Man I love this painting! XD it's awsome!!! Love his clothes and the spherey black thingy...

btw.. I've been very curious, what exactly is the difference between using Photoshop and using Corel Painter? I have PS CS2, and I know where to get a good deal on painter, but what exactly is the benefit of both / each?

fevereon In reply to Jianre-M [2007-07-30 19:43:20 +0000 UTC]

Hi Jianre!!!..

actally, the brushes work a bit different between Painter and photoshop.. it feels like (to me anyway) that photoshops strengths are in its edit tools and customizations of brushes, and painters are in its brushes.. painter's feeling less intuitive to me, but is smoother with its brushes and blending tools. Photoshop's more "hard" in comparison, but with enough tweaking (which again, is more intuitive) it probably can create similar results..

i think that with both programs, its all a matter of how much you are willing to experiment!

Greetings and Salutations! still hanging good since last we spoke?

I see, well then I might just need to get painter and experiment! because so far I really like the painting effects in Photoshop... *has been borrowing a wacom* I think through my school I can get painter for like $50. or so... so It should be worth a try!

That's probably one of the best designs you've ever come up with Fev. IT'S JUST LIKE--IT'S JUST LIKE--A MINI-MALL!!

But seriously, that blade is a wicked cool idea. If I were you, I'd milk the concept and crank out another image with this guy, people will be asking where the heck he came from!

fevereon In reply to XCBDH [2007-06-20 02:41:32 +0000 UTC]

one step ahead in that aspect there rx XD

actually, i really took a liking to this character, and aim to incorporate him into the same universe that Ebon's in when the convention season subsides

It's work like this that makes me want to quit my job and dedicate my waking hours to working with Photoshop and other programs just to get an inkling of what it's like to be this good!

Fantastic work!

fevereon In reply to VirtuousDarkness [2007-06-21 21:28:11 +0000 UTC]

geez, i think that a big step is parting ways from the standard round brushes, and starting to customize them, theres sooo many possibilities with the things

(good luck on your DC jury application btw )

Gunmetalblack [2007-06-19 04:32:10 +0000 UTC]

Nice work! I lie the pose and repeated swirlie motif that runs through it. It gives off this quiet yet extraordinarily badass vibe to it, and it's doubly striking given the muted colour palatte. Excellent work! Very well done!

hey thanks Lewwww .. for the print format (and cuz i'll be going to an anime con, i saturated the palette a bit, but i'm happy that you think that he's still effective without it
