Turtlebuster (May 31, 2003)

XD thanks to some good tips from some good people, i've worked on this and made it a little more to my likeing.
1) cleaned up some 'too soft areas' so they look like rocks instead of marshmellows
2) made a brand new tree that doesn't quite look real, but i like much better.
3) worked a little on the sky for shading
i couldn't seem to lighten the shading in the back anymore than this, so i will have to make sure i do that from the start from now on.
refresh to see changes ^^

i actually did start with lineart. i then made some colored layers and deleted the layer with the line art, so as to make the picture look realistic. after all, not everything has a black outline. thx furyofroy, although i was hoping more for info on doing bark/leaves (so tough for me, considering you don't actually paint every individual leaf). XD

The white stuff in the water doesn't really go with it... And uhh using the blur tool is a cheap way of doing it but.. IDK. The tree's roots look like they need to be elongated or whatever because the one kind of bluntly goes into the rock then stops... Uhh and the clouds just look like streaks. =P Sorry I still think this looks cool if you don't study it a whole lot! ^^;;;

Ok, so I just watched your animation to get a better idea how you went about doing this. Besides the fact I think you completely overuse the smudge tool, you used it well. I personally think smudge works best with liquid substances (water, fire, clouds, etc). And in this case I'll have to disagree with kazukie, I think the water looks fine.
One general problem with this piece is while you have good local shading, you need to focus on the overall shading of the piece, from end to end. In order to give your piece more perspective, you should consider the gradual lighting from back to front, in addition to local shading.
In the case of the tree, I think you have the general idea down, and the leaves don't look terrible. Perhaps more concentration on the structure of the tree. For example, how big do you imagine the entire tree? What type of tree are you trying to draw? The shape of the base and branches will be governed by the answers to these questions.
For shading the tree, for one, I would not use smudge on the bark, it totally ruined the beginning of what could have been good shading in your animation. Again, of course, it depends on the type of tree, birch for example has quite different bark than most trees. But for a stereotypical tree (lol), I would use a combination of diffused brush, vertical strokes of good contrast, and then an overall shading from edge to edge over that.
For leaves, well, what you have isn't terrible, perhaps a little more differentiation...
Anyway, it's not really a bad piece, and the animation didn't corrupt so you could edit it further. :-)

ooh! thanks guys :) i will try to edit this (i usually don't even bother trying since it screws up 90% of the time). i might just redo the tree completely, and definitely fix up the shading. when i was shading, i tried to darken the front and lighten the back more, but that lost somewhere along the way :(

Turkey Girl's death, AGAIN

taori (May 31, 2003)

And just so she can remain single, Turkey Girl kills herself. Kill being the key word here. Dead. I mean, we're talking Thanksgiving dinner.

Come on, this is getting stupid...

furyofroy (edited May 31, 2003)

*agrees* It's also annoying. Just let the damned thing die already. Let the fad die. The amusement has passed.

taori (edited May 31, 2003)

I know. That's why I'm continuously trying to kill her off. But every time I do, she "magically" comes back to life. Grrrr.

Xodiak (edited May 31, 2003)

hahaha she dies and she dies all the time... but it will incredibly hard for you to kill her Taori, even if you created her in the first place because there is already a member with the Turkey_Girl nickname! and Turkey Girl is so fun to draw that I doubt her death would stop me drawing her! I love her so much! >:D

*sob sob* Am I the only person who has never played final fantasy? Ok, I'll take that as a yes. I've seen the film, but..... yeh.....

furyofroy (edited May 31, 2003)

YOU'VE NEVER PLAYED??? That's it. Get off the computer and go get a copy of Final Fantasy 7. And if you don't have a Playstation, then buy one of them too. FF7 is the best in the series, in my opinion. Waste no time. I mean it.

digital-nut (edited May 31, 2003)

yeh, ff7 is on the ps1 right? *plz dont kill me*

~EDIT1~~
not yet done, didnt realize how much extra strain the larger canvas is putting on my computer, memory leak, or just too many pixels?
anyhow, saving before a crash.

~~EDIT 2~~
and I think I'm done.. I just wanted to adust the ropes a bit, it would've been easy for him to get away the way it was.. and I didnt want it to look like he was doing this for asthetic reasons :P hehe

Sererena (May 26, 2003)

It looks like a badly-executed watercolor! Believe it or not, this is what my watercolors actually look like... blurry, blotchy, scratchy and sketchy! Blah, oh well.

furyofroy never uses oekakibbs-that explains

furyofroy (edited May 26, 2003)

no--I used it in the early days.

concannon (edited May 26, 2003)

Love the background; the dragon's neck could stand to ge a little thicker.

Turtlebuster (edited May 26, 2003)

ya.. i know what you mean, Vamp. i don't think it needs to be thicker, but the red scales should cover the yellow chest/front neck area more, and make it look a little more round...

RAAGH! a dragon

Turtlebuster (May 25, 2003)

run for the hills and head for the caves! just stay away from this one!

furyofroy (edited May 25, 2003)

You seem to have veered away from your usual style on this one. It's good, but it seems like...it lacks "depth", you know? It seems flat. I think it needs more shading. Line art's great, tho.

concannon (edited May 26, 2003)

...I originally thought the skulls were a mass of unidentifiable flesh. -_- I like the dragon. You may wanna try some more shading. (see above comment.)
