Childlike_Vampire (Mar 21, 2006)
Ooh, this is damn spiffy. The colors and that beautiful hair thing you got going on there are what grabbed me.
Gigandas (Mar 22, 2006)
That hair really adds a big portion to this pic. I love all the positive/negative space designs its creating. |

this turned out wonderful! do you happen to know what crocodilian you referenced this pic from? it's going to drive me nuts! :S
Childlike_Vampire (Mar 21, 2006)
I really like the texture of teh scales, and the orange vs. red in the eye was what drew mine.
HunterKiller_ (Mar 21, 2006)
The colours and texture make it looks more like a thick skinned dragon. Excellent.

As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clingingLike a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee Oh I went to see my chieftain with my warlance and my woman For he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving This I can’t believe I said, I can’t believe our warlord’s dead Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young I’ve read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums I’ve learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild To run the gauntlet of the sioux, to make a chieftain’s daughter mine And now you ask that I should watch The red man’s race be slowly crushed What kind of words are these to hear From yellow dog whom white man fears I take only what is mine lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child I can’t stay to see you die along with my tribe’s pride I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run Trampling down the prairie rose leaving hoof tracks in the sand Those who wish to follow me I welcome with my hands I heard from passing renegades geronimo was dead He’d been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead Now there seems no reason why I should carry on In this land that once was my land I can’t find a home It’s lonely and it’s quiet and the horse soldiers are coming And I think it’s time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running For soon I’ll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones Where the buffalos graze in clover fields without the sound of guns And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole (Bernie Taupin/Elton john)
Opium (Mar 21, 2006)

Trying some more in this very opaque, loose style from a photo of Tilda Swinton (very beautiful actress). I'm not sure I can pull it off this time.- Couldn't really pull it off this time. I ended up repainting it with a focus on details instead and did a value study; pretty much a failure since I couldn't do it the way I intended.
comd (edited Mar 20, 2006)
Thanks all for the comments. I have mixed feelings about this one - I don't completely dislike the end result (though I ran out of space before I got started on the hair again), but it was really a cop out as I reverted back to a style that was comfortable to me. I wanted to paint once again in the style of my earlier picture, and this time things just didn't seem to click like they did before. I think part of it is because I went even bolder this time with the contrast - the last time I built up more gradually with the tones. I also think it was a mistake to go with a celebrity before I had this technique down since I started becoming too concerned about having some sense of likeness (the last one doesn't resemble the person in the photo, but that didn't bother me since I didn't know who he was and didn't have a very good feel for how he looked). That also made me start thinking more about lines again which is something I wanted to avoid. The last one also had very prominent shadows and I could feel the form coming out of them even when I was just painting with two colors. I ended up redoing most of this picture and became a slave to the photo again. I'm going to have to keep trying harder before I can get this technique down.

This dude is smart.
terracotta (Mar 21, 2006)
I keep coming back to this to look at the eyes. The whole thing works but I think the eyes are magnificent.
Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)
Yes yes, quite so. I would most assuredly agree. |

Wanted to play with using a different tool than usual. This is all done with the pen tool on one setting (except for a plain fill BG and some airbrush to shade the stool). Trying for a pencil sketch look.

axil, i specifically said, that i was not making a comment toward you, your marriage, or your cartoon. in fact, i mentioned abuse only in the instance that the advance was unwelcome. to accuse me of insulting her culture seems harsh, but i'll take it. wasn't intended as such. zack, i agree. my comment was a general reaction to the statement, despite the fact i knew it wasn't intended in that way.i apologize for any harm done by my only semi-related thought.
Axil62 (Mar 22, 2006)
Oh ok, well that's fine then. :)

"I like how the right side looks like she has a man back with a big dent in it! Like her man back side was in a big bar fight one night because this one guy took all the pretzels and one thing lead to another and ole' half man back thought she should get up and do something about it but then the other guy had a friend who usually doesn't come to that bar, no he usually goes to the 4 U lounge, but he went there this time and when ole' half man back stood up he knew he had to have his buddy's back... his buddy was a man so his whole back was a man back, not like this lady's back, but anyway, so he saw ole' half man back get up to do something about something an he slammed her upper right shoulder area with an extra 4 inch lead pipe he happened to be carrying around, not his good one that he had in his coat pocket for something else, but his extra one. So that's what I like about this picture when I look at it."I'd just like to ask Zack one last question here. Is this what you call, 'formal criticism'? Of course, you could be referring to criticism given to terracotta by people besides Axil. But I'm pretty sure terracotta's posts were in response to Axil. Although, I haven't had 50 yrs of experience myself, I've never heard of giving criticism in 'tell-a-funny-story' form in any of my classes. And I can assure you, if that were the case, I wouldn't waste my money or time on such an unprofessional school.
Zack (Mar 24, 2006)
No. What I was agreeing with Axil about was the issue of sexual abuse re: his cartoon. His critique was informal and absurd. I do not consider the issue of the picture being finished relevant to an analysis of the motivation behind any critique, formal or informal, since critiques on finished pictures are just as legitimate as critiques on works-in-progress.The absurdity of Axil's comment speaks for itself, and to imply that he was being meanspirited for pointing out flaws in a finished picture demonstrates to me a lack of understanding of the nature of artistic critique in a learning environment. That is to say, Axil may have been meanspirited in his comment (I can't tell), but that has nothing to do with the fact that he was criticizing a finished picture. |

Ok, so it ended up not being really all that anime-like. More of a freakish hybrid. It was fun working on it though.homg 14 layers. references: knife rusty door wall texture character lighting |

I want a peak inside of your brain...anyways, I love the colors in this :)
Opium (Mar 13, 2006)
I have to say, I'm sorry Zep. I never truly looked at this one, just sort of glanced over it unfortunetly. It might have been the creepy spider lady down below this that always threw my attention off, but now that I truly look at it, I must say I love it! Seriously, I think this is the best picture I've seen on 2draw for a very very long time. Very nicely done! And I'm sorry again :) I won't ever do that again, I promise!
zep (Mar 13, 2006)
thanks a lot Opium!! really kind words, thanks. :) |
