Description I had a urge to paint something shiny. I googled a picture of (what the imagename told me was) a 1963 Ford Falcon Convertible for quick reference.

Very quickly the lack of a clear idea was working against me and the urge to paint something shiny went away so I stopped. It's roughly 40 minutes.

I recorded most of the process so you can see how to fail at painting when you don't plan ahead! [link]

Look it's masterchief!

Man, it's crazy how you got it to look like chrome. I was never good with color and now I'm trying to teach myself PS and use of color. Man, it's nuts!

Beautiful work. I love how you were able to make his armor actually look shiny and metallic. The video you linked with this deviation was actually very informative on how you go about creating your digital paintings.

I like your work in general, but I think you really out do yourself when you post up pictures like this. Very nice.

First things first: "Look it's masterchief!" Kinda fun after reading that journal about constructive commenting! ^^

And, I really like the fact that it doesn't have any lines or anything at the edges, it looks smooth to me, and I really like that you didn't put the person in the middle of the picture.

This is going straight to my favourites. Bravo!

...It reminds me of mast-...

Nah, its brilliant well done. The reflective surface of the armour coupled with its smoothness is a good touch, add that to the desert scene and its a brilliant mix and the black seems strangely attention grabbing because of it. And out of interest, is that a aircraft carriers shape looming in the distant?

...although it DOES remind me of this idea of a sort of active camoflauge I saw on some show. The idea was, using mirrors to reflect the surrondings, it would make the object underneath the mirrors invisable.

Worked very well until they moved the object around I believe.

Chest plate just reminds me of C-3P0 from Star Wars, or Kryten from Red Dwarf. I guess it's a pretty clichΓ©d look in science fiction robots and armours. Not that that's a bad thing, it gives it a sort of authentic feel.

That's beautiful... Just wow. Highly impressive.

I think the head, and the face specifically, are extremely good. The shine on the head and shoulders looks very accurate and the fact that it's a bit rough just adds a real nice feeling to it.
