"PAINTOVER PLEASE" - painted crits on demand - with Steven Stahlberg

#1401

Never tried this thread before, but that’s because I never had anything worth posting.

This is for my short animation at the end of the year-- you can ignore the grim reaper character as I’m only concerned with the actual scene.

I don’t know how to explain what I’d like to communicate, it’s meant to be an eerie night with a brilliant blue moon overlooking a world in between life and death.

If you’d help me, I’d be very grateful :slight_smile:

Cheers

PS that’s animated falling snow, not stars :wink:

The Polynesian looking woman (I didn’t put highlights in her hair, that would help too)

#1403

Monco what is happening in this latest one? Is that fire rising from her arms?

#1404

This one
the problem seemed to be mostly perspective. My version is of course still not completely correct, I definitely think you need reference for this one.

#1405

The moonlit graveyard scene.
I think you have a style that is too comical and cute if you want it to be really creepy. But, more realistic lighting will definitely help.

Wow!! Thank you SO much. You are absolutely right. I actually do have a reference but only used it in the beginning – and I haven’t been able to understand enough about anatomy to really understand what I was looking at. My perspective is definitely off! I really appreciate your guidance here – your image shows me what I need to be looking for and how to make the adjustments necessary for her head NOT to look so distorted and…strange! After feeling so frustrated, I now can’t wait to get back to work…yippee!

You. Are. The. Best!!

Yes its supposed to look all wrathful! I tried to work her into the background, but make her stand out by using a contrasting colour

Hi Stahlberg, it’s great to talk to you!
Here’s the picture (it’s huge, so a link might be better) : http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/087/6/c/You_want_to_touch_me__by_SNGPSo.jpg
Thank you!

Hello again Stahlberg!

I’d love some crits on this one. Focus was on skintones, but everything is messed up (even my monitor).

Thanks for your time!

#1410

Two more… (message too short)

#1411

Oh! that really looks much better! now that I know my mistakes there, I’ll try to avoid them next times.
Thank you very much! :smiley:

#1412

Thank you very much for the paintover! It’s a huuuuuuge help! :smiley: :smiley:

#1413

Hi, I’d like to some heavy critic on this piece. Please show me what does to mean to be 'finished artwork. :slight_smile:

#1414

Hello,
Some help would be quite welcome on that one. I tried to do stylized character (size of the hands and the feet, head…) but I have some troubles with the torso. It doesn’t really look “fleshi”…

#1415

Hello, Fabulous Stahlberg!!

This was the second painting I attempted and while there are parts of it I like…something seems just really - wrong - with the anatomy on her face.

I was hoping to revisit and correct her but I still can’t figure out what is wrong! Would it be possible for you to help me along?

Thanks SO very much!

Wendy

#1416

Two next ones, sorry it’s taking longer than usual

#1417

The last one . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

#1418

Yipee…thanks so very much!! Wow, you are really (really!) helping me to learn perspective in portraits. What a big difference your subtle changes make. I’m VERY appreciative…once again!

Wendy

Hi, thanks for the previous paintover. Here is my 2nd piece of environment painting.

#1420

hi stahlberg, i hope you can help me with this 90 percent done work
title= illegal street racing
the red car is the main one, there 's supposed to be a car crash far away in this scene,maybe the explosion is not good enough. and the relection on the main car looks awkward,i did refer some reference to fix it,but i couldnt get it right and maybe the overall image is not impactful enough? hope you can make it better
thanks in advance , you rock!!:cool:
