@KiwiHead: Right now your guy is totally black which leaves no room for us to see the depth on those parts. If you start introducing some subtle gradients we'd get a better read on the forms in the black areas. Also people tend to tint shadows to blue/purple to help soften them. Very few dark objects are solid black in the…
It doesn't line things up for you automatically. An example of my workflow would be... Paint some brick guides use offset where the guides dont meet up, MAKE them meet up use offset again until guides are nice and tidy and tile when I use offset repeatedly Repeat process with paint. It's worth adding I only use a single…
@Faye Hey, it's actually quite hard to find (good) tutorials for handpainted textures. But try to find some on youtube. I made one as well, on wood! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLHB6kkCZmY Studying other people handpainted textures also really helps (I leanred the most by doing that). Look for ways to make details and…

@tomenjerry It looks good so far, if it was me I'd take the screen there and do a paintover in photoshop real quick with it in pure greyscale mode just to try to differentiate the material types and forms a bit more. The metal could stand out more, same with more contrast on the wood (especially if the glowy thing is…

The specs are too dark for what it is right now.. could you turn that layer towards overlay and opacity to 50%? Try to stay away from using pure blacks and whites in handpainted textures. Use blue-er hues of the base color in shadows and use slightly orange-yellow hues of base color in highlights. Then there is the bounced…
Hi Everyone I just finished a hand painted Bomb Thrower for one of my assignments. I tried to work in the same style as WoW but I noticed I was struggling quite a bit with the metal. My metal is a bit more realistic then the more rough and stylized way in WoW and I just couldn't get it right. Does anyone have any…
From my experience with working on game assets is that jpeg is never a good idea.The problem with jpeg is that it creates all these unwanted noise and colors like in the example bellow. Yes formats like .png and .targa are a lot better but they are most of the time pretty big due to the fact that they get almost no…
Tried to do a paint over for you. I usually like to place a sun some where to remind me where I want the sun light to come from. then take the base color and then pick a color above and below that. Depending on the angle of my sun I will paint light areas where i think the sun would hit and darker areas where the sun…
