Lizard/Eagle Humanoid Design (With insectoid features)

For the final Part of my design i began on adding more features and details of the design. Such as the eagle claws, lizard feet, eagle chest. I personally thought the combination of the two was very effective and fun to design. The image of the lizard and eagle combination was effective and helped me create a very interesting piece. The use of different greens also helped bring out other features on the body such as the shoulder blade area and belly. So i began adding more shades to it and using the burn tool to darken the areas on the body that such as the armpits,  legs and neck. Those parts were important because normally in pieces its important to bring out every part of the body that has a lot of shade, tone, and light areas

What i occasionally found a bit of a problem was not trying to use the green on the outline making it stand out too much to the point where it takes away the light effect on the rest of the body. I was not trying to let the outline over run the rest of the piece considering the inside bit was more important. Because if the outline takes over took much it looks less effective on the inside features of the body.

                               

After i gather the ideas and created one piece i moved on to the lining detail as well as the detail on the spear on the back of the character i designed to apply he's fierce and dominating stance. What i knew i was going to do was add the basic colours of a lizard and and an eagle. First i began to add the first layers of the colours of green dark green and dark yellow.

Then after i knew that it would look to basic just having the colours but not merging or adding shading and toning. So used different shades of green and yellow. Also including the burn tool and dodge tool.

When i was creating my humanoid i was thinking exactly what would i want the piece too look like do i want my design include two different animal/creature features. As this task was initially to design an insectoid. I didnt particularly like the insect features or the body shapes, but yet i was fascinated by the lizard body sizes and human like features that could be incorporated into sketches as well as eagles stream like body shapes and beaks. Too merge the both together would exactly be what i was looking for so i began to sketch and develop the idea.
