Very Nice! What dimension do you work at?

Cicinimo · Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2002 5:33 pm

Hehe, thanks! These are each like 6-8 inches wide at 200 dpi. Not very large, but I'm working with 128 megs of ram, and I don't actually "have money" to upgrade.

First image - sweet - nothing more to say

Second image - (personal taste)- the spray on the right of the image looks a little odd - sorry i can't be more specific, and i'm not keen on the soft airbrushy look on the fine spray in the foreground - in my eyes it doesn't match the treatment you've given the rest of the image.
Still well doing it tho'

Third image - really nice - (query? - probably just me - but the boat looks a little flat, perhaps the sails should be catching more of the golden glow?) - but really nice

The one you dont' like

- Love the silhouette work on the trees, the only bit i'm not keen on, is the campsite and the underlit tree area - if it were just silhouette work with the reflected sky on the water, it'd be great.

Overall - cool set of pix dude

Hahah, Groady

"Very Nice! What dimension do you work at?"

... I work in the Nebula B-74 Dimension, quadrant 3, sector 8.

hehe.

I think you forgot to pluralize dimension, and it ended up sounding hilarious to me for some strange reason. I must be drunk again.

Cincimo, great stuff as always. Your landscape work is breath-taking. You pay great attention to detail, and it shows in the final piece. Awesome!

Thanks monkey.

Satan - hey, big thanks for the thorough reply. I gotta agree with you just about on everything; good calls.

Thanks yoda.

Heheheheh, snarf. hehe. Thankyou.

Very nice stuff! I especially like the clean looks of every pic. That's pretty much all I can say. heh, and these are just 'sketches'

btw. Do you use channels/paths for you selections?

Bg · Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2002 10:57 am

I like them, your style reminds me a bit of Ceenda's style, especially the way you drew the mountains in the first pic.

Some crits:
The third pic looks nice as an illustration, but if you're aiming for realism and depth, then I would suggest adding some subtle (low contrast) shading to the palace, and perhaps to the trees that are furthest away of the sun. (human eye tends to blow the contrast up when there's a powerful light source behind the object. For example the trees right below the sun)
The viewer should be able to see the deck of the boat from this camera angle and as far as I know it should be lightier than the rest of the boat, because it's facing the sun from a much smaller angle than any other part of the ship (visible to the viewer).

[edit] talked about wrong pic [edit]

Good Job Cicinimo!
Your good at painting landscapes,
you should write a tutorial.

Keep up the good work!

Liser Studios · Posted: Wed Feb 20, 2002 1:49 pm

hey, these are pretty darn nice. mucho awesomeo.
what do you do these in, Painter, Photoshop or Traditional? It does say digi art on your site, so i doubt traditional.
nice work again duuuuude.

Cicinimo: beautiful work. I especially love that first one of the mountains. Nice color choices, and I really like how the mist is coming up from the bottom. Makes me wonder what's down there. Nice! >8)

Bg - Thanks for the crits! I've gotta agree with you. And now that boat is really starting to bug me

Neo - Thanks

. I don't really know exactly what I'm doing; maybe I'll a tutorial after I get a little more grip.

Liser - Photoshop

. Thanks!

Blind - Hehehe. Theres actually a psycho billy ninja practicing tennis down there; but don't tell anyone. The mountain painting was a present for my valentine
