I think with shading this picture looks alot better. It's much more sharper and looks really profesional like. With extra shading, the 3-d levels in this guy goes through the roof, the armor surrounding his arm is much more recognized now that it casts a shadow over his hand.

Shading creates a different sort of atmosphere. Artistically I much prefer David's version, but if the character is meant to be some sort of goody-two-shoes, happy, family-friendly protagonist, the shading will ruin that. I'm exaggerating, of course, but basically, the shading gives him a somewhat darker look -- not necessarily evil, just less good, kinda like Turner. I prefer it by far, but it depends on the mood v-nix was trying to portray.

I'd trust David to do all that as well, looks like an awesome job to me.BunnyWithStick wrote:Except photoshop shade a pencil-drawn scanned image, of course.
Actually, he did pretty damn well on that considering how hard those brushes are to use sometimes.
And I'm not being easy because of how hard the brush tool is to use, I think the shading is very well detailed.
