My first real painting...

Postby Emperor Kedzuel » Sat Dec 09, 2006 8:25 pm

I thought I show you all this. This was actually fully painted and rendered in Photoshop, using my new Wacom Tablet. If you don't know what what one is, I suggest Google.

Anyways...I hope you all enjoy this.

And for those who are on DA...



I know, it's not perfect, but it's my first try.

Mmmmm.... looks pretty good.

On the other hand, a lot of your lines look too jittery (though they look good when shrunk down, blown up like this they look pretty mediocre). Something about that curve on his face frome his smile looks *really* weird.... like his cheeks are caving in, y'know? And he's missing a fang.

Okay, and lay off the filters. Some people can use them and it looks really awesome, but they use them sparingly and are skilled with making them look non-filter-ish. But most of the time (like here), they *really* cheapen the look of the picture.

Finally, this picture really needs some deeper shading to make it 'pop'. As it is, it looks pretty flat.

That said, I gotta give you props for a snazzy compostion and some really nicely done chompers. As you said, it's not perfect, but it does look pretty spiffy. :)

Very impressive. Like the shine effects that you put on the gums and teeth and not to mention the scare on this Godzilla-esque monster.

The glowing effects on the ends of its dread-locks also seem pretty good. :)


On a side note when I saw the title my first painting, I was under the impression of a art piece done with real paint! :shock:

You must show no mercy, nor have any belief whatsoever in how others judge you... for your greatness will silence them all!
