I just had an epiphany reading this thread! The comments from piter regarding painting as "mass" drawing just made a "click" go off in my head! I get it now! It's a completely different wa ...

ejwise - loved it over at roundeye's forum and love it here too! Smile

And as Matthew pointed out, it's Gubtug and not Glubtug like I called him. Sorry dude.

the_insider - actually, I don't think the ...

Matthew - nope, it's pretty much done. It's a sketch and I don't really plan on reworking it much more. Glad you thought it was cool. Smile

The style is a new one that I'm toying with. May do more sketch ...

What I liked:
The fact that you've managed to convey that he's really BIG. The hunching adds to the feeling of a "hulking", large body.

What I think needs work:
Well, you mentioned this one yours ...

Nice one! And you did this with a mouse?? Double kudos! Very Happy

topeira, this is an awesome piece of work - love the line art, very Geoff Darrow-ish, neat and clean. Very nice. Love how you've got the bulletholes looking like something's blasted through there with ...

Hi all,

continuing to muck around in Painter7. Had a lot of fun playing around with the Scratchboard tool and pressure sensitivity. Very therapeutic exercise. C&C's welcome!

No worries, Shadow-X. Glad to be of help. Wink

Laptops usually are made to work at a fixed resolution (usually 1024x768 these days). So if you set the resolution down to 640x480 or 800x600, what you usually get is a small rectangle on the screen o ...

Love them all! Would be great if you could do the second one up (or post a higher res version) so that I could use it as my wallpaper - it's really really soothing for some reason. Smile

*bump*

Any crits on the updated picture? Any ideas for a kickass background?

Wow, it's been a busy week. Finally managed to find some time to rework the original piece. I think I went a little nuts with using a screen layer to paint in the glowing highlights, but I like the pr ...

Very nice! Love the colors and the mood. I'd have to go with Tom and say it looks more like a Chinese than Japanese character tho'. The tassles on the sword, the long ponytail and the clothes are all ...

Hi all,

thanks for all the comments! Much food for thought indeed. General consensus seems to be that the piece has potential but could do with more details put into the robe and the background. I ...

Hi all!

Finally managed to paint something after noodling around in Painter 7. There's still some problems with it but I don't intend to make any more significant changes, so it's considered "done" ...

Vyle - you rule! Much thanks for showing us how you work! inflatable.avi was my favourite! Awesome, beautiful work! Thanks again! Smile

Shizo - EWW?? Shocked

What??!? Sumi Das is THE BOMB!!

If only all the chicks looked that hot back in Comp Sci in college... sigh. Mebbe pat's right and the screencap doesn't do her justice. Yo ...

Atherium - LOL!!!

Tom - thanks for the link - a whole subculture I never knew existed!

Very Happy

Max, this is truly wonderful, inspirational stuff! Nothing wrong with copying as you've done it. I'm planning on doing the same to study light, color and values.

Oh, and congrats on that 900th post ...

Like Matthew said - magic. Absolute magic.

...has GOT to be that your nose hairs grow longer. Shocked

I mean, I have a sensitive nose and my nose gets tickled by the little sonsofabitch A LOT. Used to be I didn't even know I had any but t ...

What utter rubbish! Where's the dodge and burn?? Where's all the LENSFLARES????? Shocked

Spooge Demon posts new work!!! (does a happy dance around the PC after a fl ...

AndyT - fantastic link! Much thanks!

Very Happy

Thanks Rob! Really useful tips - just reinstalled everything after upgrading my hardware - will try these out ASAP!

Incidentally, is there anywhere on the Web we can download Painter 7 custom brush ...

Holy smokes! And you did that without a sketch first? I'd have sketched it out on paper, scanned it in, spent about 3 hours trying to "color it in", got frustrated that it didn't look painted and turn ...

Okay, I'm guessing that if you set your opacity to vary by tablet pressure sensitivity, then it's going to make a difference to your painting (or the way you paint) whether you use a Wacom Graphire (5 ...

Re: the PC upgrade:

lalPOOO & B0b - Thanks for the opinions. Yeah, considered an Athlon too, but in the end I'll be going for a P4 for a number of reasons, cooling being one of them. In the sam ...

Don't know about anyone else, but when I watch movies of Craig painting, I *ALWAYS* think "wow, how does he paint that fast...?!"... then of course I realize the playback speed of these movies can't p ...

Gorgeous!! Asolutely gorgeous! Smile

I LOVE this coloring style!! It's the kind of look I hope to achieve in my art too, a nice cross between comic-book style illustrations and painted art - very good stuff.

I'd be interested to see t ...
