aaaahhhhh, i think you're right, but bout the folds... i can't think another form of folds, so that's why its monoton, somebody have a good example of Clothes folds?

just a tut on female clothing folds:

and another by her:

I'll draw a few folds soon as examples. Just remember, that some folds may overlap each other. Just use varying lines to do folds, rather than the usual line across. Some of them curve off too aswell, but yeah, you get the picture.
If you need inspiration, take what you're wearing and scrunch parts of it up in your hand, look at the shadows from the light and different features. :P

Hope this helps a little :P

That...is...AWESOME!
You've got clothing as well as an awesome pose and pretty nice facial features. The clothing-wrinkles seems right this time.
There's only one thing I can see atm, and that's that it's kind of unclear what side his scabbard is on and that some might misinterpret his trousers (or perhaps it's a very wide belt...anyway) as some weird blade and the scabbard the handle, poleaxe-style.

Oh, and the background doesn't really fit the pic that well.

I'd love to see a fully coloured, cleaned version of that one.

[vandesdelca]

thx, and... yea, the scabbard seems weird, and no, you must not see the trousers (its messy)

anyway, i've made two new artwork... and its such a pain, but satisfying

Wow, rly like the detail on the armor plate for the 2nd one...even though u made it real simple...thts good...too much details can sometimes be a pain and look messy...

the first one could definetely be a sprite there, bud
seems like u got the shading done allright there...
though in the hair is too light maybe in some places it should be darker than others...
like in the middle of the hair the the other strands of hair come over the other side, should make a dark effect + behind...for the 2nd sprite there is barely shading for hair
u should make some outline of the hair...to make a shiney affect, using dark and light lines, tht makes the picture better when u have "breathing lines" makes it so much more...

(edit)
i think u understand "breathing lines" fine...cuz it shows as well....
but make sure not all ur outlines have simple dark outlines...

yeah... the face is ugly, and messed up

[prince_freeza]

hey rly nice drawing the face is ok IMO i like that look.
but wait pagestretch ?? it isnt that at all... o_O?

[Taniaetc]

How how HOW on Earth I've never commented on you... yet? I'm such a jerk.
I actually like the face since I can't draw good faces. Instead I use... HELMETS!
-Clothing folds look realistic
-Detailed
-Not much shading but it's fine
Awesome, I'd say.
