Davis - It looks good, I think spooge is very very right with that. And uh... mind if I ask where you got the photo for that? I've never actually found any armor references. 
Flush - Cowboy's kick arse, and that's a good one.
Sosen - Mind if I ask what a torii is?
Flaptraps - Love the getup
Spooge - Awesome, as always... not quite the romantic type if they bring back a snapple eh? D:
Capt. Fred - Great!
Isric - At first I thought it was an asian monk, then I look at it again and see its a detective, and I think that's a squid. Cool 
Daemonite, Saripol, allpeter, DSedov, and many more of which I do not have the time to go through and comment individually, sorry,  great!
That takes a while to do. |

riq, Isric, Capt. Fred: thanks guys
my next pic is another case of treating a tablet as a toy and not as an art tool BUT atleast it's not depressing (atleast i hope so) and that makes me happy  . Saw something simmlar today and had this idea...

Spooge- I have always wanted to ask you this question, but keep forgetting to:
Your work is definitely classic illustration--visual storytelling. But I've always wondered why you keep a certain distance from your subjects--meaning that I rarely, if ever, see you depict visible emotion that's expressed by the face(joy, sorrow, anger, pensiveness..etc). Maybe it's because you're currently obsessed with capturing shapes that you try to do it all with the body language? Or maybe I place too much importance on the human face? |

It seems like the majority of sijun's talent has been sucked into this one thread. Most other threads here don't really showcase the quality that I used to find around here. No offense, there is plenty of great art in different places...but overall, I feel like this thread has taken over, at least in some respects.

Isnspired by mister sparth. PS 8 feels very different, a little clumsy right now.
Lunatique, uh, that�s between me and my therapist�
But really I don�t feel I have the skill yet to do that kind of thing. I am happy that I can communicate through gesture and posture and pose. That is the biggest area of learning. Also, I got a good education in ID, not illustration. The ill program had gone way downhill by the time I got there. I had one head drawing class. ONE. Should have had two a semester for the duration. I did have some excellent teachers, but not near enough. I have been trying to piece the rest of it together on my own.
But also I like the figure in its environment. If you paint a head then that is the subject. But you bring up a good point. I see some of the really really good work around and it has the figure and a head and expression and environment. I guess that I also like to do things quickly, doing really finished stuff is like giving birth. I also seem to lose interest after I have solved the compositions and block-in. The rest is sit and pick, when I could do a lot more images in the given time. Also, you invest that much time, and what if it sucks? Waaaa! It would also involve probably photography and models, also things I don�t like to have to deal with.
Inshield, that is the rez it was painted at. As far as the contrast, that is an interesting point. Blockhead clients sometimes demand that all atmospheric perspective be on a separate layer. Ok, so the shadow in that doorway 2 mile away should be black? It is not possible to do this. Remember, the client could do what you do much better, it is just that they are doing really important stuff. So just let them lift their leg on it, and they now have some degree of authorship. �Well this clod illustrator painted this thing and then I fixed the color balance and now it�s brilliant! What would we have done without my big picture aesthetic genius?� Having art directors screw with artwork is an unfortunate byproduct of Photoshop. Never used to be that way. And invariably they bump contrast, wipe out backgrounds, rim light figures with a chainsaw, etc.
Remember, you can never go wrong with blue shiny things.
It really makes me value the clients who are good, and there are many. The bad ones are *generally* the exception.
The solution is to paint a reasonable amount of atmosphere as you do it, and add some goo on top so you can play with it afterwards. So the answer to your question is it was largely painted as you see it, with some tiny tweaking afterwards. |

First time using painter. Love that program.
Spooge> Do you outline before you start painting? And did you have to do some kind of blood sacrifice to be this good? |
