I did read some of the tutorials for this one, and I hope they improved my work. I used the Grunt for this one, and it is based off a monster from Changeling. I know the hands look out of place, but they are supposed to be like that.

You need to burn and dodge more. The overall skin doesn't flow well. The face looks like a clown. Keep trying.

Yeah, I'm still trying to learn how to burn and dodge decently, but I can't quite get it even close to right yet. As for the face looking like a clown, that was intentionally, as that is what a Redcap's face looks like. But thanks for the heads up on burning and dodging.

he looks verry... strange... but maybe its me i never like armored grunts...

the face in metal looks horrible right now...

indeed dodge and burn more...

and burn is more important... dodge is just for making the highlights, burn is for diffrent gradients iof shading...

what i usually do is burn>highlights>20% and dodge>shadows>10%

works for me....

I had to change some of the "aspects" so it could fit the grunt model, but it is indeed based off the Redcap. Trolls are the big blue guys with horns.

Its not supposed to look like metal :( . It didn't come out as white as I had hoped for, as it was supposed to be like white clown makeup. If I post the wrappings do you think you guys could help me with what I should dodge and burn? Just so I could better understand what to do?

I'm new at this as wel, but I think for the face you could put more contrast between the skin and the paint, maybe even a very fine black line wich you blur down a bit. just a suggestion.

Red caps are called redcaps becauuse of their white hats (kinda like yamicas) that they dip in their enemys blood.
