The dodge and burn tools... If your work starts looking like you threw some photoshop filters on top of it or you rely on it to do your shading then you should ease up.
I hate to say it but I think this one is borderline...still interesting to look at though.

i saw it and knew it was you, but its not your usual standard. that could be just because you didn't use a ref? if you didn't then its pretty creative and stick at it dude, its about time you did a pic that was only 9/10

Oh my, I absolutely love this one. It's a new favorite of mine by you. If this was for sale I would by it. It's ethereal and speaks to me. Frankly the burn and dodge tools are used perfectly here. Truly Axil, a stunning piece.

Just edited to add that this piece feels almost religious to me. Say portraying a modern day saint or apostle.

In galleries I have seen numerous vessels in pottery or sculptures of the female form, and they are usually exaggerating one feature or another, which I think is what makes them interesting works of art.

Miss_DJ (Feb 28, 2006)

good points, pun intended...lol (and thanks DBA!)

OMIGOD! I thought I lost 2 hours of work on this, and I was sooo mad, but then I went to revise again and pressed undo a couple times, and IT CAME BACK! I love you, shi-painter.

edit---> I am QUEEEEEN of backgrounds. Dammit. Pretend, okay?

this looks like viscerals stuff. nice job

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 26, 2006)

This is a strange but pleasing combination of things... It looks somewhat "animeish" but, then it has a very realistic, believable quality to it. I love the palette you used, and i really gotta have one of those peasant style/corset things she's wearing. sexy!

patienceisoverrated (Feb 27, 2006)

Thanks DBA... I admire your art a lot, so I like it that you like it.

I don't intentionally set out to draw anime, but there are a lot of things I like about it when it's done well, like long, curving lines and gravity-defying hair and clothing. But I can never bring myself to draw it because I can't get around the fact that if you're eyes were that big, your entire head would be taken up by eye socket and there'd be no place to put your brain.

Haha, kinda like how I think Ed, Edd, and Eddy will one day melt into slime due to their super wavy outlines.

Paintchat Schedule

method3 (edited Nov 23, 2005)

I thought I'd make another thread that just puts up a general schedule that I can sticky to the top of this board and change whenever, be sure to check back every once in awhile here, especially on Fridays/Saturdays. Paintchat is up right now, started 6:30pm mountain US time, 11/23/2005. The plan is to have it up the rest of the day. Go paint chat!

Whaaaaat? Huh? Did you bribe someone to get a gradient fill tool? Wow. Love the colours, the shading, the composition and me? I love any kind of a fish story. Great stuff.

davincipoppalag (Feb 26, 2006)

Laurael is the smoothest blender on here Greta..she's amazing at it as you can see.

DeadlyBlondeArcher (Feb 26, 2006)

I think you are absolutely, positively right. Were I a mermaid you wouldn't catch me at a crab fight wearing clam shells on my chest. This is the R rated version of Ariel, I love it... hah.
