the left, if you change it and create overlap and enlarge the grinding bowl, it becomes more interesting.

I'll explain tomorrow, one on one.

COntinue with the final image,

Week 1 - Rajdeep Choudhury

Still undecided about whether to put the Sorcerer behind him with hand on shoulder.
