Description
This is my renaissance character in one of the two "high end" pictures of this assigment. He's standing in his workshop drawing blueprints for a project he's working on. I'm quite content, I feel that I am making progress.
This is part of a school assignment in concept art. We were divided in groups and were assigned two art epochs. We were supposed to design a concept of two clans or families, one vampire clan and one werewolf clan, that were rivals or enemies and each of the clans should belong in one of the two epochs. The assignment was a lot about gathering references of fashion, architecture and items of the topical era.
Our epochs were the renaissance and the baroque periods and our werewolf clan belonged in the renaissance and the vampires in the baroque era. The werewolf and vampire part is not very apparent in our version of the concept. We decided that our werewolves had a firm grip of their town with a trading monopoly and also some maffia-like business. Then came the vampires which were all new and young and fancy and stole the werewolves social status with their new baroque fashion and their nice parties in their mansions. Although the werewolves are still rich and powerful they are bitter and angry because their loss of reputation.

If he's a werewolf, he sure picked the right fashion to hide supernatural musculature. What happened to the scar?
The design does indeed look authentic, though admittedly not too outstanding. If historical accuracy is imperative, he'd probably have to be a character-driven... well, character.
I like the colour scheme, a bit desaturated and nice cool room/warm guy balance. Creates a realistic, but still interesting atmosphere. And I gotta say I'm pretty impressed by how you used perspective. Despite some errors, (like where's the table's other leg?) you managed to make almost all lines point at him, giving him a strong presence.
I'm a bit confounded by the lighting though. If the sun is low enough to put the shade from his cloak so far from it, how is it shining on the floor so close to the window? Does the crate have a shadow? And I'm hard pressed to find a reason for him to have any light on his right (for us) cheek, considering the light source is behind him.
And though a bit irrelevant, I love the lazily cleaned windows.
