Description ok i made some huges efforts to make one with a low contrast , to learn what softness means .
as you can see , i still got a lot of work to learn that

no the " original " is very soft , but i kinda prefer that destroyed one so ...


this is my friend and he will kick your ass if your not sweet with me !

comments and crits welcome ... if you dare, muhahahhaaaahhaaaaaah !

you made a basically black and white image aiming for low contrast? XD i do like it lots tho!

If you want to try softness start with a neutral background instead of black, or black bg and a neutral background of the main head and build up the highlights and down with the shadows.

thx for your advice mate, in fact i usually started with a dark red or dark grey background. it was not for technical reason but more cause i found it easier to visualise what i wanted to create from a black canvas.
in those days i was doing things with 0 artistic knowledge and i spent days on paintings that could have been done in 20mn ...
hopefully i ve learned a little since then and your advice might comes at the right moment as i m going crazy with backgrounds



plus on this one for some reason i had to print it, and i realised that most of the contrast was lost on prints. in the end i ve done a mess with levels and stuff so the print was ok. but on a screen now that i look at it it s not that great.

anyway i m always happy to get some tips thx.

je ne sais pas trop, on m a beaucoup parle de frank pour une autre dev , et pas seulement sur DA [link] . bon on m a aussi dit que je faisais des vagins .... donc je peux etre que super content qu on trouve une ressemblance a frank le lapin plutot

merci pour ton commentaire, et j espere que tu vas proposer des trucs a toi bientot, c est le plus interessant de DA, de se faire psychanaliser a travers un travail

It's very Giger-esque - you should try to do more with translucent layering of layers... :fav:

Check out Giger's official website [link] I'm sure most ppl are aware of his work - he designed the 'Alien' donchaknow!

And his name is pronounced "Ghee-Ga' not 'Ghy-Ga' as most ppl think he's a measurement tool for radiation

i had a book of Giger some years ago , but someone stoll it as almost all the good things i ve ever had ...

one more time you re right , the more i do those stuffs , the less i use layers , after one month on photoshop i was hardly using 2 layers , after one year i couldn t do anything without 25 layers
( my best was for a kind of media player skin where i used 125 layers per page with 8 pages now with the subfolders of layers of photoshop cs it would have been much easyer )
and now i only double the layer so i don t have to save my work all the time ... i am now a very classic painter

but i know what you mean , like a background , some multi layer playing could really improve my work and add depth to it .
actually all i ve done was only motivated by some kind of awaked dreams with no attention at all to the fact it could be watched by anyone else but me . so it s not very ... attractive

i can t say i will do it in my next dev , but it will slowly come , like the rest . i m still a newbie

thanks

I like the nose and the area around the nose the best. The horns remind me of smoke. Very nice job.

thanks , i m wondering if i try to make it better looking ( it s now too contrast and the top is still blurry ) or if i start a new one with the same technic to be sure that i can do it again ...

i guess i will let some time so i ll be more objective on what i should change .


thanks for the glomp thing but i wonder ... it says i will lose my soul if i don t glomp 4 people , do you think i ll have a free soul if i glomp 8 people?

interesting... the softness gives it an air of Giger... I like this new direction in your work... I think it adds dept to the image itself... keep up the experimentations

giger ...

i try to create masks that are not only different in the design or emotion ( even if the emotion is often the same ... ) , but also in the way i "built" them , and each time i learn a little something , i use it , just to see if it s interesting .

thanks you very much for that so encouraging comment

doing works like me is quite simple , i ve started from scratch something like 3 years ago , and all i ve done for 3 years is experimenting photoshop and having a lot of nightmares

the ant technic , but it starts to give interesting results i think
