canadians everywhere!

[art7sayan]

Not bad man! Just one thing , I think that you got a lil' mistake in your shadow, why the shadow goes under his tail? It looks like that the beaver's tail is on the ground but without this shadow it's not the case!
...nothing else to say, welcome Twisted Imperia! :wavey:

Is it just me or are the canadians invading the forum???

..Nice one!:thumbsup:

[jeroentje]

Nice little beaver...

[Twisted-Imperial]

thanks for all your support!

hey art7 your right about the shadows, i did those at like 5 in the morning when i was finishing it up and throwing together a cheap background. well i started working on it canada day but ah well

anyways i think i may fix up some of the lighting problems when i do an actuall background.

what does everyone think about the color scheme?
personally im not sure if i like the bandana that color, tell me what you think

its greatly appreciated!

and yes the roumors are true... canadians are taking over the WORLD! :D

Peace!

GWAHAHAHAA, (that was really lame.... sorry...) I'll c-ya around.....

just wanted to add some history to the peice, just incase anyone was wondering how i went about doing it.

well first i cleaned up the rough obviously, i ended up redrawing in every line anyways with a consistant brush, than i added line weight.

The next step was just coloring it all with a base color that i would work with, also trying to get the proper colors i wanted. Also the flag, what i did was; build a flag in maya than textured it with a canadian flag, took a render and traced it off by hand in photoshop. I think it turned out rather well. As for the beer bottle, you can see i originally had one drawn in but when i tried to color it, it wasnt looking too good so i just did a search found a bottle stuck it in there rotated/scaled a bit, and than traced off some important lines on it to give it more of a drawn feeling.

Than on to the shadows, just a multiply layer of 27% black for the first shadows and i think 52% for the darker shadows, also having the rendered flag from maya helped place the proper shadows.

Thats it! pretty simple but very teedious (*sp?)

PEACE!

Hey twisted... I was looking over the beaver, and I noticed something w/ the beer bottle... since its supposed to be tilted wouldnt the contents be to a side as well? :shame: shame shame shame... j/k maybe that's what you were going for? I dont know, just a thought....:bounce:

I don't know if I like it T.I. I like your talent, but... I'm canadian too, I hate Joe and I hate Molson Canadian. I drink Upper Canada, Steam Whistle, Amsterdam and Big Rock Beers. Those are all Canadian and damn fine beers... 10 times better then Molson Canadian, it's BEAVER PISS. You know Big Rock don't you, you're from the oil province afterall?

... but the drawing is good though, and I like beer, and I guess...Sheeeeeiiiiiiitttt... I'll drink Molson if there's nothing else.l:beer: :thumbsup:

[LucentDreams]

I AM. West Van here (one block east of west van actually so downtown I guess) GOing to VFS, and I hate joe and Beer in general too. but nice beaver (jsut wanted to say that and actually mean a beaver)

How'd you do such a good maple leaf, as I notice its n;t in the ine art, I assume you took an image and displaced it or something

[element412]

me froms YYC...
mmmmmmm.....beeeeer...

[Twisted-Imperial]

heh great input guys! thx keep it up.

asuka, yes ur right i didnt change the contents of the bottle when i stuck it in there, my original beer was gonna be open, also the perspective is different on the molson canadian bottle as well, it looks like its almost going through his hand, problems i m probably gonna fix, along with the flag pole.

gamoron, yea i hear yea man, im not a big beer drinker and i was originally gonna go with kokanee but i changed my mind because to most ppl molson canadian would be more canadian feeling than big rock or kokanee, but i can change it as well. and yea i do know what big rock is lol i do live in calgary, i did a report on them in grade 9 or something too heh!

I guess its more a statment to everyone else im canadian, proud of it, and most people would look at a beaver and understand canadian better, i dont know personaly im pretty pleased how it turned out, but everyone has their say!

for the flag, i thought i mentioned it earlyer i modeled it in maya than took a canadian flag textured it on rendered it and traced over in photoshop.

thx for all the feed back guys! ur giveing me great ideas i should have a fixed version some time soon, that flag poles starting to really bug me...


Peace

:beer: Do any of you guys know of a link to the Molson Canadian commercial with the guy on stage talking about Canada and how Canadians pronounce things? :wavey:

[Gamoron]

Are you serious odybear? Try looking for it on www.winmx.com or morpheus. Try Joe or I am canadian video. Sheesh! I think that guy's a geek I don't even wear plaid!

[Twisted-Imperial]

lol yea id have to agree with u there i dont wear plaid either hah! hey guys check out my challange!:

http://www.cgtalk.com/showthread.php?threadid=12855

thx for all the responce, beacuse the challange started up i probably wont have time to fix the beaver, ah well another day

[Rob3D31]

I think its funny that in a attempt to promote canadian pride and create a "Canadian" image we see a flag wavin beer drinker....im not just talking about your piece, im mean the whole " I am Canadian" thing...all about drinking beer and waving flags...very American to me.

I guess it could work for any country...

America...
Make the beaver an eagle, the flag american and the beer a Bud....maybe give him a shotgun too.
Japan...
Panda Bear, Japan flag, and Sapporo,
Austraila...
Koala, Aussie flag, Fosters....
Mexico...
Chi wa wa(sp?), Mexican flag, Corona

etc etc etc...

[odybear]

I think the commercial is hilarious. Yeah I know anyone that wears paid gets written off as a redneck. That's my opinion anyway.

[Rob3D31]

either a redneck or soemone stuck in the grunge band era.

[Twisted-Imperial]

yo rob thats a real good point. hmm im not quite sure what to think of that one yet... ji dont know i think im gonna have to think about it for a bit but really good point.

peace:)
