Description Guess she overslept....

Digital painting in Photoshop 7. This one's been taking ages to finish - I'm still not happy with it, but I just want to get it over with so I can move on. I'm quite happy with the zombie flesh effects, though.

You can see the stages of this picture here: [link]

wow, all your pieces look as if they were painted on canvas, either that or that each pixel was placed one at a time painstakingly. very nice FAV!

In this case, I scanned in a page from an old newpaper I found in my gran's house (from 1900, I think), and used that as a background layer to paint on; I then overlaid the image on top of the painting to get a nice grainy effect, whilst painting a few strokes on top of it for emphasis.

So a bit of cheating was involved...

meh...it was cheating from something that no one living now would have been able to reconize. besides you did alot of stuff to it i dont even understand...of coarse i'm reading this at 1:30 in the morning and i dont have an ultimate of photoshop but it sounds complicated and hard to do so way to go! btw thanks for the explaination, if i read it again i might be able to apply it to my own work...

voyeurism, and masturbation. Often the two coincide.

In that case, I don't know whether to be worried or flattered that you want to watch me making out with this particular lady...

anyway, you forgot art!

cypherx In reply to kingzog [2004-04-23 04:03:09 +0000 UTC]

oh yes, art

I don't know if what I do is really considered "art"
I once looked the word up in the dictionary, and it said something about "skill"

that got me slightly worried

thomasxarcane [2004-04-15 01:02:48 +0000 UTC]

The concept is simply brilliant here! I must admit I am not used to see such a thing. I feel like your style is different here. The mood is different also. I think this has to do with the face that's too much detailed compared to the rest of the scene. But I can't blame you, I do this all the time. In fact, that effect suggest the idea of a dream. One focal point and the rest being vague...

This leaved me thoughtful...

kingzog In reply to thomasxarcane [2004-04-17 22:13:55 +0000 UTC]

Nothing so deliberate on my part - I simply had the face finished, but couldn't be bothered to finish the background to the same standard! That and the fact that I was drawing it in the daytime with the sun behind my monitor, making most of the painting appear black! I looked at it again at night and there was a load of detail I couldn't remember painting, revealed by the lack of ambient light!
