Hi there, long time no post :D
I am currently busy with finishing my first "hand painted" picture. I got myself a wacom
intuos 3 din A4 tablet n started to paint like there is no tommorow :D
Im a sucker for Giger n everything that is kinda surrealistic and dark.
I started out with some basic stuff. The background walls were done quite quickly, since they are "made" of one simple greyscale part wich I then duplicated/scaled/rotated to get what u see in this picture. Along with a female body greyscale and a color texture (no photo refference) this was pretty much everything to start from.

about 20 hours later I ended up with what I would consider a "semifinal" version.

but now I face 2 problems. I think the smoke looks kinda fake or just not right. I dont know pretty much for myself. This is btw. the first time I painted smoke so you are free to bash the hell outta me ;) I hope someone has a solution for this issue. The second thing is the sentinel on top. I wanted to "seperate" him a bit from the rest of the picture, wich sticks to the palette. I painted a freakin lot of little red light bulbs yesterday for each individual arm, but when I zoomed out the whole think looked like a christmas tree. So I threw that Idea away. I also got problems with the light wich is supposed to come outta his eye. I think I did a quite good job on the lazer rays of the little minions at cassiopeias belly, but the thing commin outta his eye lookS just plain fake to me. I know it is maybe mainly a question of taste, but I would appreaciate c&c also if it not regards one of my problems.
Glad to be back. You folks keep me inspired :bounce:
Keep up the great work.
Daniel
