@Lukitscherie: I built the 3d model from the drawings in the second post, then surrounded it with those super simple box buildings to match a composition sketch that's so rough I might as well not post it. After rendering I dropped it to low opacity and drew over the thing. Here's something closer to a final, along with…
This would likely have the same problems that the refraction shader is going to have, the problem is a shader like this that needs to distort/alter content after the whole frame is drawn, which means it is very difficult/impossible to render these effects as overlapping elements. This is my understanding of it anyway, I…
To get multiple views of same model in viewport just disable edit mode (right click model, click 'edit' button or press T) Now each time you LMB drag and drop in viewport while in draw mode (Q), it will place your current model on the 2.5d canvas, you can continue to position it using move/scale/rotate (W/E/R) until you…
Hey Cotter, this is turning out real nice! Going with what Shotgun pointed out, I still think her head needs something to draw more attention to it. By toning down the highlights on the armor covering her mid section, you have increased focus to her head, but it's still not enough. Right now my attention is drawn…
Tinman, I agree the basic line work & drawing of spawn needs help. Considering I drew that about 8 years ago I am kind of suprised I still keep it around. BUT my 2D section is pretty weak right now. #2 is a close up of Calibretto from Battle Chasers. I should have made that more clear. If you are not farmilar with the…
In the spirit of the "less talk, more art" mantra, I'm just going to copy and paste what I wrote in GD... "I've been busy with school this past year and haven't produced much (any) art, but lately the creative juices have been flowing and I've decided to commit more seriously to my artwork. I think I may have been a bit…
Hey Miguel, i think you have some cool ideas going on in your concepts. So far your cityscapes look quite appealing, especially the last one gives a good amount of information/detail that an environment artist could use. Did you make thumbnails for these scenes, or just started straight ahead and worked on one piece to the…
If you're inexperienced, particularly in terms of traditional drawing I'll suggest reading comments I had offered on a couple of similarly aligned posts from people seeking guidance where to begin: Starting to learn to draw, i feel lost from start, how to start. (scroll to 4th reply) Some help getting started (scroll to…
Well I'm glad you can't take both at the same time cause then you would be defeated, since they take too much time to get any work done and also learn new things with the medium. Drawing is a bitch to take if you don't know how to do so already. Why, because you'll be comparing yourself to other students that know how to…
