Description
Ahoy peepz
Since I'm fully busy with school and stuff and I don't want to keep you on your toes about the protoss armour I make these days, I figured I put up an early WIP so you can see what I was cooking in the last few weeks x) So you won't get bored while I'm busy with school and stuff -_-
(Wasn't able to continue this since... 2 weeks ?)
Though I must say that is is more than half complete, you can see how I was thinking x)
It's design brakes with the original concept of protoss armour in a way that it is offers more freedom to the movements. The next huge difference will be that this armour will possess a ranged weapon on the right hand while on the left hand, you can still see a bit modified look of a zealot psy-blade.
I would be curious what do you think about this design ?
Well comments and suggestions are welcome.
Oh a side note:
Don't use this without permission ok ?

Thanks for the compliment :3
Actually I shuld be done with it until 3rd of May 
As for the exam, it will be over around middle of June... at least I will finish this school finally x)
For the anatomy:
I don't know, I checked your Zeratul and it seems O.K
Just remember that protoss have VERY thin hip 
This might help

I guess these are good as start
If you got stuck or have problems, let me know I try to help
Btw, armour and clothing can hide muscle if you are unsure how to make them.

i´m sure i have one of those books *queston is,where?*
my mainprobs are the legs, feet and hands.. so humans are not exactly that helpful but for the rest <3
3rd may mhh, 6 days? way too much XD
no,i can understand that,i think i need forever..
the links are quite good,think i can use some of my new knowledge hehe
hmm,do not give permission for asking to help,it could happen that i accept it XD
but thanks

Hehhe you know I have a "bad" habit to help others
LoL, if you ask some of my frieds, it is hard for me NOT to help xD
But you are welcome
It is funny though that there is NO canon exists for protoss physical look :/ Ever since SC 1, there are different looking protoss even in the manual xD Not to mention the ones on net
So I guess it is partly depends on you how to draw them
(For examle, mostly the toes and weather you draw "claws" on the end of the fingers or not ^^)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
zeratuls my favorite,so i think every protoss i might make looks like him :/
kind of obsessed...
then,if you chose :
are you good at backgrounds?
XD
i hate them...and atm it seems like a bit of advice would be very very helpful....
have to edit the naked zeratul again for it...bäääh
backgrounds
grmpf
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehhe if you take a look at my gallery, you will find that usually I don't draw backgrounds that much
But I start to make them ^^ And I'm espeially like one of my attepms when I made the Grim Reaper pic
SO! What king of advice you need ? Background is a huge theme
Lets see...
Usually the background is more... blured than the foreground. The shapes and the objects lines are less defined and they get more blurry as you go back from the foreground to the "far background". Technically a mountain range in the back would be not really defined... mostly just a mid-grey spot. It works just as your eyes work. Aside of that, perspective rules. Depending on your point of view, the perspective can be really different
Even in the foreground! Try to look up some stuff on google about the perspective so you can see what I mean (since I can't draw it down atm to show you the different rules xD).
Hm... Background is always a "filler". Meaning it must not draw attention from the main thing you want to show. Of course, you need to make it good, but you have to keep in mind, that the background in is a lesser position compared to the mid and foreground. This drops down to composition. The way you compose your pic determines where the viewer of the picture will look first and foremost the first time. You have to decide what you want to show: so what details are important and witch one you need to neglect in order to "guide" the view
Hm, thats it for now that I have in mind about the topic ^^
Let me know if something is not clear or have additional questions
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow
i have to copy that and save it on my computer that i can´t forget what you said
i loooove to make the background to important with to many details and it´s everything but not blurry
XD
think i will edit the pic in the next minutes so you can have a look
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehhe I don't say that you shouldn't make it detailed
You only have to decide that how much attention that part needs for an overall balanced piece ? Too much attention can mess things up, since the viewer can get confused with the too much details. Sometimes the less is more

i updated the pic, so feel free to criticize XD
damn, it almost killed me..
i still hate it ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I made a reply to it
Actually if you do that little light shading you will see if you need to actually correct anything at all. I always use light shade when making my works, since most of the time with too much detail one gets confused how are things on there xD
I think you doing fine
Btw, if you like detailing, I advise a mechanical pecil x) and for blending (don't laugh) I recommend the cotton ear-cleaner. It is cheap, you can get it nearly everywhere and accurate since it is small xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
use those too if i can find one..
i chance pencils,depends on witch one is lying around me...(i looove to sit in a chaos of papers, pencils, rubbers and computer )
light and shadows always are important,i just want to have some clear lines to stay on top of things...details were added later XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe I know thats why I said the light shadow
Helps a lot in the sketching phase actually
Well I'm curious how it will look like in the end :3
And yea... you should see my desk now XD It is a total chaos xD
Got some drink prepared too 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i´m afraid i have to ask for help
(just look at the edited picture,perhaps you find out for yourself..)
i feel like crying
yeah,the rubbing problem...i´m fighting it too..
oh,drinks on the desk?for me,not a good idea..i´m pretty good at spilling it over the whole room
Oo
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awwww.... ^^ *pats shoulder*
Don't feel down
Well it is hazardous for me too to keep drink on my desk x)
But since I'm working now non-stop it is better to keep one near
I'm pretty good at hitting my arm and leg into nearly every bloody thing in my room and for that matter in the whole house X)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
xD I got used to it I think
Not that I'm a klutz or something like that, I just happen to do this only at home... a mistery why XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ooooooo very nice...
can I use your WIPs to kind of study how to do armor in general? I've been meaning to learn the process and your art is a good teacher...no I shall not copy o3o
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehhe sure as long as you don't copy it
Usually I always put up WIP's on my works, so wherever you see an armoured picture of mine, you can find the WIP's in the description ^^
Glad to be of help

Király! Rottringgal, vagy sima ceruzával csináltad?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Rotring :3
Mindig azzal dolgozom xD még az A/2-es méretnél is
Mondjuk ez "csak" A/3 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Én szintén rotringgal dolgozok, tartósabb és precízebb, mint a ceruza (de azért az is van kéznél bőven
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nekem mondod ? xD
Állandóan van a kezem ügyében egy B4-es ceruza
Mondjuk voltam olyan mazohista, hogy nem egy A/2-A/3-as rajzomat full rotringgal készítettem el xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mazohista...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ismerős...
én pl most 3 hónapon át ültem 2 megrendelésemen :/
Mert ötletem nem volt hogyan csináljam meg őket XD
Végül persze most megcsináltam az egyiket (felteszem amint tehetem) szóval... jah...
Én ilyenkor szoktam elővenni egy fénymásoló lapot és random rajzolgatni valamit ami eszembe jut. Utána általában lavina jelleggel jut eszembe, hogy ez is jó lenne meg az is.
általában... XD de sokszor én is csak ülök és nézek mint bárány az új kapura

...Egyik legszarabb az ilyen eset...

Nekem mondod ? -.-"
Hamarosan befejezem a másikat is ^^
Az azért használhatóbb mint amit most tettem fel xD
Amúgy kifejezetten utálom amikor ké

Your defines lines are gorgeour, this is going to be a brilliant piece in the end. Can't wait to see the final product

Me too lol xD
Actually I fell in love with this concept
I know it sounds silly, but I start to love armour concepts drawing ^^ Especially sci-fi based :3
I'm glad you like it btw ^^
I hope I will be able to post another update soon in the next week ( I still have 1 more exam at the middle of the next week -_-) along with my 2 commission works ^^

Armour is a great thing to practice drawing, there's always so many shapes so it's an excellent way to practice drawing. Good luck with your exams
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks ^^
Finally finished my last one yesterday :3
So I'm free to draw again finally ^^
Though I won't have time for it in this weekend T_T
But I try to continue it monday :3 I'm really eager to finish this armour piece ^^ My head is always full of ideas about it
Geez... I hope I have time to finish it soon or I go nuts XD (kidding)

I rather do not put in my faves any WIP arts... but now I can not hold myself to do it with this one. It's just awesome! A great 
PS Have you been thinking of contacting Blizzard and helping them with concepts/artworks to SC2? If not - you definitely should!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmmm wicked idea, but I guess just for that I will make a try at Blizz
Anyways, thanks for the fave and for the compliments :3
I try my best

remelem azok a kek kis szines rezsek azt jelentik, hogy lesz benne szin is
egyebkent marha jo ilyen pancelokban mindig kibuktam, pedig imadom oket, de majd razsokok amugyis mert besteampunkosodtam

Jup eltaláltad lányzó, eztet színesen akarom megcsinálni :3
Ideje, hogy átmásszak én is színes technikára, mert, ha nem haladok, akkor lemaradok és nem érek el semmit ^^
Najah :3 Steampunk az egy nagyon jó alap !
Szeressük pl.: Shadowrun ^^
Én piszkosul imádom a páncélokat!
Bár, gondolom a részletesség részére már rájöttél a "Mors Imperator"-nál xD

Hehe x)
Köszike :3
Ezt amolyan "ultimate" cuccnak szánom, mert ebbe beleadok mindent amit tudok xD
Ez, illetve a majd elkészülő másik ké
Tervezem, hogy megrajzolom ezt egy akciódúsabb jelenet keretein belül, full színekkel, a megszokott stílusban :3

the armour looks a bit heavy for the articulations of the legs, I think it'd maybe fall on their knees by its weight :S
great work btw
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well since I gambeled this design on the fact that the suit itself has some mechanic "muscles" and other things to help the user with the weight, I guess it would stand still. Besides, the Terran marine suit is in the same boat x) But it works, so why shouldn't for a technically superior race ? xD
The legs are far from finished in design though.
I want to make them more massive, to support the suit when the user fires with the arm-gun. It will have a nice recoil so I will look into it
