[DigitalSol]

Amazing work Glenn, you have overpassed yourself with this one, congratulations. :applause:

eilidh, some really work there, a strong piece, your technique is pretty cool.

Here is an update for mine

C&C are very welcome

[daWinky]

Morning everyone!

Glenn - I'm really amazed to see how your piece is coming along, it's fascinating to see the close-ups and watch your progress

SaraD - great work with the face as always, now I'm curious to see what you do with the pelt...

eilidh - pretty much impressive for a quick copy, I like it

Enrique - your work with this terrible hat is as accurate and clean as the rest, respect again for your work with tiny details and your patience - can't wait now to see the colored version...

Well, concerning patience...I've lost all of mine with this Bashi-Bazouk, so I declare this version as the final:D ...

Have all a nice day!:wavey:

[Mu]

Sabrina - very nice presence of the fabric in the jacket!


I where about to go to Germany for the firs game, but I couldn't bacause my work :cry:, but every day I watch the games and I will be there in 3 days :D , I think that Germany have all to get the cup, you are who played better from the strong teams, I think that we surely will be at final quarters, from there I dont know.



Hombre, where in Germany are you going to be? Got tickets? Tell me everything...:)


Glenn,

there's so much detail to get lost into when viewing this. Wonderful.


eilidh - God, I wish I was that efficient...:cry: Great work...

[Mu]

worked on this area in the time between coming home and the start of Argentina vs. Serbia/Montenegro...:D

[eilidh]

Thanks for the input, everyone :)

DigitalSol, daWinky (and Rebecca) -- pretty much everyone who's taken that Bashi-Bazu is a brave soul in my eyes. ;) Good work! DigitalSol, I can barely keep my eyes off the folds of his coat. It has captured the silk's feel perfectly.

Mu, this looks very good -- is it Painter? I think I am having some trouble making it out.

Rebecca, has it been mentioned anywhere what the choices for OFDW 18 will be? Has it been determined yet, or are you still open to suggestions?

[Rebeccak]

Enrique,

Looking great, let's see that hat finished! :thumbsup:

Sabie,

I think you did a great job here, please don't forget to post your hi~res version as a link as well. :)

Mu,

Nice progress on this, I would mainly suggest to concentrate less on textures and more on value structure. Texture is quite simple to throw on top at a later time, what will really make or break the piece is the quality of the value relationships. :)

eilidh,

I am still open to suggestions (and links!) :) for pieces ~ usually I find Master Works from ArtRenewal.org, since they generally have large / hi~res images for copying. :)

Cheers, :)

~Rebeccak

[DigitalSol]

Sabrina, Thanks so much for your comments, I must finish this one within these days, because Im loosing my patiente too :D, your looks great, congratulations.

eilidh, Thanks a lot for your coments, hope to see you at 18's

Rebecca, Im on that right now :D

Hey Mu, this is the plan, Ill be there in about 2 or 3 days, :D, Im going with 3 friends, since there are no direct flight from Mexico to Germany, we will go first to Spain, where I have a brother living, we will take him too, and we expect to be there for Mex vs Portugal, I bought the tickets 1 year ago one Fifa's page. If we pass to the next round, maybe I will stay some more, maybe till the next 2 games, I have no enough money to stay more :sad: today plays Mexico, VIVA MEXICO!!:buttrock:

Here is where Im at.

[paperclip]

Becca, don't forget about your promises of 'humans and animals' for ODFW 18!

(I suggest durer's hare)

[Mu]

and we expect to be there for Mex vs Portugal,

Enrique!

That match will be in Gelsenkirchen which is only 20-30km away from my place (Dortmund)!

When you are back from your match we could/should/have to meet in Dortmund, watch games together on the central square on these giant screens and party together...

that would be soo nice.

Make up your mind and let me know, man..!

:thumbsup:

[DigitalSol]

Hey Mu.:bounce:

That should be great, amazing idea, will e mail you when Im in Spain. Thanks a lot, I think that we would be alone, hehehe, that are the rewards for being a CG talker.

A bit sad I thought that Mexico should win against Angola, but 0's... :sad:, let`s see what happend on the next one.

[SaraD]

I want to live in Germany too.... *envy*
Here´s my update. Since I can´t skip it, I better start with the skin...

with oils on the computer....no fancy tricks on this one....one layer,no grid,
and a lot of plain old fashioned ... EYEBALLING...:scream: :)

Hi ...MR MU ...THANK YOU.... A LOT OF DETAILS ..LOL ... I GUESS:eek: .....like one of those jig saw puzzels with ten thousend pieces, and all the pieces have colors that are really close to each oter..:scream:

Hi Rebecca and Everyone

Worked on details of elderly woman on left. Trying to get colors as close to the original as I can using my own eyes and own judgement. Bouncing around and refining details as I go along.

The reflections on that pelt are already very convincing. Don't forget to post detailed shots!

Enrique!

YAY! that's gonna be soo much fun...:bounce:

You can send me a pm, an email, or an ICQ message.
Mexico had it in their hands today, man, I guess they figured they will get at least another point in their game vs Portugal and that this would be enough for the round of sixteen.
There were some Mexican fans on our square watching that game, but they had nothing to celebrate...:sad:

[SaraD]

A detailshot just for you, Mu :)

Heya guys, this isn't a World Cup thread ;) ~ for that, there's this thread (http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?t=366666). And I would recommend avoiding saying that one country is better than another. ;)

Cheers, :)

[Mu]

And I would recommend avoiding saying that one country is better than another. ;)

awwwwwww.... can we say at least that one country is better than all the others...?

:scream:


Ah, we will have to wait til after the 9th of July for that...:D

afgal - you haven't stepped in this too far so my suggestion is: do it again without tracing because you will see a lot of good come out of that exercise and get a much stronger feel for your strength and weaknesses along with training your observational skills... all things that tracing does not provide...:)

[YMS]

Well done, everyone, on your incredible efforts in this workshop, and thanks to Rebecca for always being helpfully in the wings.

Here she is - my final Mona (actually Zorn's mother; I hadn't realised :) )

I can't say that producing it has been at all easy, but I managed something resembling a finished product, and all with no tracing or use of the eyedropper tool - all colours chosen by eye, and all body distortions are mine alone :)

Okay... I made a few final tweaks. Built up some of the darker areas with the background color set to soft light. Also adjusted the overal levels as well as smoothed out some of the highlights.

Hehe, thats how its supposed to be. Thats the point of the exercise really.
Congratulations everyone for finishing. Becca, weeeeeeee, finally! This has been an awesome exercise. Just to make myself feel a bit better I went and revisited our earlier OFDWs. yep, we sure have made progress!

Hi!

I realised that today was the last date some three hours ago and rushed to finish this. It's still a little messy in places though.

In a bit of a hurry again, can't wait to get home and check everyone's pieces.

Lol, do you mind posting the hi~res version as a link? :D It would be great to see an 800 pix width version here as an image, it just prevents people from having to scroll. :)

Hi,
I got to the OFDW late this month. SO much great work in this thread 0.0 !

but here she is, my version.

[Rebeccak]

womanonfire,

I think this is looking great! The main thing I would recommend is what I mentioned earlier, which is to possibly introduce a bit of dark blue into the cloth beneath the figure. Doing so might really complement the skin tones and bring the figure to life just a bit more.

Cheers, :)

Here is the last effort for this, I couldnt be able to finish it on the limit, but at least is something, is a Pacific Bashi he have not rifle :D,

We'll here she is...Been really busy the last few weeks but I figured better late then never. I had hoped to ad some detail but alas, I ran out of time :P



C&C + paint over welcome!

about 10 hours total

PS.

[Rebeccak]

Radical_Seifer,

Hey there, this is looking good, but I still think it has a bit to go before being considered 'finished'. :) The main thing that you might refine are the edges ~ the black of the background is jaggy and not meeting the edges of the figure. Don't go for speed on this, slow down, really look at the overall piece, and evaluate the areas that need to be fixed. Mainly I think cleaning of the edges and really getting a nice contrast between soft and slightly harder edges will do the trick. A small detail is the right big toe, which looks a bit cut off / crushed.

Looking forward to seeing your update! :)

This is the wrong one. I uploaded the wrong picture. Ill get the new on up asap with a few tweaks. Quick question though, What would you say is the best way to clean up soft, undefined edges? Just got over them in the eraser? Thanks for the input!

[SaraD]

Well - this is how far I will take him :)

[Rebeccak]

Radical_Seifer,

No worries! :) Just relink your piece when you can. :)

SaraD,

The pelt is stunning! :applause: Only real crit is that the ground, by comparison, looks relatively plain. Perhaps a quick texture thrown overtop could break it up a bit? Up to you. :)

At any rate, would love to see an 800 pixel and hi res version linked here so that your piece might be added to the SPOTLIGHT thread. :)

Cheers,

~Rebeccak

[SaraD]

I know about the ground, and I started to put some texture on it - and felt I couldn´t be bothered anymore :blush: I´m soo tired of him now... maybe I´ll fix it before I send a high-res.
And - I´m waiting for you Bashi.... :rolleyes:

[SaraD]

Couldn´t leave it. A little more texture on the ground.... Better? Enough?

Hi botched,

wonderful step-by-step: bookmarked for sure! :thumbsup:

whenever I look at the following area of the painting I feel sick. I can see nothing there. It's just as if he had tested a little bit of abstract art in a hidden area of his canvas....

:banghead:

http://muratkayi.de/cpg/albums/userpics/10002/chaos.JPG

increasing values thus creating some highlights where the value relationship was accurate already.

been playing with a brightness/contrast adjustment layer and worked on the abstract bunch of spots in the lower right corner as well as on a few other things

[DigitalSol]

Botched, Thanks for the tut really interesting.

Mu, Your painting is looking pretty good, the additional contrast that you are applying is really taking it to other level, great work there, sometimes you must to forgett your logic and not to paint clothes or object but shapes and lines, I think, great work overall, can wait to see it finished.

[Mu]

thanks Enrique!

I dont know if I will post an update tomorrow because I will watch Brasil vs Ghana in the stadium tomorrow and the next day I leave for a little holiday and will be back one day before the final...

...so next update on this could very well be after the WC.

[Cyanid]

***posted in the wrong thread***

[Mu]

toned down the contrast a bit, because it was a tad too much in the previous wip.

worked on the incomprehensible sack/bag/rag thingy...and the hands, and the hood. And the wall.

will it ever end?
