i have been doing some illustrations for a book. i'm trying to use simple 3d geometry and then painting over that in photoshop.
these were some of my earlier attempts, where i applied some simple textures in 3d.
some of the quick renders i did for exploring some ideas.
let me know what you like/dislike. |

really good. the "real" ones are much better than the tests too -- I love the cleaness of them.
the legs of the girl in the third picture are out of scale with her upper half. need to be bigger.

IMO the 3D-Parts are to strong. They make the pics look hard and static.
Your drawings are lovely

or then you just have to polish your paint style for more crisped edges  but then again, you still need soft areas in my opinion.. |

| very interesting technique.. i like the contrast between the soft and hard lines in the 3rd one -- reminds me of the game "out of this world" |

thanks for your input. the hardness is wanted all the other flaws not :-/ my teacher wanted me to do sth that is a bit less "painterly" than i would usually do. i think i found sth in the 3d part that is interesting to explore further.
what i do not like so much are the compositions, they're not simple enough i think. also i have problems with keeping the style consistent the more pictures there are. well, lots of problems - so little time. |

these...
are...
excellent.
I love the simplicity (a fan of folk art) and the crisp definitions. The 'perspective' pieces stun me.
I decided to register just so I could respond to this thread. I would love to see the book when it is done.

Some of the 3d models look like 3d models in a painterly space.. the one with the little girl sitting in front of the cabinet in particular. I think its because of the hard straight lines that compose the cabinet and the direction the texture runs on the top.
I really love the palette you've got going on and the painterly feel.
very warm. very inviting. even on the ones that speak of loss and death. |
