Joims' Random Tangents of Art Work

I meant more dimensions on the 2D image, meaning make it rounder, darker, more contrast in the shades?
 
oo there was me tlaking about the brush he used for the second one! gah silly me :rolleyes:
 
oh... uhm... I thought you said dimensions lol. I really do skim read too well. Second time Ive done that in the past hour. No, the grass brush tool, default brush
 
I reckon the actual tree is aboutfinished unless anyone can see any radical buggereis with it ??
next im going to put a living plan on it :d

A living, changing plan? Bit like the road map to peace thingy? :P

I like it, it just needs to be more round, it looks flat in the centre of the largest part of the trunk
 
Dont forget the dead rebels...and add some combine assassins!!!! :P
 
you are obsessed with bloody assasins int ya!

no im not putting any in i know what compilation i am planning to use so meh :P

was meant to be plant aka ivy! major typo there lol :P
Click to expand...


Heh, I know :P, but should still be more rounded. And speaking of a plant, it should be a dead plant, weaving (or not anymore :P), it's way round the trunk of the tree and up through its branches. Also some skulls or something at the bottom of the tree.

With some vines on it tho it aint finsihed yet :P no i dont want skulls ! tho i might put some kinda resistance person camping out or summat maybe a goudge in hl2 spray and some ammo :P
 
RESOLUTION! sjeesh, If these high resolutions where justified because it enables you to see more details then I will say, Great go ahead!
But obviously these are more sketches then anything else, and therefore can be reseized to something that is around 600 x 600 or 800 x 800 pixels max.

Anyway, great that your are experimenting with your tablet, its a great tool and it takes some practice to make the movement natural for yourself. I have the pleasure to work with drawign tablets for years now and can still say that I have not by a long shot, utilized its full potential.

What more can I say then, scale those pics down so we can see them without scrolling (you don't want us to suffer from RSI now do you ;) )
And keep using that tablet, keep practicing with it until everything feels natural (like you are drawing on paper).

Good luck!
 
hehe, I can see it fine due to my nice large TFT :D, but I agree :P

And about the art work...
Did you change the opactity, because you can tell where they overlap the edge of the tree, and the vine seems a bit too blurred. The curves of it are also uneven (but as you said, the vine's still a WIP). The bottom part is fine, but nearer the top, it doesn't seem so smooth
 
yeah i reduced the oapcity cos it was too bold and looked to stark against the tree but yeah its a wip and i will get around to adding details to everything as these are jsut teh base colours :P
 
and evil i have no idea why i used so a huge res for them :P but i dunno how to take the images down :P

new pictar for you all :)

Looks nice :)

To scale the image down, (your using photoshop right?) go to Image, then there should be size, or dimensions or something, then scale it down there. I like the vines :D

My only gripes is it looks a little flat, just by the way its shaded. Maybe it you give it a bit more contrast from the dark side to the light, it may help it look like it's actually round and 3D. The only other thing I can say is make the shape a little less straight. I know it's a WIP :p ;)

Other than that, great work ;)
 
the image is scaled down :P well the tree is

thats 20% of the original size :P
it is 5000 5000 not sure why but i just like big res' :P

was 10000 10000 but the psd was 250 megs with one layer :S so i thought stuff that and went down 50% :P
 
Hehe Jimmeh, already been at him about that for ages :P

I like the vine now, looks much better. Like the extra bits you put on, but of course as can easily be seen, they don't join up :P
 
so your saying you want em joining up init!

yeaq i see where this is going ( that was jsut an experiment yeah : shifty: )

The real vines are being done like now yeah, now :shifty:
 
What about m3h corpse? :O Well, hope you at least include more striders, then...and blood, Blood, BLOOD!!!!!!! :D
 
I still think a skull at the bottom of the tree and a few bones would look really good :D
 
thats working well joims ..i hope you have the veins on a new layer because u need to define a tree bark texture to the tree ... and work on the shading at the base a bit more thi reminds me of a tree that i did lol
 
:) its all on sepreate layers ;)

yeah i wana add detail to the tree but im not sure how t o do it any help ppl ?
 
Same way you got the texture onto the vine?
 
:( that was by just random hatching of white and black n i dont think that will work and the viney tendrils is a duplicate layer gausian blurred :P
 
Hehe. You can do the bark by finding some picture of a tree and making that into a texture (somehow :P)
 


A har i thought i know ill try a bubm map tutorial but the way the bloke did it mean i couldnt paste into the linked mask thing so i just resorted to yes u know it


Squigles
 
The third one looks the best, but for this tree I would look for something more plain and dead
 
Looks great Joims, I really like the citadel. The tree's texture is really good, I like it alot, but it still looks a little flat to me. At the bottom of the tree (where the roots are coming out) it looks three-dimensional, whereas the rest of the tree looks flat in comparison, and the bark looks way too smooth. If you just get one of those rooty things (not the vines around the tree) at the bottom, and have lots of the running up the tree, it'll look at more..erm..tree like :p

Citadel looks great, can't wait to see it all finished :D
 
:S everyone is saying make it less flat but i cant see how!! i think it will lok right once there is a back ground in ! jsut gotta do it :P
 
yea i am! jsut when i complete hl2 again cos i need some specific screenshots eg of striders and crapped up stuff :P burnt out stuff
 
i dont have a clue what it is :P

i jsut saw a logo with curvy bits form my graphics card box and decided it would be cool to draw something like it,

and that basically happened :P
