thanks mclelun.



here's another painting i did today. subject: KRATOS from god of war game. well i did change bits and pieces of him. not too sure about the colours, a little too dark for my taste. and the background's too simplistic. suggestions welcomed. below is the original pencils:

raining? hmm, i guess u're right. it wasnt my intention, though haha.

yes, i did this on painter. all the dark tone comes from the original work that i done with pencils and later scanned into painter. then painted on several layers before exporting to photoshop for some post production effects. pencils took about 2 hours, painting + post effects about 5 hours.

even in photoshop i use a lot of layers when painting actually. however, photoshop layers are more for photo manipulation and effects, while painter's are give more options on controlling the outcome of the media.

the effect that u have is probably the paper surface setting in painter. bcoz of painter's ability to simulate media surfaces, what surface u attempt to sketch on will give different effects. for example, if u use pencils on a concrete wall it will definitely be different from bond paper. even papers have different types. there are watercolour papers, bond papers, tracing papers, soft papers and so on. the effect u have may actually be the setting on those rather than the layers itself. not forgetting that painter has loads of pencils to choose from .

i've moved on from photoshop to painter successfully in 6 months. yeah, it took me that long.

the best thing i love about painter apart from its realistic media is the ability to rotate canvas at will. if u dont know this, the control is spacebar+left click+alt, and while holding the 3 buttons, drag ur mouse around. u'll arbitrarily rotate ur canvas. this imitates rotating ur paper in live drawing. beats rotating the tablet LOL. u can rotate canvas in photoshop as well, but not as easily as this.

to be honest, if u're drawing manga style, u can escape with a little disproportion in ur figures. mangas usually intentionally exaggerate certain parts while deliberately reducing others. this is evident in big eyes-small nose combo. what i'm saying is, ur work looks fine

must.... keep... this... thread... alive....

thank you all. thank you for ur support indeed

artist community fares stronger when it has equal support from each member of the community. that's how deviantart is so successful . u post up an artwork, u get people to come by and see it, and then they leave comments. to any artist, it will keep ur spirits up (especially when u're down), and continuously want to produce more and more.

so it's not just about saying "wah gempak" or "pergh!", it's what it means to the artist. ofcourse, artists require the occassional smack-in-the-face critiques as well .

that's a fine piece fyonne...

i suggest using the dodge brush/effects to accentuate the glow and shine

i actually plan this 6 page as something for fun. apparently another friend of mine (adifitri) managed to secure a slot in one of the local comics magazine. so if u wanna read this comic, it should be printed in the next issue of KOMIKOO, or the one after that. it is a 1 out of 4 parts (each part 6 pages).
