[Art] ToriTribe Signature ~Vector
Working on a 500x200 signature for myself or one of my fellow members, don't know yet. Either ways... Here it is.

WIP 1



wip 2




wip 3



Current version: In original size for easier evaluation.





Stuff I plan to fix/do:

* Work with the masks colors, they're annoying.
* Fix the spearhead
* Work with some kind of BG or keep it minimalistic?
* Decorations, feathers, sticks, bone(?) etc.
* Fix the shading on the tori, spear and mask. --> Light source > Top right corner.
* Make the "paint" blood.
* Eye cavities, depth.
* Darker grass.

Software used: Adobe Illustrator.

Be consistent in your shading, the lighting is all over the place and some parts are way more shaded than the rest.
The shading on the mask and the spear are quite horrid, to be honest.

The pose is nice and the shading on the body is decent but be consistent.
First draw everything and shade everything after, be sure to have a lightsource or sources in mind.

I'm an artist.
make the purple paint turn into blood please. not red paint. blood.

always work the bg, either make blurred trees or sky or those fragile houses with torches and stuff

i suggest you to fix the cavities for the eyes in the mask
Holy hell this is beautiful!

Only advice I can give you to make it better is make the grass a tad darker so it looks a little more life like.

Great work can't wait to see this finished!

Some more texture in the rope would be cool. They just look like brown lines. Other than that, it looks great. Also, a village in the background seems good.

the only thing bugging me is that hat
it's tilted in the wrong direction

or just don't tilt it at all okie dokie
don't talk to me or my dudes ever again
Like everyone else has mentioned, your shading is really inconsistent and awful at times,
try to keep a consistent light source.
Also, the thorn rope(?) on his right arm seems pretty random to me and really out of place.
It doesn't look like something a tribal colonist would wear.
The past makes you wanna die out of regret, and future makes you depressed out of anxiety. So by elimination, the present is likely the happiest time.
Thanks for the awesome feedback guys!! ^^

Alpha: I know the shading is all over the place, It's so easy to edit so that will be done in the end. Everything except the joints are in fact shaded like they were in game, I just used different shades of the same grey. The color and shading on the spear and mask is horrid, it's not something I'm trying to hide. As I wrote, I'll fix that ;) The lightsource I have in mind comes from where the spearpoint suggests. Thanks!

Pal: Yea I know, hehe. The masks holes/cavities look really flat, will fix that. I like the ideas of tribal houses/blurred trees, will look into that. But I think it might ruin it, clusterfucking everything... Will have to test.

Goughy: Thanks! Yea, the grass could use some darker color. I'll look into it.

Irrita: I'm not too sure about such detail. I might give it a try, but try to see this. The image is zoomed in like 1000% (I really don't know, will have to check for the exact number) and very small details won't be visible. The original size is 500x200 pixels.

Hobo: Can't say I agree. I want to make it look like he's pulling the force, look at the tori's body and head, it looks like he/she/it really is struggling to pull force in some kind of punch, as if throwing something. It gives a feel of movement, he's coming through the grass to rape you...

Pirate: Aware of the shading, thanks. About the thorns, I really didn't get my inspiration from the thought of a human tribe member. I thought of the tori without skin/feels, so that thorns really could be thrown around the arm.

I'll add something...

First of all, I think the idea it's pretty good, I like it. Like most people said, there's stuff you need to fix, but they were already mentioned and I don't want to repeat them. However, I do want to address the perspective in this picture. I think that the force you wanted to achieve wasn't projected correctly, If you look into the picture, the back hand needs to be way back than the hand in front to show the gesture as you wanted. Well, that's all I needed to add, I expect to see the final result soon.


I forgot to ask, what kind of vectorizing program do you use?
Don't answer, I just saw what program.






I made this example:
(Sorry if I needed to ask first to edit the image)
