good concept of a creature, but what do you mean by "tangents, jesus"?

[Yang Xiao Long VS Ruby Rose commission]

is that the moment right before a massive fart attack gets ignited by a firefist, leading to an epic double ko?

Photoshop can be very good for stuff like this if you have some good brushes and stuff. I remember getting these brushes from Daniel Peacock’s gumroad tutorial for a painting he did, but from what I understand it is part of max verehin’s brush set. If you have a few bucks to spare then it’s a very good investment. https://gumroad.com/l/eoqC

[Old Man Study]

really well done...i did some studies for old men a while ago for one of my paintings and old men are just amazing objects for study. each face ages differently..there is so much versatility that i stopped my studies and decided to just make shit up in the final painting because some old man somewhere on this planet propably looks exactly like that. xD i gotta say i would love to see some cool backgrounds to your studies. just saying

[Kubrick Study]

since i have no reference i can only tell by feeling. it looks fine to me. if i recall correctly then his eyes always had this unhealthy looking shadow.

[Tarantino Study]

colour dynamics relating to value? would you mind educating me bit on this? not really that much..just so that i can relate as to how this might help me get better with colours. maybe i have to make studies like this too to improve.
btw great work! looks a bit like an oil painting

shrimpyscallionz responds:

Color dynamics relating to value as in effectively choosing the hue, saturation, temperature of a color based on the value that it is used on. For example, if the general color scheme of my painting is a warm color like orange for this one, then I would increase the saturation as the value gets darker. I could also bump the color towards an even warmer color like red instead of just changing the saturation. This is effective in conveying color in the lighting and preventing the image from looking drab. I would recommend playing around with blending different colors together using something simple like a color wheel to know which colors go together. There’s really cool stuff you can do with temperature and hues to get interesting shading colors. I wouldn’t take myself too seriously though, as I’m not the expert on this. This is most of what I’ve learned so far. I agree that making studies is extremely useful, as you can do things like switch up the color temperature to challenge your knowledge on color theory by only basing your colors off of the reference’s values. Anyway, thanks for the compliment and I wish you good luck on your art related endeavors
