He Awaits at the top (Rendered Version)

Artist's Remarks:

Here is the rendered version of the original piece that I did earlier! I used markers, colored pencils, and white paint. This is my drawing of Shao Kahn from MK II's arcade ladder, but with some of my ideas mixed in with the classic look. I added some bone growths to his jawline and elbows to give him more of a brutal look along with a cape to give the pose a dynamic feeling. ***Please comment if you rate!

The colored version looks good, as expected since I liked the lineart version...though I wonder if your coloring style doesn't blur a little bit of the detail, 'cause for example the bone "beard" looks a lot more like just plain hair now...

I see what you mean, I should have kept little color in that area, because I never noticed the lines in the jaw spikes until I looked at it zoomed in. I need to work on my blending more with colored pencils, but I seem to get unwanted streaks that I'm not sure how to prevent when coloring.

I dunno, I'd chalk it up to an inherent flaw in the medium. All physical coloring methods have a messy or streaky element, that's why I color with the computer.

Granted that Photoshop's a complicated program to learn, I was lucky enough to take actual high school and college courses in it....
