Yes, it was mostly dodge and burn, but not entirely, in some cases I just airbrushed the color on because it wasn't going where I wanted. Certainly couldn't with the hand for one thing, it turns orange when you burn, which is no good. As it is it looks a little scarred or something, but.
I couldn't decide how to shade the lower half, and I was having toruble how to make it seem like he was leaning over, that's about when I quit. Any suggestions on how you think it would be shaded, legs straight?
Yeah, I hadn't thought of removing the neck, that's a good point. I should really try and think these things through a little more.
Thanks for commenting. ^_^
Looking good, Janus! I dig the shading on his clothes (dodge & burn?) -- it would look even better if you shaded his bottom half as well. Cool face from what I can tell, but it's kinda hard to see. You did well with (another) difficult pose -- one thing that would make him look more like he was kneeling over would be to shorten or even eliminate his neck. I like the contrast between the background and figure -- it creates an odd mood that I can't quite place. Keep it up ^_^
