Mecha Mega Robot update almost done!

Mecha Mega Robot update almost done!

Here is the 4th of the Mecha MEGA Robot visual character concept art process UPDATE (there are previously posted of part 1: Mecha Robot step by step drawing, part2 Painting Mech process tutorial and part 3 Giant Robot drawing and painting process). I try as much as I can to finish it up this weekend but unfortunately...I can only find a few hours to play with it. I amped up the Machine gun, changed and tweak the design a little bit on the bottome half. It's been a really fun session creating mech since I haven't really done a full launched Mecha in a long while. A few more painted session then I think I will call it done.

ART tips: Talent is often overrated, and often deceive you. Whether you have it or not, forget that it's there. Practice, practice, and practice is only one sure way I know will make me the better artist.

The Mega Mech is almost there
Here are step by step recap

turned out better than i could imagine xia! i love the design, especially the mechas helmet.

Question for the blog! I've been looking at the artist Glenn Rane who did a lot of the world of warcraft art ( http://www.sonsofthestorm.com/viewer.php?artist=raneman&cat=warcraft&art=28 ) I love the soft shading he has everywhere on the armour, I'm wondering if anyone knows how he achieves this effect. I know a soft brush, but generally I have to make my brush HUGE before it does that really gentle layer of tone. I see this style quite a lot and really want to learn more about it. Just wondering what his method could be if anyone could take a guess!

Thanks.

How did I skip this?

Pokepetter> thanks brother!

Snow> Yeah, he has awesome work! Did you look at Matt Dixon tutorial? That might give you some clue. Here: http://www.mattdixon.co.uk/Forum/Waaaargh_WIP_strip.jpg
The lighting are similar I thought. Then you could just smooth things out using blending and/or soft brushes to clean up.
