I love it. Great use of shade and color. It looks like it's coming along nicely. The only crit from me would be the shadown on the gums. It looks like the shadow edge would be a bit irregular becuase of the shape of the gums.

Cheers

I've had blind dates like that before . . .

wow! looks really good to me. very smooth, very slick. The only thing I'd say is to make sure you don't light everything too evenly. Can't wait to see this finished.

King Lono · Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2002 3:15 am

king, what kind of brushes are you using and stuff like that for this picture? I have painter 7 and don't really know how to use it, I want to be able to do stuff like this...

So cool

King Lono · Posted: Mon Mar 11, 2002 2:27 pm

The Magic Pen - hey thanks man! i need to do some up to date skins. im slackin.

SpeeDFX - either the (camal hair round) brush or (fine hair).. those are the two i use the most. i use a lot of watercolor too.
just keep jacking with the opacity until you feel comfortable with them.

Dr.ZuLu - thanks!

Those deep-socket eyes rule!

Very interesting alien you've got there.

It's cool because to me you can't really tell if it's posessed or if that's just the way that race looks.

The nose looks a little skewed, but then again, this guy's all mushy. . .

amazing... I'm seriously impressed...

looks to me like he's grinning in some smug sort of way... might be the hands that give him that look...

thats photoshop right?

EDIT: disregard question...been up doing papers...

Judging by your question, I think it would make a lot of sense to have a look at all the posts before you post ...

paltsi · Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2002 9:04 am

love it... great colours

napalm · Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2002 7:29 pm

mMMmm yummy yum! yeah love the desaturated colors too, really nice and tight and clean, cant wait to see it finished!

Tinusch · Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2002 5:44 pm

I'm dying to see some more progress on this...

DarkStalker1 · Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2002 6:06 pm

Great pic ! Only thing I would add some texture to the skin !

duality · Posted: Fri Mar 15, 2002 6:46 pm

Texture would be nice... additionally, the ear bothers me. Too much like a fat piece of clay... other than that, awesome.... I'd like to know the dimensions of this piece... It's very tight.
