part of what i'm currently working on coloring...

drawn by this guy

i've sort of decided i want to be a colorist when i get out of school...not very good yet,
so i've been practicing on other people's stuff...so far, everyone's being pretty nice when i ask
to color things...and i'm building up a portfolio to boot!

of copies i did of roy lichtenstein style paintings in my room...they are comic sound effects.

Is that from MVC2?

I used to love that

oh and do snikt!

(

indeed.

yeah, i'm thinking snikt may be the winner...as my "wham!" is already in an explosion cloud...to do bampf
would be a bit redundant...where as with snikt i could have a shiny claw thingy...

indeed...

i'll have to track down my camera and take some pictures of them...they are pretty ace...

i also did a giant jumping mario...where 1 pixel = 1 inch...which i think is like 2.5 cm, right?

(

*f o o f* is a craft-aholic, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:57, archived)

2.54 :)

That's quite giant!
did you ever do that animated cross stitch I suggested?

(

Bloop Fri 16 Jul, 22:10, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 22:00, archived)

i forgot that...too bad my hands hurt all the time now...i never
even finished that mario level pillow i was going to do...

That's very smart.

I do a spot of line-art rendering myself. Feel free to swap tips.

ooer!

how did you do the fog in the first one?
edit: lol...that's a chorizowagon, innit?

(

*f o o f* is a craft-aholic, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 20:50, archived)

yes it's a chorizo

and the fog is just a well set up airbrush, numerous selected areas with a good feather then brush in. Might have added a touch of wind (distort) filter, not sure, then a touch of burning and dodge for depth and then reduce the layer opacity.

(

Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:00, archived)

ah.

and the lully shiny things on the swords in the second one?

i've been using strategically placed lense flare filters for mine...but yours have a nicer shape to them...

custom brush?

edit:ah...i never use the dodge and burn tools because sometimes, they produce some strange colors...
i just shade with variations of the main color, and then use the smudge tool to blend it.

(

*f o o f* is a craft-aholic, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:06, archived)

probably

just a standard airbrush ( I sometimes reset the taper if my pen does not give enough fade on standard ) then I create a layer, put it on top and fill with black. Change layer yo screen and then draw a selection using the polygon lasso tool like a star, feather it a touch and brush in that selection with a ligh colour fading to the edges. de-select and paint the centre. Add a glow in blending options of the same colour and you have a nice glint.

I can get carried away with stars.

(

Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:16, archived)

those are great stars though!

heh...i like that one...

i get carried away with shading sometimes...i know it's possible to get a decent effect with
just the main color, a shadow and a highlight color...
but i like the look so much better when you use like...8 different colors for the shadows alone...

sometimes the pictures take me a while because of this. lol.

haha, I know what you mean

I think that the apocalyptic rhino and the deviant ( in my profile ) stand me at over 30 layers each.

lol

yay!
some one who is as bad as me!

i have a friend who does a lot of digital art involving animals...
the number of layers she gets going for fur is insane!

(

*f o o f* is a craft-aholic, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:37, archived)

She seems

very talented, I've stuck her on watch so I can check her gallery proper later.

(

Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:41, archived)

she is.

we met in art class...she used to bring pomegranates to class and share them with me...

we always "accidentally" flicked the seeds at our teacher who we shared a mutual dislike of.

she is cooking me dinner tonight! *dances*

very nice

for those sword glints, it looks like you could just draw a line on a screen layer, then duplicate and rotate it loads of times.

you sure could

but I'm impatient ;)

cheers

the original sketch is fantastic. It's hard to do things badly when you have good source to work with ( like nobby nobodys stuff )

(

Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:22, archived)

cor!

is that who did it?

(

Bloop Fri 16 Jul, 22:10, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:23, archived)

no, nobby did not do this

it's professional comic book work from Philip Tan.
Nobby does things equally ass good though. He's really fucking talented www.biro-art.com.

(

Pasanonic 's been known to cause insanity in laboratory mice, Sat 7 Jul 2007, 21:26, archived)

yep I know Nobby's stuff, it's great!

Edit: I just put his drawing over your colours as a multiply layer, looks even better like that I think.
