This was three days work...not really all that long...maybe 6 hours...too long for this kind of work I suppose. Painter 7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This was originally for a contest on another board, but got it done late.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New version with rails reworked. I changed the coloring no the rails to match the floor, added a bit of a richer tone to give a late-day sunny look, modified a wierd spot on the dogs nose, roughed up the rails a bit, etc.

Ahhh, long time no see.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's really great, I love it

You go to concept art?(the forums)

Thats so good :'( What tablet are you using?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Needs fur though :P

Very nice, except for the wood on the railing. Are you going to make everything else as crisp as that?

Thanks for the comments folks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use a wacom intuos1 4x5 tablet. Yes I go to concept art

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wyrm: Yeah Keiphus thought they were too crisp and symmetrical too. I may have to rough them up a bit to make it fit the feel.

Nice dog!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome back lol! :D

thats sweet. i like the dog

Wow that's so amazing!

 

 

 

10/10 absolutely, looks too realistic :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Really sweet :)

Hmm, Tttia, looking at it again, I think one thing that's really bugging me is the tone of the wood..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try either making it match the rest of the deck/portch/whatever, or maybe giving it like a white-washed feel? (So you'd still have the grain, but, it'd be white-ish..)

That is the problem with using reference. I diverged from the reference on the bushes etc., but I used them for the rails. IN the picture the rails were new and the porch wasn't. I should perhaps change the tone...hm..should be possible ;)

I thought the same thing. But I love the dog. My dogs do the same thing. :)
