The Prince's Decision

[Omni_VII]

Spoilers for Prince of Persia...

So, I'm back after a massive hiatus. I really felt like drawing something after playing Prince of Persia, so this is what I came up with. I haven't drawn much in a while, so I'm kinda rusty. ^^

Not bad; it lacks a lot of depth, though, but other than that it looks pretty good.
You should try drawing a few of the Corrupted.

 

[Omni_VII]

What do you mean by depth?

And haha, the Corrupted would be pretty hard to draw I'd imagine. xD;;

 

[Ordeith]

To be frank, it just seems flat, as though the Prince and Elika were paper cut-outs on a flat backdrop.
And aside from the tendrils of corruption, I wouldn't consider the Corrupted too difficult to draw, except for the Alchemist, I suppose.
I would start with the Concubine; she seems to have the most definite shape of the four.

 

[Omni_VII]

Oh yeah, I see where you're coming from. Any idea how I could make it look less flat?

 

[Ordeith]

Sorry, I don't have the slightest idea; art isn't my strongest point. I suggest asking some of the more frequent posters in this forum, like ProperArtist. He knows what he's doing.

 

[Omni_VII]

lol, alright. Thanks, anyway.

ProperArtist is cool

You know, I think I know what was wrong. I didn't put any of Elika's shadow on the Prince's body. I might fix it later.

^That would do it.

In order to make it less flat, you need to add shadows like..everywhere. Right now the lighting is very flat. Determine a point from the light to come from and go from there. Once you've added some shading and modeling, like really strong shading and modeling, you'll be good. You want a full range too, the darkest darks to the lightest lights, right now it's all about midtones.

Other is good though, although the Prince's face seems a little...odd for the expression, is he supposed to be sad? He looks angry.

 

[Omni_VII]

Yeah, he's supposed to look angry. You should understand if you've seen the ending of PoP.
Thanks for the advice, though.

 

[Omni_VII]

Hope it's okay to double post. I've tried to add some more shadows to the picture. Link is the same as before.

u also might want to try putting more detail into the clothing sometimes that helps
