Hey guys,

Been working on a matrix kinda piece
It supposed to be a organic looking hallway but I think there's a problem with the lighting. Feel free to mess around with the image.
Also about the total... got the cocoons and shit but there's missing something, maybe some wires and other stuff, any help?

Thanx
Jeff

zero replies? well, that's not good. so far i've noticed that all the people rush to reply when an awesome artist posts a pic, but noone helps the ones that really need help.

Where to start...
first, why is the pic black on the right and the bottom? all the parts are in the upper left corner and it all together looks kinda weird. i couldn't help noticing the strokes on that 'black' area. did you turn off the spacing or something? because it doesn't look good at all. if you are trying to work in a scribbly style like Craig Mullins, then you should understand how it should be done. it's not frenzy scribbling. you should know, with a rather great precision, what you want to do. can't just splat colors on it and expect it to look good. i'm not saying you did exactly this, but that's the impression i got. second, the pic lacks information. in the other words, not rendered good enough. is the hallway supposed to have a ceiling?

i suggest you to sit down, think about what you want to draw, lay down some rough thumbnails to pick a nice composition and then proceed to a rough painting. work with very big brushes, get the shapes and values right, and then start refining with smaller brushes. don't waste your time on perfecting details in the beginning.

mhm, i hope this was of any help to you.

cheers.

T : Actually it was a scribble hehe. The right and bottom are black cause I'm gonna crop to a landscape sized image when it's done. Plus I wanted to add a NY scenery to the right.

t4fF : I'm gonna tidy it up when I get the composition right. The horizontal strokes are a good idea though.

VV : I don't get it


Thanx ppl

Tidy it up a bit. The pillars (these linethingies in the hallway) have to be more straight and accurate, I am it will look a lot better.

Add more detail, use smaller brushes, or use a lower opacity for a bettter blending.
Make horizontal strokes to make an imitation of a flat floor, or somthin'.

Composition? What's up with the right part of the pic.. put something in, even if it are only sketchy lines, yet. So we are able to get a picture of the upcoming look.

Add foreground and background stuff. Wires in full black in the fg can come in handy.

Well, don't know, maybe i helped ya,.. hope so.
