Wow... I saw the black/white concept you uploaded earlier on, but this is even more beautiful OWO...
I love how you did the grass, really natural and the colors are great!

How do you paint over stock images? I always wonder how people does it, and I had no idea how to use stock images

haha thanks XDD

hmm this is my 1st attempt so its not very nicely done.. but what I did was gather the awesome images I need and edit them to the pose/ silhouette I want.

Then I use the default brush to paint the shape black and add white as highlights~
and after that, i add colours to them~

hmm, so first after you place the stock images on where you want on the artwork you paint over them? Is it like this? OWO"
My painting skills are super crappy though, going to need lots of practice before something comes out looking decent in the first place XDD

Hehe, thanks for the advice!

At least your painting is alot better than mine, I can't paint Orz
So for now UI is your main? I'm still not good at UI designs... so hard TAT

Soft style? As in the coloring style I used normally for CGing? I still think it's quite hard compared to others though But thanks!

Otoyomi In reply to MinamiAki [2012-12-26 16:26:43 +0000 UTC]

UI is hard, there's still alot for me to learn on that @W@"
Adding colors is fun! I now enjoy coloring alot more than I was just starting, I used to hate coloring as a kid XDD

Hehe thanks! I like yours too =3=
There's still a long way for me to improve though XDD
