My SCV Original CAS

I've saw your work and it's incredible Norik.

I've used the same item but the rotation and position is diferent from yours prince of hell.
 
The colors are much better, well done, you are getting there

If i may, I'd still use another color for the plastron of the Jailer (instead of your purple red, maybe black/grey - not too dark) because purple and red are too close and touch each other on your CAS, which is something you should avoid.
As a general rule, if you want to discern the diff pieces of equipement that are in contact with each other, choose a different color rangek, so it clearly adds clarity to your whole design.

Knowing this, you can either go for a trichromic color range with suitable color mix (ie. red, white, black is done to death but works well) or mix a wider palette with different pattern for a richer end-result, but it requires a greater eye for colors and patterns, so practice and remember that you can pick out great color and color arrangements from some of the 1P/2P designs of the standard cast.
Create a custom 1P/2P, take note of the colors you like and with which other colors they work well on a design you like and try to reproduce it on your own build.
You can also use the pattern basic colors to great effect, or mess with them to create wholly new patterns...a great example is the golden snake pattern you used (in black) on some of your stuff, it can be rotated and shrunk / increased to create various things such as a padded leather armor, a straw hat, or a scale mail...(only talking about techs i used on some of my CAS, but there are other patterns than are incredibly flexible and useful, even with their original coloring)

Recoloring actual 1P/2P is an interesting yet difficult exercise which will give show you what is wrong or right.
I'll PM you a link for reference...

A last advice (that is how i do it) would be (after you have worked the skin/face color, paint, stickers) :

Assemble all parts of your CAS (including ExEq) and paint it all white.
Doing so you see all the little details and distinct parts of your build and it looks a bit like an unpainted tin figurine, if you see what i mean.
Then you can paint it like you would IRL :)
 
Ok, some of your advices I already do like painting all the Eq with one color, but I'll keep your critics on my mind. Thank you very much for your help Vilarcane.

Now, time to upload some more CaS

The colors are much better, you tried out some new techniques, and it looks solid...the improvement is noticeable and humbles me as it should make you proud.
I like both helmet builds and colors very much...
 
Thank you, the improvement you speak of is the result of your lessons and the work of all the artists of this forum.

I never thought that I would be treated like this in the forum.

I thank you all for that and I'll keep doing my best.
 
Some recreations of Demon's Souls

Yurt The Silent Chief

I know that Cervantes suits him because of the dual weapon style, but I think it's just too rustic for Yurt, so I found that Ivy style suits him way better because of the finesse.


Mephistopheles

Biorr of the Twin Fangs

I don't like it that much and I'll try to change a few things, but for now I'm posting this first attempt.
Edit: Now I guess I made it.


Ostrava of Boletaria

It was hard to recreate the fluted armor, but I guess it's pretty fair.

Interesting original/recreations...
the least appealing to me is Biorr, mainly because the colors are a bit nondescript and the pieces of equipment don't really fit together imo, but i guess you went for the bulky look...colors should be matched more or have more constrast between them...why not give it a dark bronze armor look rather than this light pinkish hue, and add some stickers here and there for personality, and a cloak maybe.
The hip ExEq is cool tho

On the other ones, i can see the progress, the closed helmet designs are cool and clean, the ExEq are functional and add flair, and the color scheme is right.
Mephistopheles is convincing as well, colors, patterns, blade in hand, all cohesive...

You are getting there, no you need to think outside the box and come up with a truly original idea and CAS design, i know you can :)
 
I like your designs in general and how you also have a backstory for their world.

My thanks. I'm really glad to read that.

Vilarcane, I agree with you that Biorr was pretty bad, but now I edited the post with the recolored version, so I think it's way better now.

Thank you all for the likes and critics and please keep with the comments XD.
 
It's incredible how people will post one thing on this forum, then get two or three times better by the time the second page comes along XD
Must be something in the air...
Anyway, I really like the recent helmet designs :) Although I think Mephistopheles.... needs something. Perhaps differentiate the color scheme?

Only two or three times Kirax? hehe, just kidding. Thank you very much for enjoying my thread.

Sure, it must be something. I only know that the artists of this forum inspired me so much that I try to do better and better.

And I really like that you like the helms XD. Abaout Mephistopheles, I really don't feel that way, on the contrary, if I detailed it more than that it would be to overload, and the color feels right to me, but I tell you that it's hard to recreate her because I don't find good images of her. But I'll see if I can do something to improve her. Thank you very much Kirax.

O-Oh! I'm so sorry, I thought she was one of your originals! ^^; But she is a recreation. In that case, I have no authority to comment upon it as I don't know the character. Please disregard what I said ^^;
Anyway, keep up the good work! It's great to see there are still upcoming CaS artists with potential! ^_^

Never noticed your signature Kirax "if we didn't have CaS..."
so true :)

ikr? Whenever I play Pyrrha, my family laughs their asses off at me. And shut up when I whip out a few CaS XD
 
Oh wow, those are quite clever and I like the colors ^^ I saw a picture of the bronze saints on Norik's thread so I have half an idea now XD What you did with Ikki was smart! :D
 
Do you smell that..? Oh, yes, it's the smell of RIPOFFF!!!! Good grief, your Shun is a 1:1 replica of mine >:P

haha

I like what you did with Seiya though.

I thanked you in the first place and made some modifications. But if you feel a copied your shun, then I'll remove him.
Edit: Post removed
