#3 of the set. I would recommend reading my write up in order so that it would make sense better.
*********************************************************************************
#1 - Barbarian - youtube.com/watch?v=Nbr-hgHUxhA
#2 - Wizard - youtube.com/watch?v=UHkaWjV2tkg
#3 - Monk - youtube.com/watch?v=XLCrrvOREJQ
#4 - Demon Hunter - youtube.com/watch?v=XElAtRs0goI
#5 - Witch Doctor - youtube.com/watch?v=8CKHA0oNWU0
*********************************************************************************
Anyway, I made this fan art because I'm a big Blizzard fan. I wanted a glamour/action type of full body portrait that would go well as a poster on my wall. I also wanted full body shots because I wanted to design their armor myself, staying close to the original but still giving it a lot of personal touches.
For this one, I actually love the twist of the character design of their monk. The addition of the beard and the katars were very interesting.
FINAL ARTWORK: deivcalviz.deviantart.com/art/Diablo-3-Monk-Hand-of-Ytar-311470315
*********************************************************************************
SOME NOTES AND STUFF I LEARNED:
-This was the 3rd illustration I did of the set. After failing hard for two consecutive times with the barbarian and wizard illustration, I decided to take the blocking in stage more seriously. I realized that my idols like Luvisi and Algenpfleger both started with strong line art before coloring. I decided to do a similar approach which helped speed up my colored a lot!
-Doing a lot of humans in a scene is VERY difficult because it's easier to see anatomy errors than say from dragons or monsters. I underestimated this part a lot but it was out of my comfort zone so it was all good.
-Use guide lines to help yourself with the perspective. LEVENTEP's brushes have perspective guides.
-For the monk's pose, I looked at a lot of martial arts photos and I used the kneaded eraser on my desk to get the pose right. For the final fine tweaking, I decided to recreate the pose in 3D and it helped me fix the perspective of the torso and the leg at the back.
-Painting scenes with strong sunlight is very fun but is very hard compared to a night scene. Layout out the right colors at the start is more critical also.
