smackbringer,
Oh, hey, you’re a local. 
XLNT 3d, Roberto has mentioned you, I think you gave a talk at the local SIGGRAPH meeting? Wish I could have made it.
At any rate, good luck with this ~ I agree, doing new projects is quite useful to break out of the box.
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
Well you should be fine if you have reference shots to start with. You can just a strait digital work flow and it will be fine.
Yeah, i’m really trying to pull out all the stops so that this thing dosen’t crash and burn badly. Anything to minimize failure.
Rebeccak, are you East Coast as well?
Thats awsome, I work about 20 minutes above the DC beltway. My best friend lives in Arlington. Do you ever do workshops or classes locally?
Shows how little most people understand about what goes into making an illustration of that quality. Vallejo spent his whole life developing the style you are going to try to approach. When you start on this piece you will begin to appreciate the mastery of it.
I’d say you should do a kick ass job on the stuff that is up your alley and hope for the best on the poster.
This style is so far from line art its no laughing matter.
None the less good luck:thumbsup:.
Are you sure Rebecca?
Funny, I could swear that you lived somewhere up north. Like Alaska or Vermont.
At least that what I saw on the CgSociety map.

smackbringer,
You know, I’ve only ever done one (this was in the runup to the Anatomy Reviews, I was trying to shake off some rust and see if I could still draw anything, lol) and it was really cool! I’d love to do more, I did this one in conjunction with some really nice folks at ArtDC.org, and it was a blast. Even bought like 14 flimsy wood fold~up easels for the event, lol!
I’d like to try to do something like that more, but it’s hard to get space, etc. Models are less of a problem, as there is the local Figure Drawing Guild, and ArtDC can help me with hiring models (we had 2 the day of the workshop). Roberto was there, as well as Ines and LoTekk, Thalaxis, and a few other locals I know thru CGTalk. What I’d really like to do is teach full~time, but of course it takes time to get that kind of position, and I haven’t yet finished my MFA. But yep, after the CGWorkshop, I’d like to try to organize another local workshop.
Cheers,
~Rebeccak
I absolutely know what you’re talking about. I assured the producer that my stuff would be nowhere near as good but I think he understands that. Close will work in this case. I’m nervous that I might get in too deep that I won’t be able to have a pro bail me out.
Its funny I never could stand most Vallejo’s work. So personaly I would not try to copy it exactly:)
now that we have some background story to your situation, they WIP should be fun to watch. There’s nothing like a fire under your ass to motivate creativity. I was going to suggest finding some backup help around here or something, but that can blow your budget really fast. I got jammed up one night and someone here bailed me out. I didn’t make anything after paying him and he gave me a discount for future work, which I gave him.
It was a lot of fun. I meet some good people. Nice to put a face to a name here. Roberto was much more hostile in person than here :twisted:. Seriously, it was a good night. Hopefully next time we can address some of the marketplace issues that came up.

ROFL…a 5’3" bundle of hostility, eh? ROFL…
Yep, hope to catch ya next time.

ROFL…you know what they say about height sensitivity being inversely proportional to height…:rolleyes:

Yeah, now I see what you mean…:rolleyes:
I thought it was that tempermental artist thing. I never realized that it might be that Napoleon Syndrome. Oh well, everyone knows big things come in small packages.

ROFL…you’re my hero… I’m sooo dead, btw…

smackbringer, if all else fails, you can always buy Poser and a few models. Set them up and apply the Vallejo render plugin filter for rendering. I think Daz3d made that plugin.
