Warrior/cleric - WIP

Oh man! This has been a very fun commission! This is for a human warrior with his dwarven cleric bot. The pose was my idea hehe I still need to work more on the lighting as well as draw in the straps for the eyepatch (he didn't like how the strap went up and down at a diagonal instead of side to side). I also still need to add in the swords on his back. However, I am having a very difficult time with the lighting. When I try to render with more than 1 light with shadows turned on, my rendering stops :( So I'm trying to figure out a way to set it up to get the shadows I want from just 1 light source. I think I also need to turn down some of the reflection and highlight on the cleric's shield. It's just too bright.

This render has no postwork on it.

Hehe Cute poses, I totaly love the dwarfs facial expression - priceless~!
The shield blinded me at first but i know you are still working on lights/shadows. ;)

I like the poses but the expressions seem too exaggerated. That's the one thing about poser that I can't stand, how fake the expressions can be. I'd soften both the elf's smile and really soften the dorf's. It's almost distracting.

Did you delete all the lights and start from scratch? That's what I end up doing almost all the time. I know you're working on it so I"ll wait to see the next step. =) :thumbsup

Ok so I ended up changing the background in order to get the lights a little closer LOL

Only thing I would comment on is you have to really look to see his arm is resting on the dwarf's head which is my favorite part of the pose ;)

yeah , true about the arm part. Maybe add some highlights or reflective surface since it is metal , .. maybe =X

Here's the completed magelo that the client approved. I'm still not sure what to do about the point where the arm meets the head. Ok, I'm scared to tweak it too much cause this image really stresses out my pc LOL
