Grandma

This is a photopainting I made of my girlfriends grandma. I took the photo and made a paiting out of it with Painter and Photoshop. The next stage is to print it on canvas and repaint it with Acrylic paint and gels.

Ascension Art Dump

Hey Everybody,

I am the creative director at Digital Roar Studios. We are a small indie game development studio who is currently working on Ascension (www.ascensionwar.com). We are mid production and I just wanted to share some of our concept art to date.

Thanks for taking a look. And for anyone who is interested we are still looking for a couple artists to help round out our team. Check out the post on that topic here:

To people who own Wacom tablets

What size do you own? I'm thinking about getting one but is it really worth shelling out all the money for a 12 X 19 or is buying a 9 x 12 kinda as good? Also I want to go into animation; are there any versions best suited for that? Sorry to sound like a noob here but I'd appreciate any advice.

Ascension (space game) needs prop concept art

Hi Everyone,

I am the creative director at Digital Roar studios. We are making an indie title called Ascension (www.ascensionwar.com) and we are mid production, but we are still lacking some concepts for a couple structures. We do a sweat equity pay structure, meaning all work is added up and when the game releases and makes money we pay back the people who worked on it according to how much they put in. More specific details can be discussed later down the line, but that is the general idea. Please check out our media section of our website to gather a better idea of the level of art we are looking for and if you are interested, please contact me at:

zachariah.inks@digitalroar.net

Thanks

Get those inventive juices flowing!

Well, first off, hello. My name is Doug. I didn't even know i had an acount 'till a couple weeks ago. Anyway, Here's my sketchbook. Currently I'm sketching etc for some models i *hope* to have made for a fallout 3 mod. Most of them are on plain old paper, so once my scanner works i'll upload those. But, here's my first work on my tablet :D

Alice in Wonderland (need some feed back)

While this is a work in progress it is also the my final for my Illustration class and I feel that I am almost done with the under painting before I start applying color and the final touches. I am really trying hard to push everything I know into this piece so I would like to get feedback on this.

Bog Lurker Sculpt

Well i got far Enough along i decided to post this guy up and see what everyone though about it.

Still have a lot of work to go on this fella, mainly bulking the stomach, legs, and then adding all the shrooms and tubes to head shoulders and arms. He is basically a Mix between the in game lurkers and the Actual concept art from the Blizzard staff ( so lets start by thanking them for the cool idea in the first place !) since the in-game version has almost no detail really i added a bunch to him and he will have fungus and bits all sticking out of his head and back.

I my first idea was to have him in a running type of motion, but then had a diff idea, and instead he will be standing there looking down as he is and when i get him done i am going to also sculpt my tauren warrior standing there in front of him. ok thats enough yakking, please tell me where and what i am doing wrong ! :)

RR "Dimming Feature Problem"

I noticed after the latest release there is "RR Dimming" as opposed to gamma control. I used it and it seemed to work great however, when in use with the dimming feature there is no video display in video player. When I change videos a brief flash of the video happens but solid black after that. If I disable dimming it works fine. Any ideas?

Proportions and Foreshortening

Hi!

I have problems when trying to do foreshortening and proportions at the same time. I can't seem to find a way to accurately foreshorten something and at the same time keep the proportions the same. I've been looking for an answer for a while now and trying out all kinds of different strategies I?ve seen but none of them have worked for me. :[

Take the head for example . . . (I use Andrew Loomis' "Drawing the Head and Hands" book by the way) I have no problem drawing the heads when they're only moving from side to side but once I start moving them up and down, it becomes a problem. The head seems to foreshorten; when you're moving it up, the chin gets longer and vise versa. My question is how to keep these proportions in tact when foreshortening. How can I decide how much to foreshorten? I've been trying to simply "eyeball it" but no matter how long I practiced, the foreshortening either comes out wrong or the proportions are off. Is there some kind of rule involved when foreshortening? If so, I would like to learn it so that when I start drawing heads (and figures for that matter) of all divisions, shapes, sizes, and proportions, I will know how to take those diverse proportions and foreshorten them properly. :[ I don?t want to end up making a child?s face look abnormally mature when it?s tilting up due to not keeping the proportions consistent.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. :)

Feeling uncomfortable with painting with Photoshop

It was Craig Mullins that inspired me to paint digitally. The funny thing is that my first digital painting (with photoshop, right after dropping out of Art Center) looks better than my recent paintings nine years later. I've been drawing and painting on and off so my skill really hasn't improved significantly. Shame.

I learned how to paint with Corel Painter in CSUF. Well, I fell in love with Painter, except that I still have trouble with blocking the shape with a tablet. (a poor reason to buy a Cintiq)

I tried to paint with Photoshop and it looked horrible, looking like a painting done by a third grader. I got so used to Oil Pastel and Digital Water in Painter so I don't want to go back to Photoshop, except for blocking the shapes with solid colors with 100% opacity.

I wonder anybody out there has exactly the same problems: Hating Photoshop and having trouble with doing precise blocking and painting with a graphic tablet.

Finishing off

i really need to be more patient and take my photos DURING THE DAY. instead i bicker to myself about not doing it right. anyways...

this is my most recent oil, what should i address?

Legends of Norrath Work

So, I'm a newly minted professional. Bit hesitant to post work here...
But, I guess I'll share a bit about myself. I'm a recent BFA graduate who struck it lucky when I got to meet the SOE art director of the Denver studio and I showed him my portfolio. I got a contract and I did six illustrations for the Legends of Norrath TCG. Happily, they seemed to like me so I'm looking forward to continuing to develop while working.
