ok…
a couple of days ago I’ve done this…
I know it needs some refining… but what?
CRITS, please…
Not bad for a beginner
seems too… straight, try folding it over, maybe?
better lighting, and better setting would make this cool. tone down the spec on the hat too.
I would add some big wrinkles with a cross-wise attitude somewhere near the middle. Typical perhaps, but it would be less plain. Could be a job for,…the kniiiife toooool. :Z
Update!
crits!
ok… ok… I forgot the alternative version
Looks alot better now that the spec is off,…though, if it were sitting in front of a fire like that, it would have an orangish yellowish glow around the edges, which you could do with colored lights.
Version 4!
one more…
Very nice. But maybe add an orange lamp/spot or something like that which shines on the hat etc a bit more (not just on floor)
Is the fire a texture or?
good luck
the fire is a picture I taken, I applied it to the “world”, then I deformed and translated it to fit that peculiar position you can see that pic on my site http://www.jester71.com
I’m working on the lights… later today you’ll see the final version… I think I’ll post it as a finished work…
Thanks a lot and Happy blending!
