March 4, 200620 yr ( working title.. suggestions? ) Hey guys. Back again with another of my infamous non-progressive WIPs. :D I might actually finish this one though!! (touch wood) Anyways, see below for the WIP. I'd appreciate any sort of critiques/criticism/advice/etc. Photoshop 7 Intuos3 1800x1200 pixels, 300dpi Concept / Initial Plan When finished, there will be a small boy/girl grabbing for a gold coin (or other valuable) hanging from a tree branch. On the right will be an innocent, lush scene with plenty of vivid colours. The tree will be leafy and full of life. On the left, a bleak scene of death and decay. The muddy ground will be covered in bones. The trees will all be dead and the scene will be completely void of life. I'm hoping to construct it in a "mysterious fairy-tale" style... Previews (Fri, March 03, '06) more concepts.. bunch of different trees using Greg Martin's Winter Mist II as a ref for shape & form. concept & composition..?? basic linework sketched in ps update:: blocking down highlights and a few shadows for the "life" side of the tree. I might end up redoing this completely.. :) Older Versions i. colours only base colour & linework
March 4, 200620 yr Its going to be sweet man. I think 'Poison Oak' would be a nice title. Off topic: I just started posting again and I have a couple of questions. Are you the person that painted that dog? It looks like the same style. I have noticed if you are that person that you have offered alot of help with digital painting. Sorry I just am drawing a blank if that was you or someone else. Now that I think about it I might be thinking of tittia? Anyways if you can point me in the direction of some of your tuts and pdf files I just bought a tablet (graphire, hope its good cost me alot of money) and I would apriciate it.
March 4, 200620 yr Looking very good! I'm absolutely dying to see the finished product now. The concept is really really really awesome.
March 4, 200620 yr Author Its going to be sweet man. I think 'Poison Oak' would be a nice title. Thanks! I'll keep this title in mind, it's a good one! :D Off topic: I just started posting again and I have a couple of questions. Are you the person that painted that dog? It looks like the same style. I have noticed if you are that person that you have offered alot of help with digital painting. Sorry I just am drawing a blank if that was you or someone else. The artist who drew the dog sleeping on a deck (if that is what you're thinking of) was Tttia. He's a great painter and has been doing it for a quite a while. He's recently become inactive from tip.it, but he shows up from time to time. I'd be glad to try and help though, even though I'm still new to this aswell. Anyways if you can point me in the direction of some of your tuts and pdf files I just bought a tablet (graphire, hope its good cost me alot of money) and I would apriciate it. I think you mean Tttia's. He had a PDF tutorial on drawing for beginners, I believe. I can't remember the link, but I can point you in the direction of some other tutorials for that... http://www.itchstudios.com/psg/art_tut.htm http://www.portrait-artist.org/ etc.
March 7, 200620 yr Good start man... looking sharp. I wish I had the passion to still do something like this.
