[Our Future...]

Focus of teh project

What do you mean by atmosphere? For some reason atmosphere makes me think of the setting. But in my unprofessional opinion the background isn't nearly as developed as the character.

VeeWragg responds:

Atmosphere can have more than that as a meaning in an image. It could mean the mood of the picture, the overall feel or emotion, not just 'the setting'

That can be a good thing, the focal point is the character, you eye is drawn to it because of the contrast between the detailed character and less detailed background. =D

[COTT: Rescue Mission]

I'm jelly, ur pro

I love the lankiness of that guy closest to the viewer. Ever since cowboy bebop I've enjoyed lanky characters. Because of that show and others by that directer I just put lankiness together with being a bad-ass. The helicopter being tilted does make it feel like it's moving, but in my unprofessional opinion I think it adds to the dynamics of the picture.

I went to the website but there wasn't much there. Is the project still in the early stages of development?

keepwalking responds:

yes the writer is still building up the website :).

[Sleep dragon]

Sorry but I'm that guy

Who's not going to critique anything but instead ask a question about the process.
Textured brushes or overlay? Sorry but I'm a noob and I've seen plenty of paintings like this and still can't tell if it's done with textured brushes or overlays.

duplex2 responds:

In this case overlay, a mountain a turtle and a rusted metal. Just brush your picture to get the general tone, use the texture trying the diferent mixing methods and play with the opacity, erase the parts of the texture that you aren´t going to use, and brush again adding details until you get whatever you desire. Usually when you overlay the texture in your painting you will see some inspiring shapes in the chaos, is a good exercise try to work with these shapes.

[BG]

That's a swell background

Is it for anything specific?

Sev4 responds:

Just for my portfolio ^^

[Now New and Improved!]

Chickenlump responds:

No.

[oil pirates]

Hey it's lenkobiscuit on the fp again

Man I sure hope to someday not suck at art like you don't. Also...haha there's another joint like in your tiki pic. That joint made me go back and look at your tiki pic, I remember when that was on the front page and I saw it and liked it...good times.

lenkalamari responds:
