Hey guys. This is my first post of my actual work [in this forum] and... yeah well it's a Work in Progress which is actually a part of an older, and "bigger" thread back at polycount (http://boards.polycount.net/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=2&Number=195437&page=0&fpart=1). Just thought i'd keep posting updates here aswell to kinda' "acquaint" myselves better with the members here.
Obviously, i'm looking for helpful crits and comments throughout the process. I'm just a newbie at this stuff, so i'm sure _anything_ that u guys have to say can help me, one way or another.
Let's see if it actually helps by having three threads on three forums for the same project........

Topic Suggested: Ninja Pirate
Topic Interpretation: The suggested idea asks me to make a Ninja Pirate. This implies that the character is/may be from Japan. So, topic can be considered as Japanese Pirate. Since there is no time-period specification, it is open to choice. Hence, I may be making a futuristic Pirate from Japan, with all sci-fi implements etc. or a alternate history/fantasy style pirate, or a normal pirate!
PROJECT TITLE: WATASHI KAIZOKU!

Just got a bit of colour on this guy. Still looking for some sort of approval on the direction i'm taking? I need to learn how to paint realistic stuff on Photoshop. Any particular tutorials that you guys have looked to in the past?
Any comments and crits are welcome

I've decided to completely redo my concept art. Mainly cuz the old art is in the comp that's on a ship right now, but otherwise because i thought that it'd be nice to try this other idea that had creeped into my head.
Still in it's early staegs, but thought i'd post it up for some crits. I wanted him to look big and bulky, kinda disproportionately. His huge belt will have a sculpted Oni roaring on it with glowy eyes and mouth. His gauntlet will have the japanese symbol "KA" inscribed on it [KA is the symbol of power btw]. These are all rough ideas.
A friend of mine already said that he's a bit tooo muscly. I just wanted get some more suggestions about that.
Thank you all in advance.

I wanted to strip my concept of colours and just go back to the lines. I want this to be 'cool' so i thought that i needed to spend more time on the basics. This guy is a bit more 'classical' as opposed to futuristic or fantasy-ic(?). He has a wineskin filled with Sake, and his right hand has a missing ring-finger so that his retractable blade can come out from there. Also, he has a Skull-and-Crossbones tat and a little neck-chain thingy too. His peg is gonna be made ornate, im thinking of making this guy look..... successful?

did some shading and took the advice about posing a model and using that as a guide. So this update includes the guide aswell as the 'new' concept. We've begun packing the cargo etc. so i've been busy. In other words, that's my excuse for not having _alot_ done
Any more tips are fully appreciated!

alrighty, picked a silhouette i liked and moved forward. i won't say i've abandoned the silhouetting entirely, just thought i'd pick 1 and see what i could do with it. This is real rough, and quick work. Hard brush only, nothing 'soft and fuzzy', and yes i know lines don't exist in real life, but still. I actually borrowed a tablet (Wacom Graphire). It's really small, and i just wanted to try it out... seems like i luv it! don't think i need much bigger than a 6Xwhatever it is!
