Ah, the gold looks much better now. What a difference a little highlighting can make.

Thanks, now tell me how you are able to add italics and bold to your font in your comments!

For bold, type < b > without the spaces, and type without the spaces to stop it. For italics, replace the 'b' with 'i'. You can also use 'u' for underline, 'sub' for subscript and I'm sure there are more I don't quite remember. There's an FAQ for it somewhere but hunting it down would probably take me longer than just replying this way.

The gold bits look a little too soft and muddy to me. Did you use the dodge/burn tool? What you might consider is incorporating a little white into it here and there to give it more of a metallic feel.
Otherwise, not bad. Simple and effective.

You are indeed right. I was lazy and did no highlights. I used a different finishing method to throw it out there. Maybe I'll fix it. Thanks, buddy. BTW have you ever heard of a comic called Epsilon Wave?

Can't say that I have. The name sounds vaguely familiar but I don't really follow comics much these days.

Well ain't that a how-do-ya-do. It's even the exact pattern that I follow with Dualmask.
Man, I'm surprised no one's ever brought that to my attention before. Suddenly my character's level of interest just dropped like...100,000 points.

It was independent and obscure, but anybody show you this? [link]

See, that one's not SO bad. Anyone can do a black/white alternating character with varied details, but that first one matches Dualmask almost perfectly. My wife even suggested that I might have seen the comic when I was little and subconsciously based my character design off of it when I first made Dualmask up (I was around 14 when I did).
This discovery is making me rethink the future of my Dualmask character...at the very least, his visual design.

I wouldn't change it, besides his arms are bare, the eyes are different and he has the staff weapon. I honestly don't think you saw it unless you were REALLY into independent stuff. The cover has a winged woman, so I bought it. It is more likely you saw the latter, as it is owned by Marvel (In-Betweener) and modified the design. I think his earlier designs didn't have loose clothes.

Well, I know for a fact that what inspired me to design the Dualmask character in the first place was Two-Face on Batman TAS (which means I was probably closer to 16-17 when I made him up). I remember seeing the black and white split suit on the character for the first time, and getting inspired. I didn't give him the pole until much later, when I saw Slade (Deathstroke) for the first time on the Teen Titans cartoon. Before that, Dualmask had the power to emit "dark" energy from one hand and "light" energy from the other, but I started thinking that was incredibly lame as I got older.
I'm sure I may have seen the In-Betweener before, but my memory's not that fuzzy...my dad exposed me to all manner of Marvel and DC comics as I was growing up. I'd have remembered if that guy directly inspired Dualmask's creation.

The dark and light energy I like. I just had a flood of ides for that.

When a friend of mine asked me exactly what "dark" energy was, and I was unable to answer, that was around the time that idea died. But now that I'm a lot older and a little wiser, I could probably come up with a decent answer...
Oh well, I've moved on from that. If you've got ideas, knock yourself out. And you can pay me 10% in consulting fees should you get rich off of it.

Do you use some kind of template for these guys ?

I just made the template so I could work out design ideas and knock out a few fanarts I wanted to do with minimal effort.
