painting

[PANZER]

at first..
it's tooo blurry....
can't seee anything out of it...
what is it actually?

[Carl]

Hmm. I guess its some sort of walking...organism....with this shell....thing.....on its back. I'm trying to get that shell thing to look shiny, and for the lower body area to have a transparent membrane over it. I'm just trying to get better at lighting and basic painting skills:) :wip:

[PANZER]

keep up... do more updates...
refine it more..

I like it.
A animation colored like this would be really cool!

[Carl]

Going at it with a different approach. Stiil very wip:

[PANZER]

it makes me dizziy. :hmm:

[Carl]

Well, yes, it's blurry. I haven't refined it yet :wip: . But the basic idea is there, and I wanted some formal crits before I went into it anymore. I'd like comments on which of the two looks people like more. Also, what looks good/bad and why.

[Carl]

another update. Added some highlights/more shading:

Try to make it look more real. Here's how I go about doing this:

First, I imagine what I'm painting as if it's a real object, like a photograph of something in the real world. Then I make my painting look as much like this "photo" as possible.

Hope this helps.:beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:
