Ninja master

Hello.. :
I been doing a skin of a Blademaster with a mate of mine...
It became a Ninja look on him after a while... so we desided to make him a ninja... now u might not like that we didint alpha the Ears, beard and tooths away... well we didint wanna do that.. we liked it as it is now... I just hope u like him as well.. =) take a look:

looks pretty cool, but you could try shading or adding a little color to the total black. It looks a bit flat that way.

nope. The ninjas where black colored,and didint really have other colors... so i keep him as he is :> i think he already has things that lighten him up already..and shading black is alittle to hard

No he means that ninjas wore black, but nothing is solid flat black u need highlights and shadows and folds in the fabrick. If u wear a black shirt you have folds and dtuff and even if u dont the sun/celling fan/lamp above u is hinning light on ur shoulders.
Try looking at ur clothes for refrence or look up ninjas under images on yahoo/google.

shading black isn't that hard, you just need to use a greyish color to exentuate features/wrinkles in the fabric. But it's your skin.

One word, owns! I really hope it comes out in public I'm sure it'd be a hit! :>

I like the skin as it is so i keep it that way... :>

HAHA.
1:If u dont take advice from the people here ull get no where.
2:This has to be the 8 Ninja Bladesmaster ive seen.
3:Try looking at all the other skins and see how many in the top ten are solid colors.

I was only trying to help you. Why dont u go look at the to en under models and see whos there. Im not a mean person but sum one needs to set u straight.Its good u have confidance in ur work but not good if u let it keep u from improving ur skills.
DONT BE COCKY

dodge and burn are your friends no ninja can keep a stark black 24/7 it would fade ya

Dodge and burn don't work on solid colors =) This needs lots of shading. Lots. and I still don't like it.

my bad i forgot dodge and burn dont work on it :\ but go with Sorata Arisugawa's advice he probley knows more than me

Dodge and burn do work on solid colors u just have to learn to use it right and toggles settings.

My bad, I meant solid black and solid white =)

you can tell from the portrait that there wasn't much done w/ the face
he's just really black, that's all i can say, you can use some wrinkles in the skin to make it look more like its clothing

u can on solid black and white, dont know why any1 would but u can.
