Shark Encounter, Simon Lissaman (2D)

[SpaceTik]

really nice job on the shark dude, fish looks a little pasted on tho,. maybe if not so well lit it might look better? or some colour??

anyway nice job!

[jody]

great! I like it! nice colour and interesting expression!

[RLyons]

the idea is not a new one, but the image is very swish.

[zilla]

fantastic pic! the way the light hits the shark, you should put in a big shadow being cast down over the little fishy!

[MoonVisionStudio]

Looks like another day at the office! Nice painting!

I have a couple of suggestions. The bubbles look too much the same, vary their size and shape, bubbles are never perfectly round in the water. The water reflection highlights on the sharks back could use a bit more work, maybe they should be more on his back then on his side, that would give him more dimension.

Good Job!

Great colors! Reminds me of finding nemo!

[Simon-Prime]

Thanks guys!

I must admit to a certain amount of inspiration from Finding Nemo, so spot on Paperclip!

I should probably work on the little fish a bit more. Now you mention it, SpaceTik, he does look a little unfinished. I know I have to work on the ripples a bit more, as I'm not over the moon with them. Ah well, practice makes perfect!

:thumbsup: had to laugh. good stuff, very well done. like the mood and style

[swarding]

Awesome work. Your style is like this sureal blend between photo-realism and total cartoony. Love it.

[ramy]

very nice. It's fun yet still impressive. I like the caustics on the shark. I would play with that effect some more to make it shine a little more....other than that very nice.

really nice on the shark, but it's true the fish loks pasted on - considering it is under the shark (looks like it should be under it's shadow, it's real;ly brightly lit and looks like a flat cartoon fish.

Other than that, really nice work, that's one angry shark!

[almaghool]

[MKStudios]

This is my favorite piece in the gallery. :bowdown:

What really sells it is the reaction of the smaller fish. Brilliant!

[PLATE]

It has all elements needed for a cartoon, this image is a perfect example. Professional work!:applause:

[liuqiang]

Only Photoshop？:surprised

[Common Terry]

Fun and well done piece!

That's one big sig.

[Simon-Prime]

Only Photoshop？:surprised
Yep, only photoshop was used in the rendering. I'm experimenting with Painter at the moment, but haven't done anything worth showing yet.

[Jason Park]

Great stuff! I like the way how you drew the shark in between its realistic and cartoony form. :)

[The GOT]

Awesome work Simon! I really like it, and the water is so real looking... those light rays/streeks bring back memories! :thumbsup:
