Thought i’d post this screengrab too… It’s dead close to the last post but a bit closer in. ANd i forgot to mention the face paint. His face ahs got soem blue paint on… cause he’s in a circus… just an experiment… thought it might look nice with his hat…?

Hi there duddlebug,
Wanted to be another person to tell you to HURRY UP! Ive been watching your piece come together for awhile now and it looks like you have something great coming together here. I really hope you finish as I can already see this thing colored in my mind and it should be something wonderful at the end. Time always seems to move so fast. Great job, and goodluck!

Here’s it’s current state… I’ve done some more work to the fur and his skin, and painted in the shoulder and fingers.
I’m trying to keep the painting fairly loose so i can enjoy playing with the brushes and seeing what effects and textures i end up with. Not all the metal bits will be yellow. He’d be made up of bits of old vehicles and scrap, so ther bits will be different colours.
I decided against the face paint!!
As i said in the last post… i’ve been working on the orangutan and adding detail to his face and fur… and alos the fingers and shoulder.
My layers are a bit more organised but messier than usual… i’m pushed for time!!!
I’ll mail some more WIP in a few hours… and the n another couple of images before i go to bed. By that point i’m hoping i’ll have ‘broken the camel’s nack’ as it were… and have very little to do tomorrow other than tweaking and adjusting.
Back to work…
I’m trying to keep the painting fairly loose
What i meant by this was that i’m trying to keep the actual brushstrokes fairly loos. I’m gonna be using a lot of the linework (although i’ve already maske a lot of the linework in the fur) so that obviously prevents me from going mad with the brushes. But i am trying to get lots of texture and brush marks in the image by using loads of PS7’s brushes. I still haven’t made any custom brushes for this image though…
Laters…

hmmm… keep making spelling mistakes cause i’m trying to type fast!!
‘loos’ should be ‘loose’…
duh…

anyway this is looking great.

Just thought i’d carry on chucking up screengrabs… this is the chimp cannonball who’s mounted in a cannon on top of the orangutan. The big orangutan is pretty useful for that kinda stuff… he can lift anything… support anything… shine his headlights for the other monkeys when he needs a spotlight… and even hold the net for this fella when he gets fired out.
Although sometimes he misses the net…
And needs a head repair…
Which has made him quite bad-tempered over the years…
Anyway… gonna watch the rest of England vs Switzerland… i reckon i need a break before my eyeballs frazzle into nothing. Does anyone else find themselves getting closer and closer and closer to their monitor as they’re working…?
cheers eupee!!
i had that same problem… everything was running really slow and so i had repeated mails trying to get the replies to submit!!
i’m gonna put up a couple of pictures now… then watch the rest of the football… then work until early tomorrow morning and post some more…
thanks again…
