Crits?

The second one is nice :)

 

so is the first, but the second one is better.

Umm.. I don't know what to make of this.. Did you just put a 'art brush' filter over things in Photoshop or..? -.-

Looks like a picture put on 'Oilify.'

The second picture is just on the edge of Real Life pictures, so please watch out when you post those.

Very simple designs. :-k

May i remind this forum that I do not own anything other than paint?

 

I did both of these by hand, pixel by pixel...although not in the traditional sense. The eye one took 2 days, the second one took a few hours (less color changes)

Thanks, yaff! That means a lot :D

Im guessing thats a function that photoshop has...And as I said before I don't have that.

Simplicity isn't always bad

Well In that case, they're damn good.

Agreed. You should get photoshop and do the same thing using brushes. Guaranteed, they'd look awesome.

... Even then, he could put someone else in danger.

 

 

 

And by the way, I cant see the post where he said that. It could have been edited, I dont know.

If you blended the colors together with smudge or something, I think you could call it a digipaint.

 

I did the same thing as you then used the smudge tool and ended up with this

I was thinking the same thing, but unfortunatly, i can't do that in MSpaint :( but you're "digipaint" is beautiful :thumbsup:

 

 

 

 

Agreed

 

Thank you so much :D

Not enough RAM on my crappy laptop

 

but sooner or later I may be getting either gimp or photoshop (pending my friend finding the install disc)

Thank you :D and i'm already working on getting a better art program :wink:

Bumpin' !

 

i figured i could bump since i had such major edits instead of wasting everyones time by making a whole new thread

Could I see the originals?

 

 

 

Its quite cool.

It's way too hard to tell your abilities based on stuff you've used refs for. Anyone can copy to this extent from a ref.

did you color over photos?

Because you're using a direct reference why not go one step futher than just making a blobbed copy? you should be in full control of volume, shape and detail. I'd be atleast tempted to experiment with things a mear photo can't give you, exagerate, be creative, turn it into something in itself. I don't know if you know what I mean but I suppose I just don't get what you're trying to gain from these except maybe trying to borderline the no rl photo's rule.
