mystikal Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 [URL=http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/fantasy/-_deep_shade_-.jpg]click here to see it.[/URL] It took me a long time, but it still sucked. I didn't like her face that much because it is, as usual, distorted XD I tried the self-shadow thing, and I did the best i could to scan every corner and see if I should put shadow in it. It looked okay up till the point when I started to shade the leaves. I don't know how to shade leaves, so i use a brush and tried to make it look bushy. Now it looks like a green sand puddle with glowing things in it. A friend suggested that I could do a dead tree if I don't want to draw leaves. I think I am gonna redo the background and make it into a dead tree instead, cus the leaves are really annoying me. And the picture is kinda pointless and has no interesting objects in it. I am not good with details ._. *drools upon magnificent background-ed pictures with lots of details and small decorative things* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conpiracymonki Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 [b][size=1] Lol. You're too modest >.> I wouldn't mind spending 20 hours ever to pull off a picture like that. And the fact that they're all CGs gives you extra kudos too ^^'[/b] That branch behind the girl's hair is.. an odd shape though. Very unbranch-like oO;[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarK DeatH Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 I didn't mean what program, but what tool... Like, brush? lasso? what do you use? Because it is really neat dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikal Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 oh, I used lasso to select and fill the area, then use brush to do all the shadows. I used one fo the dry media brushes to do the leaves,and the rest of the shading is all done by the fading-looking brush. So OAE is a group or something? What do they do?

Sara Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 [size=1]And I actually really like the leaves. Very June-ish. Summer and sunlight. ^_^ June is a good month.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mystikal Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 i don't like june o_o its weather stinks. but I am glad that the sunlights actually looked like sunlights, not blobs of weird looking glowing bugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaola Su Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Well, it depends, in June where you live what season is it? Summer where I live, but I know where Dark Death lives it is Winter so I guess that changes everything! But I love summer! But I also agree they look very June-ish!! But I like it!
