You're absolutely correct, the colour was an afterthought; just a simple hue slider so it wasn't black/white.
I'm not sure (and it shows) how to colour up a B&W piece without muddying it all up.
Should I incorporate colour from the get-go, or is there a method to bringing a B&W piece into the land of the colourful without it looking like a cheap attempt?

Well knowing about colours and painting is really the only method at the end of the day that will work for you - there are some different approaches but without that knowledge none of them are going to hold up for you, there's no magic bullet technique. Similarly if you do have that experience behind you, whatever approach you try is likely to come out well enough. it would be easier to practice on something simpler than this, where issues with your values are going to cripple you from the very beginning in figuring out colours. Do a box or something in b&w and then bringing that basic form into colour - you should be able to see very quickly what specifically your weak spots are then.
Also there's no reason to call a b&w painting unfinished, there's nothing stopping value paintings from being great. overlaying monochrome colour on it is very likely going to look bad though. Unless it's a finish that you've aimed for from the start and the piece is done in context with that result in mind I guess.

i would suggest you go with flat colour if you're designing something so it's easier to create the form for future use.
i started making videos, this is our first one what do you think?

I think the main body designs look excellent, the hybrid biomechnical fusion looks great, but the wheels seem very out of place in comparison, perhaps because they lack the same amount of detail.
ye you could try adding some sort of carapace design over the wheels (or instead go the other way and make the body look more mechanical) because that's the first thing i noticed as well
Make the wheel hubs organic too and you're golden.

Thanks for the tips about the wheels. Wasn't sure what I wanted to go with that before. I'll rework that.

Guys, don't do it. I've made a big mistake.
It's the coolest thing for like an hour until you realize the drivers are useless and there's no way to rebind the pen buttons. The pen that comes with it is the shittiest thing ever and there are dead spots on the digitizer's corners.
On the upside, it's HD and the touch works p-good. Also the pen and sensitivity work fine everywhere but the corners.

Speaking of non-Wacom tablet monitors, has anyone here used a Yiynova MSP19U+?
I've read pretty good things about them.

I always said that a company called Monoprice had to be fucking dodgy
Maybe I'll be the one to get a huion touch display and then we'll know the truth about that one too...

These are looking pretty good, but as the others said the wheels are really letting them down. however I disagree about putting cover over them, I think they have a distinct offroad buggy look that is sold by the wheels sticking exposed right out to the sides. I think you should just bite the bullet and spend the time drawing really nice wheels with rugged treads or grooves or whatever they are. You could pretty much c/p them after the first

You seem to be doing some things just because you think they should be there rather than actually thinking about the form and the light - you have a darkish, sharp shadow under the chin but nothing in the eye sockets. And you've drawn in her lips entirely, then left a gap and put in a ubiquitous shadow as under a lower lip, but her lower lip is up there lol... so it looks like she's pushing her tongue out under her mouth
uh i've never had any problem with monoprice. you can install the UG-Logic tablet drivers which tend to be more up to date than the ones that come on the disc (since they're just rebranded UG-logic tabs)
in addition, you can open up the tablet settings and adjust the drawing area however you want, even disabling the hotspots.
i don't know if the same applies to the cintiq clone but i see no reason why not. i'll throw up some picture examples if you guys can't (or won't) figure it out

The corner thing applies on actual cintiqs too though
my 13HD has really bad tracking at the edges
i had a regular (non-cintiq) monoprice graphics tablet a while back and it worked pretty ok for about two years

I read somewhere that the monoprice tablet uses slightly different technology despite looking like a rebrand. I've tried all the drivers of the similar tablets like the bosto 22hd, huion gt220, gt190, that one yiynova, and the Ugee. So far none of them worked. Uninstalling between each one, of course.
I'm on Windows 10 by the way. Maybe that the issue?

Haven't posted here in a long time but anyways... It's kind of all over the place and fights with itself.
Without any context it's hard to speak too much but I don't understand why there would be such a haphazard construction of these walkways when they bothered to put detail to the handrails. You've got brutalist, modern industrial, decorative, and stone elements, but none of these things are really brought together in a way that makes them seem cohesive.
Your inaccessible platform near the "window" would have gaps that a leg would easily fall through. Dunno what that is though. Grime or plant accumulation on the sloped surface where water doesn't physically make sense. And if it's able to accumulate on such an impossible place, why is it barely seen anywhere else? Why is there no pond scum in the water?
The sets of stairs are on a slope that would be comfortable enough to climb directly up. The way they're laid out would uselessly delay a person from being able to walk through this space. If you really wanted them to have rest places, then arrange the stairs so people wouldn't waste time crossing platforms, climbing stairs, repeat, repeat, repeat. And where are the handrails on this entire area? It's even more dangerous of a space than the catwalks.
The stone area is such a contrast that it looks like an aqueduct just had a building thrown around it. The "window" area looks like it's got a screen porch style mesh over it that would be like 3-4 foot wide panels, but over such a large space and being completely unchanging it throws off the sense of scale entirely in a really bad way. And as a final note, I don't know what the point of the colors is but I don't think they do anything good for this scene. It looks like someone painted colors over so they could settle on tileable assets to model the space with.
For some good stuff: I think the attention to detail for the flow of the water around the rails and concrete is very nice, as are the quality of the handrails. They are visually pleasing on their own and it would be cool to see that level of work pushed across a whole piece.
