thundercracker,

I don't know if this might help a bit or not. Sometimes a million people can tell you the same thing but one says it in just the right way that it clicks.

Anyway...

Don't worry abou ...

Glitterbug, leave "/untitled" out of the url.

I wanna play. Damn, y'alls pictures are so good. I know I am making *some* progress, but I just don't even come close to being good right now...

Thanks for the inspiration everyone!

We get Maxim in the US. Thank god!!!

Good picture! Looks very much like Brian Froud's style. I got this bizzare goblin book for xmas by Froud and this picture would fit in very well.

Looks great!

Well 3DS is the expensive one, but looking at the Corel Site just now, I don't see Painter 3D even offered anymore. So, I don't know if it is still possible to get it anymore. I got my copy a year o ...

Krom,

I'm not the best artist, but here's a couple of ideas.

Highlights. The face and hands have highlights, but the clothes have little if any. This would make the forms look more realistic.

Jezebel,

Don't know if this helps or not (Bit on the expensive side if you don't already have the software). I import the models into 3DStudioMax and from there use Painter 3D as a plugin.

That is ...

Dakkan, I have a linux box with Gimp. I've used it a little. The thing is that Gimp is almost exactly like Photoshop while at the same time being nothing like Photoshop.

What I mean is that it can ...

Brue, that's pretty interesting. Just checked it out here at work. I guess you never notice it becuase they become lines as soon as you drag them.

Hmmm...you must have a good deal of free time, no? ...

Looks a bit like Mark Twain?

Wicked, I don't know if this will be helpful, but if you think about it as just a bunch of shapes put together, it makes more sense.

I'm not the best artist, by far, on this forum, but maybe these ...

I wanna play! Mine doesn't look as good as all of yours, but I keep trying.

Well, here's one that I started a while back and gave up on. He ended up looking too clean and saturated for an orc...

Solid: I can't get enough of art and talk of it, but I for one don't have enough time in the day to visit 2 forums like this one. Dhabih's is hard enough to keep up with.

If you could freeze Dhabi ...

Krazy, when I first got my Wacom, I got very frustrated because I felt like a spaz trying to draw with it. It takes a bit of getting used to the feel of it, but keep with it and you'll get so used to ...

Thanks for the crits all!

Ampa: Yeah, that makes sense, doesn't it...not sure why I didn't think of that.

Pierre: I'll look that one up. I'm intrigued.

Bitz and Freddio: Hmmm...that *would* make i ...

Here is my attempt to make a Frazetta-like Christmas picture. If it looks nothing like Frazetta, that's because I don't paint that well...

I started this about a month ago, put it down, but was re-i ...

Bradford: Ah yes, I am definately familiar with Frazetta and Vallejo. An Vebjorn is one of my favorite artists on this forum (there's so many great artists though...).

Spydur: I haven't stopped lau ...

Daz199: Well, the smaller head was a stylistic choice to make the body seem that much larger, but...since there's already been 2 comments on it, I'll enlarge the head a bit.

The legs are wrapped in a ...

Thanks for the crits.

solidtransient:I added some color to the dark side of his body to give it more form and I changed a few strokes on the face.

Awetopsy: Thanks. I'm pretty awful at coloring.

First, I just wanted to say thanks to about 99% of you. Just from reading and looking at the images, critiques and solutions in this forum, I have improved greatly over the last few months. If I can ...

I paint with oils and have used acrylics in the past. I'm not great, so I am using digital (Wacom + Painter) to practice composition, lighting, staging, etc. It's much cheaper than wasting paints an ...

Hey, thanks for replying! I appreciate the advice.

I'll work on beefing up the arm and perhaps giving it a slight bend, although I sorta like it straight.

As for the colors, I'll try to desat them ...

Just looking for anything helpful that anyone can give me to improve this painting.

Specifically, any ideas on lighting and "staging". I'm not horrible at painting single figures, but I have no idea ...

Sumaleth,

Neat story (I'm reading it at work, so of course it's got to be better than...work!).

Good pictures as well. I especially like the dark, moody Sarge.

Congrats! A well deserved award!

C ...

Kore,

Even though the subject is a fantasy figure (a leprechaun) if you want it to look somewhat realistic, you have to use real world colors. Reddish-orange hair is not really all orange. Instead ...

Veb,

Thanks for the info on the brushes! I'll remove my study now.
