Description I'm discovering my dream world again

________________________________________ _____


This started off with an A3 charcoal sketch. I scanned it in to photoshop and rebuild everything... Yes I'm happy with the result. I'm getting better in airbrushing, and that's something I wanted for so long...

Inspired by ~designnrg , comments, crits and favs are appreciated as always

When you draw grass with scatter brush, start drawing it from further distance and move it closer to the camera. That way you can avoid grass overlapping. Cool color scheme btw.

ja, was een relatief quickie voor school. Size was ook iets van 2000px hoog in de originele file, dus dat werkte nogal verrot en frustrerend Bedankt voor je comments

I love your stuff, especially your human figures. My ONLY advice I could give you is to *not* use the prerendered grass stamp - it takes away from the picture generally because it doesn't look right, or natural. Otherwise, I love the use of light.

Exhale-NL In reply to MrsBadExample [2005-03-31 10:40:53 +0000 UTC]

yeh maybe you're right that I shouldn't use the grass brush. I heared people say that before. This piece was more about the idea then the working out of it. Thanks for comment anyways

caleb-case [2005-03-27 12:41:21 +0000 UTC]

excellent work. love the idea.
hmm... maybe some more detail? and the "grass" in the shadows... is a little... off. blend it a bit more.

JawKAtaNa [2005-03-26 21:19:19 +0000 UTC]

the grass is excellent and the lighting on it is very well done. altho the other objects in this piece may need much more detail and definition. they dont fit quite well with the grass. and it might help if u add some references. try and do matte paintings and keep on doing it from there until u get the hang of it, then switch to freehand.

Die poppetjes en die dingen in de lucht zijn wel vet. Ik vind alleen de wolken helemaal beneden niet zo mooi en je hebt wel een beetje te veel gebruik gemaakt van die ps gras brush, Is natuurlijk wel vetter als je het helemaal zelf maakt. Die donkere wolken, die zijn wel chille
Ga zo door

That us very, very, very freakin nice. The only critique I would have is that the colors are sort of desaturated.

Really good. I wouldn't be surprised if this got DD.
