The right hand pair for me as well.
Why is easy - because they're closer to scaled human proportions, so are slightly less caricatured than the other pair, and I prefer minis nearer to normal human proportions.

Thanks for previous answers. I know that this topic is boring but please about more opinions. I would like to design another figures but I have to set the style.

They are BARELY different enough to tell apart from a full view. I doubt such subtle changes will be even visible on the physical models.

Very subtle, but I like the middle one best. I'd know more if they were in color, but I understand not wanting to color the ones that might be discarded

I'd go for the middle one too.... The one on the left has too much of a big head... Not too much difference between the other two, but I think the middle one is slightly more "balanced".

Thank you for your help. Maybe it sounds stupid but this model is important to me. It is a model for other my figures / figures (I mean proportions). This is a curse for me because I still see my mistakes in drawing. And does the big head do not give a "nice effect"? I do not want to do exactly human proportions. Light deformation is supposed to give the effect of sweetness and maturity. Many artists in this forum are not doing exactly human characters. I do not know how to put it exactly... I do not know where to look for sources how to achieve this goal.  |

Do you read any online web-comics? I read Girl Genius fairly regularly. I downloaded some of the characters that were close to a figure view (feet fairly flat at the same elevation) and reduced them to the size of miniatures and printed them off. I liked the look (they would fit in with Dave Okum's figures). Since that exercise, I look at similar proportions as being good for the table.

It;s just the one on the left is a little *too* big IMHO. But it is personal taste!  |

Now that I can agree with. He did some great stuff back in the Dragon mag days and his other stuff is great as well. Wendy and Richard Pini did some beautiful work with ElfQuest, and Steve Gallacci did great work with Albedo Anthropomorhics. I'd love to see these folks come back (if they are still around). |

I watch a lot of graphics on the web. That's not it though. Thanks for the source. It seems to me that these are human proportions. Maybe I'm wrong? Oh i expect some deformation of proportion, all 3 of them have "unrealistically" big heads. It;s just the one on the left is a little *too* big IMHO. But it is personal taste! You're right. This model (from left) is "sweet" but other characters no longer look like this. Hence my question. I'll ask for more criticism. I model in part on such authors: 8rad pasiphilo (Normal proportions rather) Sanity Studio Or maybe you know books, links, forums, other sources, how to create people in other proportions? |

I like the middle one, but really you need to look at them on a table. The main point of enlarging hands feet and head, like with plastic/metal minis is they are to give expression and character from the perspective of the player looking down on them on the table. Another wee tip is learn to like your mistakes. One of the appeals to me anyways like all hand drawn art over cgi/photo realistic is the mistakes. These really add the human/boardgamey touch.
Keep practising but try not compare your style to others too much. Emulate what you find appealing in others pieces but mix it up your way to make something that is truly your style. =)

I have a problem with my banner. I wonder how to draw the fill of this banner to be natural. Normal lines are a bit artificial. Do you know any tricks how to make "embroidered" banner in photoshop? For help thank you in advance.  I decided to draw models according to my natural style.  |

I don't really think it needs the cloth pattern

Maybe I wrote wrong. I want to make a symbol on the banner. How to make it real? I do not mean fabric texture.

If it's near the top of the banner, it looks like the center would be a little bit bigger than the edges ( smaller, BIGGER, smaller)
Don't know if this helps

The folds are (of course) going to hide or distort little bits of the emblem. At this scale I wouldn't worry about showing stitching or anything like that unless it is very crude.

Can you send some sketches of emblems for undead?

Which is better? i think i am arrive late to the party but i will give you my opinion. for me the best is the third one ( the one in the right ), the head is not so much big like the first one and the line on the legs are thicker than the others... I like so much the style! My best regards! |

To my eyes, the second one On the left or on the right? Going from the left side, to the right side, and indexing the leftmost element with an index of "1", the chainmail No. "2" is the best looking to my eyes. I should add that from a greater distance, the No. "1" better reads as being chainmail, the No. "2" blends in with the overcoat. Take note -> all of this is from looking at my computer screen, I do not own a printer. |

In my opinion from left side 1 and 2, they have more visual power because the head is in black line...
anyway, they are so cool...maybe i need to start to copy justtttt a little your pictures, just for learn!
see ya!
