For CGPintor's Disney Villains Art Jam.
Character from Disney's The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
Always wanted to paint an old man.. I also hated this villain so much... so yeah.. here's Frollo...
It was good practice :D
Style inspired by Dave Rapoza's works. Cheers!
***********************************************************************************
Here are a few relevant tips for digipainting stuff like this:
-The first few minutes are the most important. Have a solid drawing. Decide the composition and lighting at this stage. No need to put color at this stage unless you are doing a speed painting.
-Layout your colors as fast as you can and just keep on adding and adjusting it til it looks right.
-For skin bumps or textures. Create a new layer on top with only the shapes that you want to emboss. I splatted a few dots on this layer and then I colored it the same as the lightest part of the skin. Duplicate this layer and nudge it to the direction of the lighting by around 2-3 pixels then change it's color to the darkest part. Merge these two layers and manually remove any repeating patterns or lighten it if it's too strong and noticeable.
-Don't be afraid to put mixed colors in your background just to add interest. Just take note of the color theories.
-When in doubt, use rim lights.
