11 Oct 2005Aye everyone, my name's Maria, and I happened to join just over a couple of minutes ago, kindly invited by Franklyn. Hope I don't get stuck anywhere, do tell me if I do.
I'm an amature artist who has only recently tried CG Art as a serious work. It still challenges me, but I'm slowly tackling it. Getting into Photoshop was a particular milestone for me, after finally admitting (secretly to myself!) that Paint Shop Pro cannot hold the quality I am looking for anymore.
There were thoughts about trying to start learning 3D modeling, but I feel that I am not quite ready for that jump yet. I want to develop myself as a traditional artist primarily.
I write in my free time, and practice crafts (newbie-level beadwork, stitching, and masks). Strategy games have a special place in my heart.

This is one of my works which I am most proud of, a reference-based Photoshop 'painting' of an Old Nepali - I had the photo in an another file, and I looked at it to match with the one I was doing in a different canvas. No kind of tracing was used, even the colour was modified before being applied to my work from the photograph. I'm crazy that way.
I wanted to print it out when I was done, so the canvas was very big, 2550x3300 pixels.
I'd love to hear some advice on it, use it for later works.
The detail of the nose, cheeks and eyes area is here. I started from this area, so it looks particularly detailed in my effort to make it look close to the photo:

11 Oct 2005...hooollllyyyy CRAP!
I realize you've used reference....but to not have traced that??? Your color tones are superb...and with a little bit of tweaking/sharpening, the 1st image could easily pass off as a photo and/or trace.
My only suggestion is that I think the clothing needs darker shadows. If you compare the shadow under the guy's nose to the shadows around his collar, the ones under his nose are much darker (making the face seem much more contrasty than the clothing and therefore breaking the seamlessness between the two).
Anywhoo...keep it up! And welcome to the forums! -
11 Oct 2005Yea her work is quite stunning and in time i think she will make an even better 3d artists she just needs to be poked and proded here and there
.
i think that with the tutorials and workshops we have here you will be able to form a base in 3d if ur still interested feel free to add people to ur msn and badger them lol. we're all friends here. as for the painting keep at it ! it has an extreme amount of potential. you should consider submitting it to the next de' artiste (or how ever it is spelt) after u have finished the environment and mood of the scene.
hope to have a few more talented 2d artist flooding these forums with beautiful work. oh btw tyson why isnt ur heli crash plugged on the front ? -
