Good work so far. I think I liked more the young version, I don't see much young characters. About the pose if you want to pose a character and go back to the original pose use layers, create a layer, pose the character and work on it and you can toggle on/off the layer to go back and forward with the pose, but with layers…
On a Mac mini I bought specifically for Affinity soft few years ago it's nothing special speed wise. Bet it needs true video card . I unsubscribed from PHotoshop for a half of an year but eventually went back to PS. Affinity Photo has few superior features over PS 1. Much speedier work in 16 bit not taking forever like PS…
so im working on a fighting-game in unity and i want to achieve an effect like this for our weapons. we have laser-swords that look like this, and it would be totaly epic if we could achieve a trail effect like the one shown above. actualy it has to look somewhat like that, not exactly. BUT it has to work on mobile. i dont…
I do my paint in layers, its not so much finding an image and overlaying it. But instead finding a collection of ingredients that build the foundations of what you want to achieve. I also like to do all my layers solid, like painting. I try to avoid using overlays or layer effects. This has massive benefits when deriving…
A large bulk of my coloring process is to make a fill layer, give it a black mask, add a 3D distance generator, then a light generator set to multiply above it. Finally I often add a paint layer on top of those two to manually tweak the mask as a final step. Many other things often change once I have that setup, but my…
Heyo! I think the lighting could be improved: Generally there seems to be a disconnect between light sources and light/shadows. The pillars don't seem to cast proper shadows onto the connecting surfaces. Also looks like you have shadows of ceiling elements on the ground, which is weird as the light would have to come…
- @kite: Would you mind telling me what you did exactly (is it just new layers with colors or are there some effects)? You say it took but 10min,but I could have sat there for 2-3hours and wouldn't have gotten that far.. =( The background image is from the profile backgrounds used by Dota. I think this was from Ancient…
Set the AO layer as Normal blending mode at 100% opacity in Photoshop, then go to the Channels palette and CTRL+click any of the channels to make that into a selection. Invert the selection. Add this selection as a layer mask to a pure black solid colour layer (or dark blue, whatever colour you want your shadows). You can…
There's a much easier way to do this in photoshop. What you do is create your individual images as black and white layers then double click on the layer to bring up the 'layer styles' dialog box that looks like this: Notice the three check-boxes that say 'channels' next to them under opacity. If you uncheck all but one of…
Agreed. Jason commented on this in one of the threads... [ QUOTE ] Many of the pros do not work in layers. They work alla prima....directly painting into one layer. There is no shame in that sir. Some artists feel using layers is cheating their process. Crazy alla prima people!!! I will see if I can dig up some process…
