Skull With An Idea, Grant Cross (2D)

[el_martino]

This is a very funny concept! The skull is really realistic.
Please keep on making these themed images... they are cool :)

very nice render. hope you didn't use the eyedropper :/ (to pick colors from the photo ref)

[DuncanLong]

Slick idea very artfully executed. The subtle shadows to the left of the skull work well as does background.

[Grant Cross]

Thanks guys :) hehe I do have plans on making more themed images like these, and other still life stuff things, I do use the eyedropper to select colors for my pallet I also use the color swatches that is in Photoshop I also change some of the colors by double clicking on the Select Foreground Color selected in the icon tool-bar so I can get some of the colors to match or get very close to the same



Thanks for looking

Very nicely done. The skull is quite realistic

The way I came up with the idea was one of my light bulbs EXPLOITED! when I screwed it in my light table lamp WEIRD! so I got another bulb and I looked at the skull and thought hmmm that might look cool if the bulb was above his head like he just got an idea.

Another killer piece from Grant...great job man! 4.9 stars.
But Grant, you know, the exploitation of light bulbs is a good thing. If it weren't for that, we'd still be using candles, and most likely, your painting would have been done on canvas and would have depicted a skull with a candle on it's head, which, let's face it, has been done way too much!
Oh wait....did you mean to say "exploded"???????
Well, if so, that's a different story altogether......
Doesn't matter - great piece regardless!

Great concept but variable execution on details.

As example :

- a perfect skull and an imperfect cut (see no changes in shadows' colors)
- a perfect light rendering for the skull and a quite flat rendering for the lamp


3 stars.

Hope to watch new pics soon,
Serena.

[Jadetiger]

very realistic, looked 3d from the thumbnail. Love the humour to.

[Grant Cross]

thanks all I see what your saying, That cut line drove me crazy crazy crazy really I did that part last. I went over it like 15 times painting over it and starting over and over and I just could not get my cut line too follow he same line as in the pic it really aggravated me so I just left it as is ; (, Capton Aggravation got yhe best of me ,ill do better next time hehee

Nice idea, but the elements of the image do not integrate perfectly. Perhaps some lightsource would help to get the two elements fit a little better together ?

[Grant Cross]

Thanks Photographer , hmmmmm I don't no my bulb burned out ; )
