[tiagohoisel]

Excellent as usual.

May I ask what do you use the depth of field image for? Just personal reference or do you use it in some way?

Actually, I used depth of field in this image. For that, I created an alpha channel named "depth" with the information representing the distance each element had to the camera translated in a grayscale value. Using the "lens blur" filter I can select that alpha channel information and use it as a basis for the blur. Therefore, it reaches a more realistic blur since it varies the intensity of the blurring according to depth.

That's really clever how you did the simulated depth of field.

Love the joined dots. Even trying that on a house-cat will result in a messy surgical removal of the offending limb... :)

It's a masterpiece regarding story telling. Your characters are so intense, that you focus on them and get the pencil thing first after some seconds. I really laughed when I got it!

[victorllanos]

Hi Tiago, i saw your work one year ago and i said to me, %$"#"#!$#% some day i´ll can do something like that, my inspiration was Minotauro.
Sorry by my english, is not good but i´ll do my best!
I am a graphic designer from Venezuela, with special skill since i was born, drawing and painting, but i did forget for many year the art of ilustration because it made me feel so frustrated. My last four years i had re-take it again, step by step, without the negative feeling and making the huge effort to enjoy from my mistakes.
Once again, congratulations and thanks for share the process. If you don´t mind and have a couple of minutes i´ll apreciate your consideration about my work.

Cheers.

Hi dear Tiago
you did this just like a 3d model. choosing special angel and nice perspective made me so interested. how is your workflow? and how much time did you spend for this? http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g34/304034/304034_1298061028_medium.jpg (http://features.cgsociety.org/newgallerycrits/g34/304034/304034_1298061028_large.jpg)

Title: Chico Bento
Name: Tiago Hoisel
Country: Brazil
Software: Photoshop

This is an illustration I did as a part of the book MSP +50, which is a tribute to the greatest comic artist of Brazil, Mauricio de Sousa. In this book 50 artists made their interpretations for the universe of the Monica's Gang characters, Mauricio's major creation. My first idea was to do a scene with almost the entire Gang, keeping the character's original design. I changed my mind, after some friends suggestions I decided to make Chuck Billy's (the original name in portuguese is Chico Bento) cartoon because it portrays very well a reality in Brazil.
In this image I tried a different resource and used Photoshop's Lensblur to obtain a more realistic blurring effect.
To do that, I created an alpha channel simulating a 3D Depth field pass.
