This just gets better and better. I’m all for cartoony realism. Love it.

I think the big eyes work great too, gives you that feeling I always get looking at chihuahuas, that their eyes could just shoot right outta their head any second. :smiley:

I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING!!!
the dog’s face is just INCREDIBLE !!!

#66

How do you do displacement maps in PS (or is it in the Manual?) My favorite parts are the blown tire, her eye shadow and those veins. Funny stuff. Roll on. What’s the dog’s name?

:applause: :applause:

#67

Sleepless, the dog’s name is Lil Kirty obviously :wink:
Great work here :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

#68

There was a thread in the 2D forum not long ago where someone used the displacement map to create wrinkles on a pair of pants. I forget the thread, who started it, and where the tutorial it pointed to is at. But I did find this tutorial which seems to explain the process pretty well.

I’m at work now so I don’t have the page I looked at here.

The dog is a purebreed and as most purebreed’s names go … it has a history. See if you know who this dog has been named after. If you find it, you’ll know the dog’s short name. hehhehehe

This chihuahua’s registered name is: Elzie Segar

Thanks for the tute, I’m going to have to read that a few times before it will begin to soak in. This an example of why I’m not even going to mess with 3d stuff until they make it easier to paint the models. My little brain can only digest some many new items at a time. Who knows what will be happening in 5 yrs with the 3d texturing methods?

I guess that this thread you said was mine. Did I guess wrong?

But the tutorial on this page you suplied is great.
Not really artistic, but it seems to explain everything clearly.

Great work you have here.
Great idea also.

Try to not compress the jpg this ammount
it’s too pixelated

Yep, that’s the one. Thanks Bruzundanga … and I’m really sorry my memory failed me on that one. That was a good thread.

I know about the pixelation problem also. I’m not too worried about getting a high-res until I’m close to finished. Since these are WIP, I’m not worried about posting up the clearest image … just something that gives you an idea of what the whole picture is looking like.

Oh … and thanks to whoever put that thumbnail on the main index. I feel as though I’m getting my 15 mins of fame now. heheheh.

:thumbsup: :buttrock: Awsome work man!

#75

That’s great! I can not stop laughing!!!

#76

Looks done to me … or at least I think it is. Any last minute critiques?

I’m having problems with my ISP, so I can’t post up a high resolution image yet. A couple angry phone calls should fix that and I’ll add a link to this thread tomorrow.

#77

Oh … one small detail that’s probably lost in the image. Here’s a close up of her charm bracelet. Her 3 food groups are represented here.

#78

Just great…allover!!!:applause:
U got my vote!!!:thumbsup:

Hahaha, great drawing, very funny :smiley: My only crit would be the lighting… it’s a bit too “normal” for my taste, I prefer more dramatic lighting, something like this: (stronger shading killed the nice and detailed veins but on the other hand it makes the “burden” look heavier…)

#80

:surprised I really wish I could do that. Lighting is not one of my strengths. Hell, I’m still trying to figure out how to use my wacom not like a mouse. Your paint over really gave it that creep show feeling, which is far better than mine. I’ll play with it some more, but I don’t think I’ll be able to do that with the time I have left.

Thanks Timo.

#81

Wow timo did a job on the lighting huh???
It is definately more dramatic that way. If you do end up lighting like that, I would brighten up the face of the chihuahua (spelled right?) to make it pop into the foreground. Great job, Love this one alot.

#82

No changes made since last post.
This is just a link to a high-res image.

Thanks to everyone who helped with comments or kept me going on this one with their kind words. I’m pretty happy with the final result, but overly critical at the same time. There are things I’d probably do differently if I started this one over again.

Good luck to all the entries!
