Have been doing this for few hours now... Then I got some issues with hair, any ideas how to make hair look good?

EDIT added second WIP picture with some improvements. The hair's beginning to look like something...

EDIT 2 And again, new image... Face begins to look like something.. Thought of adding something to the hair. If anyone has any good pictures of some night elf armor I would be most pleased :)

He has no neck... Thats all that really bothers me, besides some muscle-displacements in the chest as such, but thats not really enough to get me worried.

As for the hair, try and give it a more general shading reather then trying to light up every single hair.

Maybe you are planning to do this already, but in case not, remember to shade under his hair, cause now it looks pasted onto the image from another

Rest looks quite nice

Yep, that's heavily under construction so the muscle issues and such are good pointers. Maybe I'll give the hair a try tomorrow. Right now my back's killing me :S

His Ears are DAMN Big!
I know that Night Elfs and Elfs of Wc3 have Big Ears, but, your Night Elf ears looks Unbalanced o.o"

WC3 art is all about being over proportioned. And I like it that way :)

dietri, you made a 2-tailed werewolf so don't tell other people about that they "unbalanced" stuff for now. No offense.

mordiggian, from now on never paint on white background.

Grey/turqoise(or how the hell it's spelled in english)? I have always thought that they look dull on white background, but could you inform me why so?

EDIT the base is actually transparent, which is not too good either...

white background is bad because it ruins the colors. it makes them too pure, and you get realy saturated ugly colors. plus, there's the white-color strong contrast wich makes you to see the colors darker or lighter than they actualy are.

Okay. Thanks, I'll just throw some other color on the bottom layer.
