My one complaint about your pencils is they're so damn faint that I know I'm missing half the kickass details of your pieces.

I think the one with the woman eating in her kitchen is great.

thanks steve, and good point on the pencils, i increased the levels in PS so stuff does get a wee bit "lost", glad you like the ninja breakfast shot is from last year im trying to move things along wiht my structure and human studies

this is a piece i did up for kicks , the armour is based on maximillan armour form the 16 th century as is the stone work, the content, well i'll say not more, wink wink, nudge nudge !!! :wink:

this is an image of OLGA from metal gear solid

done as a study of bright light etc

and thanks for the comments on the last piece

With all those windows, it looks like all those light sources would have been a pain to keep track of. Looks good!

Posted: **Mon May 29, 2006 12:21 am**

thanks steve, the windows were kept simple, its just another steping stone on my way to getting used to digital as second nature

this iamge is handmaiden from star war knight of the old republic, love the character, a non "OH SAVE ME" female character,

hope you enjoy

here is a semi tutorial , just the image set for a work up for the head in the shot below, this is how i work in cs2 with out line art, , i rough things up first to get placement then i refine to make sure i have things in the right place and away we go , paint , ok there's more to it than that , but ill have to take some time out to explain it in detail if anyone's interested, man being altruistic takes effort;)

click the link since its rather wide and would throw out the page settings in most browsers

http://homepage.eircom.net/~defcombeta1 ... %20one.jpg

this is where the image is at the moment, the bg is damn rough right now and need heavy refining to make it work but there's something there i feel

hope you get to look at this steve , it should give you some ideas etc , you never know since i think you got a tablet dont you .

Yep, I picked up a tablet a few months ago, so tutorials always help!

Pretty sweet artwork. There's two there that I'd love to just sit down with some colored pencils and go to town on. I'm one of those folks that just like to sit down every once in a while and color for the heck of it.

I got a light box for my birthday and I've been getting some practice in with it. When I get time I'm gonna get some posing pics of someone and see what I can come up with.

I've got a few things over on photobucket. Mostly early stuff, so it's a little rough. Nothing as awesome as the stuff here.
