Design aside (I like my protagonists vanilla lol), is there anything that's not reading with the poses or the renders?

Thanks for looking

I think all of the action translates.

They mentioned one of the questions they ask while judging is “where is this character from?” That’s probably the biggest thing missing here. I see knight, but I don’t have much more info than that.

The poses are clear, though. I think this looks great.

@Kevintreaccar Thanks for your feedback and I can see that he has no markings of place. Perhaps a tunic from house puppy would make a stronger design.

[KevinTreaccar]

@Matthew-Oberdier Very true. I could see your character spinning into both a medieval adventure as well as a Where the Wild Things Are home-to-faraway land adventure.

The poses look great to me! I would say that it does look very blurry, rendering wise. That can happen really easily with digital work, and sometimes the blurriness is even more apparent when you take it to print. You could sharpen up some edges manually or even put a subtle sharpness filter over it. Just something to keep in mind!

@TessaW I agree with @TessaW ... on my screen the image does not look very crisp and comes across a little blurry.

[Matthew Oberdier]

@TessaW @K-Flagg I went over every inch of this thing with a sharp brush. Man, that took a long time. I don't think I ever rendered anything to this level of detail, so this is like new territory for me

@Matthew-Oberdier

It made a big difference!!!

@TessaW thanks! I just wish I could do it faster
