Hello!
So after buying a new Wacom Intuos 5M and giving my old Bamboo One to a friend I've done a hand painted texture attempt. After being like 6 months without practicing I think the result is not bad. The Intuos worths every € it costs. Please, give me feedback and critique.
(I apologize for my mistakes at english :) )

    Convert it to 3D (with normals, specular etc.) and even better would be to use it in a small scene to see for which objects are those intended.

    The style looks nice but I can't tell what the second image wants to be ... is it rock, wood or muddy earth? It needs more definition or a concrete design direction I think.

    Great job on the stone tablet, I love the worn edges, and the slightly saturated blue greys you have used really make it pop, although its looking a bit putty-ish, perhaps make the highlights a bit sharper/brighter in certain areas? Really try and sell the fact that it has been carved into by someone and it still has sharp chiseled stone edges.

    The wood on the other hand could use some work, it doesn't quite read as wood, the colours are there but all the deep heavy cracks and crevasses are weird, and its in need of some delicious, delicious wood grain up in thur. Perhaps take a closer look at wood planks reference while painting. Also the polycount wiki has some good wood painting tuts.

    I like your painting style Mikel, its really appealing to look at, its just about nailing the materials now, keep it up! Paint all the things! :B

    Just trying the new tablet and texture tests for the moment. More and better incoming :)

    It's wood. How can I better define the material?

    I'm no expert on hand painted stuff but generally there are swirls and knots in wood that give the viewer a better idea that it's wood - like there's a grain running through it.

    You have a lot of shapes that suddenly stop up against each other and I think that takes away from the feeling of natural wood flow.

    Amazing critique! Thanks mate. i'm always afraid to add sharp highlights because they tend to screw all my paintings. My fault I guess. About the wood... I was not as inspirated as I was with the stone. For the moment I'm trying to mimic tutorials on the web. The next is developing my own style. I'll try to apply your advices. Thanks again :)

    Thanks dude. I'll try to observe the wood around me and mimic that shapes. :thumbup:
