something good to do, helped me a lot when I was painting diffuse maps back in the day: try setting your material to 100% self illumination. The idea with painted diffuse is you want to paint in the lighting. (but only on older style models like this one). you have to do a lot of squinting, and looking at it from the…
All this is mouse drawn in a gimp and mostly using 1998 version of Picture Publisher 8. Trying to use gimp more for obvious reasons. Comments/criticism welcome. Since this is my first real texture, I am still learning. I am not an artist and haven't attempted to draw anything like this before. Took me about a week+ from…
Fix the hair, it doesn't look right at all. It could use additional layers and some transparency masking. You might want to change the color to a different shade, this one is complete eye rape. Consider this or maybe this instead, and if you're going pure diffuse - paint in some more shading.
Ok, so I got some time to mess around with specular. Basically, all the shading detail I did in diffuse was in vein? Should I of used the specular to highlight the model with light for me instead? Will try to get back to you guys with an updated model. But, my harddrive decided it wanted to have bad sectors, thus having to…
Guilty, still a drawing though. Yes sorry, entire thing is draw and modeled by myself. The only thing I guess you could say I used was an Emma Watson drawing I used as a reference to draw my own eyes, nose and mouth, as projected it onto the model. Tablet like an ipad? For drawing? Are only the expensive ones worth buying?…
If you're just starting out, I recommend losing the photo-sourced face and painting it yourself. It'll help you develop some much needed skills as well as matching in bettwe with the rest of the model.
Sure, Its sloppy, though. Edit, the bottom right boot is not suppose to be there. Its suppose to be under the top left boot. What if you're not an artist? :( Hmm, not sure if I still understand what you're saying. Main character could imply something like a Mass Effect game, or do you mean like TF2 main characters? I know…
