    Finished, framed (The frame is 3cm higher than the canvas to add depth). 12"x9", acrylic, canvas. Selling for $90, I make 60% of the profits if sold, I don't want to be an artist anymore ect.

    P.s. Notice the painting to the left is $250. Life of a starving artist. Too bad I love painting more than life itself.





    Edited:

    Also, I forget if I posted this, but how much would you pay for it? it's 8"x11", colored pencil, on black paper. It's framed, but just a shiny gold frame.

    Another co-op song, sounds maybe a little like Rammstein and Turmion Kätilöt. This is a song about domestic violence and by no means could it be a story influenced from real life, yet.

    Difficult day was it? People called you a nagging bitch?
    Boss tried to rape you? You can't buy a beatiful dress?

    Eat my shit darling, puke it out babe,
    Step on it honey, Tip over and break your neck sugarpipes!

    And then you can -

    spray painting on black generally looks pretty bad, it probably too late but I would have suggested either making your case not black or painting on a white/grey object which you can put onto the case

    How so? There are indeed anatomy issues, but if you work on it and color it you could probably create something neat looking cartoony.
    And if you at least learned something, you've won.

    Speaking of color, I continued the speed paint from yesterday so now it adds up to an hour and 15 minutes (aproximately) of total work. Calling it quits.
    Upped the res to 7000*4375 with 300 pixels/inch. It's so much easier working in a high res compared to what I used to - I'm still trying out different techniques since I'm still fairly new to digital painting and all, and that one's a keeper I tell ya.

    Could anyone find out for me if the monoprice tablets have the feature where every point on the tablet is a point on the screen, like the Intuos tablets have? I know the Bamboo tablets don't have that feature and they're horrible cause of that.


    Dont feel stupid for investing in a Wacom.

    The I4 comes with things like 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, while the Monoprice one is around 1024.. The pen is battery powered which is a huge flaw for professional standard tablets. Not to mention the monoprice doesn't even support pen tilt, which is pretty awesome when used with photoshop painting.

    Wacoms are usually more expensive than other brands for good reason.
    I actually only feel bad for investing in a Wacom cause the price dropped by 100$ a few weeks after I bought it when the Intuos 5 came out

    Update on my Choose Your Own Adventure:

    One of my friends has signed on to help with plot, branching stories, and a bit of coding. I've also figured out how to make classes using a system where I have a numerical value for each class, whereas Warrior=30, Archer=60, and Magician=90. This allows me to use if-then statements referencing the class through a number, and I can also use a line of code to show a meaningless title which identifies which class the player is (e.g., on the stat screen it says "Warrior," "Archer," or "Magician," but that title itself doesn't affect gameplay and doesn't play into the coding process at all).

    I've arranged the Classes in 30's to allow for subclasses if at all possible, and also to allow for similar options for certain classes. For instance, I can use a single scenario in which the player takes out an enemy from afar by using the code
    *if battle >= 60
    [indent] You take the enemy out from afar, and the other enemies aren't aware of your position.

    "battle" represents the class (I couldn't call it "class" because I am already using the "class" variable to represent the class on the stats screen). That code allows for the same scenario to be used for the Archer (60) and the Magician (90). I can also use *if battle <=60 to allow for archer and warrior scenarios, such as stabbing (like with a knife, or an arrow).

    In the beginning, the character is able to shape his stats (see previous page for stat details) by sharing a story about fighting goblins with a patron of a pub. For instance, I present the choice to either jump out and surprise the goblins or to formulate a plan, which changes the Impulsive/Planning stat, and I present the choice "the goblins are surprised by your [pure brutality/extreme accuracy] to affect the Brutality/Finesse stat. This scenario allows for questions to edit each of the stats, and also provides a bit of backstory on the character that you have chosen. At the end of the story, you tell the pub patron your name, at which point you can choose your character name and gender.

    I recommend you move away from outlines, they make everything look very flat. If you have the original sized image at full quality I could show you how to improve it.

    Started a new image.

    While casting around for ideas I found this photo in one of my albums:



    I sketched it out as a thumbnail and then resketched it, trying to figure out how to give it a sci fi or fantasy spin. I ended up going back to an idea I worked on a bit earlier - trees with wires and stuff attached; harvesting power from trees.



    Did a thumbnail colour sketch (took a while to get them looking half decent) using another photo from my album as a reference for the colours.




    Did a few more sketches, developed it some more. Hopefully will get into a painting session today to do some big work on it.







    Edited:

    Wow.

    I don't know how I expect you guys to understand those plans

    Ok so first thing i'll put this tutorial here, it's the best ever
    http://www.pixeljoint.com/forum/foru....asp?TID=11299

    Now, first thing you wanna learn is how to chose colors properly. Do not rely on only brightness changes to get shadows and highlights, learn to use the hue and saturation. The hue tends to usually be more red for shadows and the saturation higher and the for highlights the hue is more yellow and the saturation lower. This is obviously not a constant rule, the main point being though that the hue and saturation should be changing.(example of no hue change) (example of hue change)

    For choosing the actual colors for the pallet, start with one dark shadow and move your way from that to the highlights and shadows of the different objects in your piece, try to keep from making random pallets, it needs to all be linked together. (example) (example)
    Another thing to remember for colors is you usually want to keep your pallet overly simplified, don't go crazy with multiple colors if you can reuse some of the other ones. (examples 16 color palette)

    For outlines, you need to learn how to use sel-out if you really want to use them, this basically means that areas of higher brightness will have brighter highlights and darker places darker highlights, as opposed to one color for everything. (example)


    And here's the quick edit.

    vs original

    Looking good, though it looks a bit off in terms of perspective where the first structure meets the ground, and those small strokes over the water makes it look kinda weird and underworked, other than that great job on the distance levels and the cast shades. Definitely captured a sense of cold morning.

    Edited:

    I'm definitely not the one who should advise something, but..just my opinion. May be it would be better to use larger brush strokes?
    No you're right, I caught myself somewhat zoomed in with a smaller brush far too many times, where I should have kept the small brush for metal detailing instead... I like this concept and feel like redoing it entirely.

    A set of infographics that I created a few months back for my Graphic Design class at College (And more importantly to get a feel for the style of design because the course i'll be taking at Uni includes this).
    I know quite a bit of this is poorly composed, with different stroke widths and lots of other shit wrong with it, but it was made in Photoshop because I was too scared to learn illustrator or any other program at that point :(














    Inspired by Ikea (lol no shit), I decided to keep it simple although it looked really nice with some red halftone splashes where the lipstick is. The font is Futura md BT although I should have used Verdana which is Ikeas 'new' (2009) typeface, I still think the Futura carries the good old Ikea feel that we can all relate to from our childhood...
