Thanks. you guys make me blush. Truth is, my life has not been going so well in the last couple days, and I feel like posting this here is a step forward to make it better. Because, you know, what I'm about to post is a complete garbage, I failed miserably at putting together a keyshot scene and painting it over, but you…
Thanks @Doodlok You may be right, I'm not sure, the water nymph turned out how I wanted it to look like, but I'm open to suggestions? Some times I miss stuff for looking at it/caring for it too much and am not able to disconnect from it right away. ~~ On another note, I'm exploring character design on a simpler painting…
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…
Aha, thanks guys. I've not been as active as I'd like, real life duties keep reminding me I'm a grown up, I have to look for a job now, no matter the skill level I'd still hope to get. Hopefully I can make a portfolio revamp that is more consistent, I'm hoping some freelancing gigs can be of opportunity to pimp my online…
Definitely going in the right direction. I dont know about other people, but personaly Im not interested at all in those kind of material breakdowns, they mostly make things look fancy without really adding any useful information. dont take my word for it though, Im just one person, others might find it useful. Personaly,…
So, I can't say the feature on the front page did not inspire me to create more. It did. I've finished the water and fire nymph, I was ready to make a earth and wind versions, but at the end, I didn't like where the earth design was going. There was stuff I did not figure out in the sketching stage and I thought it'd be…
@miguelnarayan "Mythological" is a compliment I'll take any day, thanks man! I like that you've added light to this. It gives the piece a ton more depth. I would push the lighting even more then what you have here. Warm up the highlights and cool down the shadows even more, also make the area just at the edge of the…
I don't mind your cents at all @krraej I agree with you, I did not have such intense training in organic and character design fields as I did with perspective drawing, I really wanted to have that foundation right. The boat design I am particular 'ashamed' of, not really ashamed ashamed, but I had no clue of how to render…
Thanks @Ged and @lotet I need to revisit some fundamentals of light and shadow colors, thank you for the book, I've heard of it. I've noticed that most times what I find appealing are the shadow colors in a image, I'll look forward applying it when painting, I just tend to be afraid of doing it, its easy for me to get the…
If you don't mind me dropping my two cents here, in my opinion, your strongest suites are your environmental design pieces (though you draw a lot of man-made constructions and almost no environments with only organic matter) and your prop design pieces. If you want to specialize in that area then that's cool, but if you're…
