Painter IX + Photoshop CS, wacom, 1.5-2 hours (I lost track)

You can’t be a hero without a cool cape -


#3

YIKES :eek: That’s excellent, Brittany. Nice use of a warm palette with a few hints of cool hues. The reverse S-like composition scores big, too.


#4

great sketch

brittany–what type/size tablet to you use?


#5

@daniel - thanks :slight_smile: , I really like S-curve compositions, I guess I should use them more often.

@zach - I use a 9 x 12 intuos 2 tablet - I prefer the larger tablets over the smaller ones

Fighting with a creative block right now: trying to paint but it just aint fun- I see everything I do as it really is: crap. Last time this happened with oils and acrylics and I haven’t touched them in a year now… oh well. Happens to everyone, I know, but don’t you hate it!

Brittany, that’s great, even with your high standard!

goddamn aiptek, oC, 50 min.

CS2


#13

i was split between a fantastic hero and a practical hero - so i merged the two

EDIT: almost forgot, Sketchbook Pro + 70 minutes.


#14

LOL, very funny mecos!


#15

haha, i really like your Link Vahn and this great chicken!!


#16

Great responses everyone! Hey, ShamanMonk, welcome and neat drawing. It reminds me of Dragon’s Lair. Mecos, great and funny drawing. Vahn, yours is my favorite so far. Great sketch and textures. Noodles2go, that’s sweet and who hasn’t put a colander on their head? ivandisimoni, great characters. I actually like the dude on the right in the second sketch. Brittany, your drawing is awesome but what is really neat is your consistency with your style…and yet no two characters look alike. Fantastic job! And zyrq, this is actually the scene I think of when I hear the word “Hero”. Nice little requiem and it doesn’t even look like you are facing an artist’s block. Great job!


#17

Hi, good work from everyone.

Vahn, the colors and brushes you used are beautiful

here’s mine (1h, photoshop)


#18

Great Work everyone!

BrittanyRichardson, what kind of brushes do you use? It looks really awesome!

ivandisimoni, just great!
merrick, brilliant face and colour use!
Vahn, I totally agree!


#19

Painter… 30 min?

Who would be more than a mere hero than one who defends an anciet temple?


#20

55 min pencil/photoshop
This is also my first entry in the DSG…

I went with twisted hero charachters…If you think about it these are the ‘cool’ kids that highschoolers nowadays strive to be like…lol ya I have a lot of crazy ideas
