🌿 🎨 The world beyond #3 – The Asian warrior.
A long time doing this work... as some will know I have had a great love for cultures and fantasy references. So I wanted to join my 3 passions in this serie :D
I have not thought about his name still, although if you have some idea it could be very good to be able to hear it. In this case I was inspired by the Asian warriors ... although I do not know if I imagine the tiger first or the scene and then the tiger; but I have to admit that it costed me not to see them together.

I had different references, but this one is still my favorite 7u7
These warriors have had their charm; with an interest in honor, defend their people and attack even if it cost their lives. It was hard not to imagine them as tigers in this world. With a strong honor ... that sometimes they themselves betrayed; they were experts in the art of battle and strategy ... and that meant knowing how to cheat enemies.
I have to admit that I lost a lot of the essence in the process; I still have a hard time understanding several things related to metal and some of their clothes, an a lot of details that cost me to paint without getting so entangled ...
Process
The process itself is long, and I think it would be a good idea to summarize it to the basics or inspirations. 😂
I think the sketch shows more of this culture than the final work ... Upps? Even so... I'm not complaining about how it turned out. 😂
For a long time I've been getting confused about working with the tones, it's something that I'm still working on and always looking to improve; At first I wanted to work on scales of gray or close to this base, to make sure that I did not get entangled from the beginning.
The background was the first thing that i worked on, to then go to the tiger; this last one end up with many changes, even with several attempts until I get the one I liked the most.
Details
Ignore some lights painted without reasons ... I'm still learning to paint eyes. 😂
A feline's hands?... i hope so
Instagram Deviantart ArtStation Making the armor had its long time (as the majority of the draw apparently ...) making metal can be kind of hard; especially remembering how light sometimes works on a surface that reflects it more than 50% ...

Good art!
I believe that your post is undervalued and deserves a reward.
I added it to the list of underappreciated posts.
Though now it got the votes ^^'
i'm thankful for the help :)
your idea is great about helping other artist, i will be following you and the other ones who need this helps ^^
oh very beautiful work , <3
can you tell me why in digital art you paint it in black and white for the first layer ?
i do digital but in a different style, yours is more professional ,
i would like to know the reason of that black and white layer, maybe because of having a concept of light and shadows so you can paint it easier, am i right ? :)
resteemed<3
it can depend of the artist, but i guess you have experience the point when you are confused with colors. Though the metod to fix this can be different for everyone; in my case i sometimes make the artworks in a basic way and in gray scale, and then with the help of colors and overley i put some colors in it. Though just with that it is not enough, it could help as the bones, with that is working with the details and adding some variations with the colors ^^
yes it works like bones ! thanks a lot dear @edanya <3
maybe i will try in black and white for basic of my painting once ,
i like such experiences :)

thank you very much :D
Interesting furry warrior! And it's also quite surprising to know your inspiration for the armor ^^. I like how you rendered the lighting on this picture, the determined look of this warrior, and also you didn't skimp out on the background, that's good for you :).
Thanks a lot :D
though i still can be confused about some texture and colors, i'm happy i'm starting to understand it. One step at the time? xD
i'm happy for your comment :D; btw, if you have any critiques or feedback so i can improve it, it could be great ^^
Hmm if you want critics, how the warrior grabs his spear, his left hand seems a tad off. But I think for now, we should accept imperfection and make a lot of arts instead :D.
Edit: And congratulations for getting a curie :).
Thank you :D
Lol, i dind't saw the hand pretty well, thanks xD
Yeah, problems and mistakes happens a lot; but it helps me to fix or improve in some areas if i know which areas i have to ^^. I like to ask about something i could improve from time to time, specially when i feel i haven't done it from a long time xD
Thanks a lot, equally ^^

Eda! It definitely looks like metal! Shading and lighting have always been my weak point. I love it! It looks fuzzy. <3
thank you so much :D
yeah it can be a whole problem to work with them xD; talking about that, if you have any critique it would ver helpful ^^
oh no! Your art is very well done. I have nothing to add to it <33 I need you to critique mine XD
Very neat! I love the asian inspiration, we watch all sorts of kung-fu movies whenever we can. I always enjoy a good gif of the process, thanks for filling out the article with lots of your thoughts, steps and ideas!
Blessings to you! I found this on the @c-squared blog.
thank you very much
haha, I guess we can all agree that these Asian cultures have their charm :)
So much charm and wisdom! It is especially profound to me since, growing up in a western society, it is a wisdom from a perspective that is very different from the way I was taught.
