spooge: how often you get to work with a model? i like the figures you've been posting quite a lot(colors especially). well, that mech is fantastic as usual though

beat: awesome stuff, love the strokes. may i ask what kind of reference you're using?

AARG! Craig, you're such a bad-ass-master-painter. I've to go praying at my MullinsAltar

it's hard to believe, but you guys keep improving...
balistic: good to see you here brian!
with a comment that spooge made, i started wondering what resolution you guys are working in for der speedwerks?

CarRyoN · Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 6:31 pm

2 hours, just toying around. Could have used much more work. My 2nd posted work...

Tinusch · Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 7:03 pm

Balistic, that is INCREDIBLE. If you had spend 2 hours on it I'd be impressed, but 10 minutes? Wow.

Arc][Pello · Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 7:14 pm

about 10 mins for this one and 20 for the one a few posts above.

man Craig at times i cant tell what program you use anymore...

littlejohn · Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 8:14 pm

Yeah, Craig: wow.

From tonight's life drawing:

Craig: Something that always impresses me about your work is how you so successfully define planes in the image. This probably sounds really elementary coming from me, but I hope you understand what I mean. For example, the transition from the textured ground (which I love, btw) to the sky is literally seamless. It amazes me how you can do that with such simple strokes/shapes. I always find myself wanting to clearly define the horizon line. I almost have to restrain myself from drawing an actual line across the horizon to get my point across. :P

Less is more; I need to teach myself that to such a higher degree.

Do you have any suggestions for exercises that may help with this, Craig?

Spooge> Wohooo! I wish you did more paintings like that...

Arcpello> I use the normal Photoshop (5.5 (I need to get 7!)) brushes, airbrush for gradiations if needed, but mostly the more sharpedged paintbrush on 50-100% opacity. By keeping a finger on the 'alt' key I can colorpick where I just painted and thus mix colors fast. I've set the spacing on the airbrush down so it gets a more smooth look. I got a few custom brushes I've made by painting/dabbing black acrylic on a paper. I use those for texture.

Dirty A4 stuff - acrylics, watercolor and some pencil doodles I'll color in PS and add to the RBT series.
