Description
Among the deafening sounds of steel meeting steel upon the battlefield, wind becomes as a rhythm of hoofs and stone. Death comes swiftly and surely for all who would face the Centaur Death Dealer. He is the mightiest of all Centaur warlords. His victims are struck with awe. Awe turns to fear, but he is not without mercy. He shows it in the form of release from the mortal coil by his twin cursed blades.Related content

Dood.. wtf... epic... How the hell did you think of this concept for a centaur? XD its like soo unorthodox! Really nice work with all the metal and shit.. man i really need to learn that sorta technique for metal, i keep over complicating my shading and it just becomes annoying to work with... Anyway great work! Looking forward to seeing the DB redesign

It's all about studies bro. I stumbled on a "metal rendering" process from one of my fave artists and have since tried to apply it every chance I get. I'll shoot you the link to it here on deviantArt.

Here's the process I was talking about: [link]
You'll notice he blocks out his form first. With regards to rendering metal, play close attention to the final step. I usually overlay a desaturated metal texture with opacity at about 20-30%. I then go over it with a linear dodge airbrush at about 10% opacity until the specular light looks right. Finally I use a textured chalky brush to carve out some rough spots where the light and dark areas meet. Don't just go light on dark either, sometimes it's good to go dark on light so you get a good balance of contrast. The only real advice there is BE SUBTLE. Do not overdo it, that was a mistake I was making a lot. Just practice. It doesn't have to be a character or anything. Make a Should Plate, or a Vehicle panel (or some intersecting panels); then render them. Make studies.

It's not a vid bro. It's just an image with some stages of the process. It's pretty clear though, I think it will help.
