Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
El DOODLErino, if you're not into the whole brevity thing. (NSFW? Link that shit.)

and for the photoshop challenged, how did you go about doing the whole damn thing?
Best. Compliment. Evar. :3 Thank you thank you!

Wowzers! Thanks for the comments, duders.
XAL - well, I had a photo reference, went from large blobs of basic, overall colors to more detailed work as time went on. Not sure how else to explain it, heh!
Raven - Almost the entire thing was painted using a brush I created - just a standard, round, textured brush...that I then squished horizontally, and made diagonal (for most of the piece. The trees at the bottom were made with the brush vertical, the water was made with the brush horizontal). As for the mountains, I just used varying sizes of the brush with a diagonal orientation...which can give you flat, broad strokes when you draw horizontally, or thin, crisp lines when you draw along the diagonal orientation. I changed the orientation/opacity/flow/size a few times throughout to get different effects. I ran the sharpen tool over just a bit, too (Thanks for the suggestion, Tam!).
Mertzy - Thanks for the crits! I'll keep stuff like that in mind for the next speedpaint I do.
Oh, and being the brush whore that I am, I must have your exact variant!

It's okay though. I still love you and your arts.
It's a bit embarassing to put this junk up on the same page as NightDragon's beautiful masterpiece, but here it is anyways.
ND : Thanks for the info. I figured it was something like that. The triangular shapes in the mountain tops made me suspicious. It looks great. I'll have to give that a try.
Oh snap

Ah, I'm sorry. He said it too, though!
ND : True. And thanks for the fix!
my yearly painter portrait wip.. jowls are too dark that is the main thing i'm noticing
I'm having real trouble with this one - for starters the background is ... well... non-existent. started too late. i know. i'll sort that out later.
But theres something definately not quite right about her, i've been staring at it for too long. Really need help here....!!
Should i just scrap it entirely?
In retrospect, a zombie that looks to survive on pot roasts doesn't make a terrible amount of sense, does it?
The eyes don't match up.
arms are too short and the legs are too long.
and her back looks like it's;
a) broken (the curve is too severe)
b) really wrinkly (her left shoulderblade looks all weird)
she's impossibly skinny, but that should sort itself out if you sort out her back.
her neck is too long and sort of comes out of her torso like a tube rather than the tapered trapezium is actually is.
hope that helps
A force more powerful than you could ever imagine, etc.
Ha! That is fantastic.
:^:
i'm happy with the first one. pose is too static on the second one.
edit:
third- anti hero (fucked up his back foot)
I dunno bacon, I think I liked the unpainted version better, but I'm a man who enjoys the wonders of pen.
He does look a bit...nourished, though. I agree.
ahahaha nice.
Just gonna wait for the OK now....
