Hey all. It's been a while. :X I was really surprised and excited to see that we have an Artist's Alley when I logged on the site the other day. I just finished up the piece that I had been...
So I was just reading your pros and cons to using Illustrator vs Photoshop and thought I'd toss in my 2 cents. As DHB mentioned you can also use the Pen tool in Photoshop to achieve very similar...
@Demonfyre Thanks for looking and your suggestions. I agree that the big mushroom at the bottom left is rather distracting. I still have a lot more to do before this is finished.

Hey Tag, welcome back. I'd like to echo what darkmousy said above. Definitely do a few studies on clothing folds from photos or with a table cloth or bed sheet tossed over a chair. It'll help...
@Regantor Thanks for visiting my thread and commenting. I agree that the village needs a lot more love. If I get around to revisiting the piece in the future, I'll probably work quite a bit on...
@JJJorgie Thanks, I'm glad you like it. I'm not entirely sure how long it took me because I kind of let it sit incomplete for about 2 weeks. If I had to put a number to it, I'd say it took me at...
Sorry to double post, but I finished the landscape and wanted to show everyone. Hope you all like it.

@JJJorgie Thanks :)

Here's my current progress on the same painting. I hadn't made much progress until I really got into it this morning. Too much other stuff going on. D:

I'm still alive. It's been a busy holiday season. I didn't realize it's been 6 weeks since I last posted. O.o
@Corastaur Thanks!
@EvilCake Yeah, I agree. I actually went back closer to how...
Hey Jjjorgie! Good to see you trying to push yourself with the poses. In times like these, it may be a good idea to do a quick red line stick figure over top of the photo ref just to get a clearer...
@JJorgie Thanks for looking. :)
@Demonfyre It actually is a photograph of mountains. Sorry to disappoint if you thought I made that up. In case you don't know... a matte painting is just where...
@Gaff Thanks for looking and critiquing. :) I agree on certain monitors she looks like she has a beard. The monitor that I painted on seems to be lighter than other monitors.
@Blue_Dragon ...
Nice job with the muscle groups. I'm a bit confused as to what the dark thing on the butt in the last picture is though... :X
If that's the case, you may want to make sure that your pressure sensitivity is work as well. Every now and then mine shuts off in Photoshop. If it is working, maybe you can play with the settings...
What program are you using to paint in? My favorite program to paint in is Photoshop, but I imagine GIMP is somewhat similar. As far as brushes go, you really only need 3 brushes to paint - a soft...
@CF Thanks for the critique. I did use the horizontal flip quite a bit actually. Maybe it's just that I'm coming back from a hiatus and my eye isn't as sharp as it used to be. I'm trying not to...
So it's been a while since I last updated. Unfortunately I don't really have much to show for the past month D: At any rate, in order to start getting back into the swing of things again I did a...
While I haven't done a whole lot of character design myself, I find myself gravitating to people who have functional designs. Since I have no clue about his back-story (or the story at all) it's...
I'm really liking how you're doing hair now and I like the colored sketch you did - you should try doing more of those. Also, you may get more requests if you post in the Recruitment and Requests...
Hiya. I've been meaning to comment on your thread for a while but just haven't had the chance. Very nice job with the line art in the first piece in your latest post. Even though I know the...
Still on this line art kick. I'm actually enjoying it a lot more than I used to. Here's a few fairly quick space ship concepts. I think I'm happiest with the first and last ones. Perspective is...
Thank you for calling me out on my laziness. I understand perspective fairly well, however, the above drawing doesn't show that. But more importantly, as they say, only perfect practice makes...
@Shadowsfade Thanks! I'm glad I was able to differentiate them more.
@Rubisko Thank you. I probably would have moved on had it not been a commission. I felt a little more pressure to push the...
Looking good on the newest piece. The only issue that really sticks out to me is her massive forehead. It looks like she's shaved her scalp. :X The face is looking nice though. :)
Decided to join in on the fun. See if I can keep up with everyone. :D
