Poxen emailed me and asked me to do a painting and save the steps of it, so
i painted the Goblin that he did.

I changed the shapes a little bit trying to make him look more mean.Also the skintone were made more warm.I think i used 2-3 hours.

Enough with these self-portraits!

Seriously, you have a great gift in bringing life to your work, they really feel like they could breathe. Do you use pre-mixed palette with selected tones (as with real oil-drawing) you do you just randomly pick up colours and see how they work with the picture?

How about all those steps, could you post them too?

Holy shit!
I�ve never seen such a mean looking goblin ever.

What the trick to get those "rough" shapes, cant seem to get it, mu pics just gets sooo smoothed out.

Thank guys!

Ehm. Sorry, forgot the steps...

Berry, berry cool Micke!!

You really captured the essence of Poxen's character

You make me wish I had a tablet

I can't see
anything blatantly wrong with it...so no crits this time around.

Freakin' cool Micke!
I LOVE this one!

Rinaldo · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 4:10 am

Woah!

You scare me sometimes micke

A few Qs
how long is this sort of thing taking you?
Are those Initial B+W lines done in PS or on paper?
Bewtween 3 and 4 you've warmed up the greens a bit? if so do you do this using some adjust slider, or repainting?

Cheers

Micke you've done it again! Great work...
yes I would also like to know if the original
line work is done on paper or digitally.

micke you always capture so much life in portraits! there's so much life in it if there was any more it would pop and explode or something similar to that. Always love the expressions you give to these characters. ALWAYS! YES!~ WEEE

Hey he looks like your green (tom hanks looking) character thats used too many bad experimental drugs :P

nice picture micke

Codexier · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 7:20 am

I know that this is prolly a stupid question, but what medium/brush is this in Painter?

I feel like a total retard using Painter, and it never works like I expect it to.

Thanks!

micke · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 7:29 am

Binke:
The skintones are actually inspired from your pilot-picture

Synj:Thanks a lot

Now, just press
caps lock one more time and you should be ok.
Dukez:Thanks, man!

You must be stopped... this is so unfair. I cant believe you would go off and do something this... ::huffs:: GAH!@$#!@$%

Hmm, well nice picture anyways... I suppose its good. Hmmf. I'd give you more credit, but I think I've done enough of that already, and, well, yeah, your to good.

Im going to go bathe my eyeballs in rubbing alchohol now..

Codexier, I think it's done in Photoshop, not painter...

Great pick micke!

micke · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 9:39 am

It's photoshop. Never used painter before.
sushimaster:Thanks

Man that is the ugliest piece of work I've ever seen you do micke. I mean that in a good way though.

zthee · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 10:10 am

that's one heck of a great image!!!
you just have to keep up the good work!

this image gave me loads of inspiration

(i read some where at the forum that you werent supposed to post your images in another persons thread, so if im stupid i appologise

)

samdragon · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 10:14 am

Hey Micke, I noticed you use a neutral gray in the early stages. Does it help out with your color schemes?

Great stuff!! Is this on a site anywhere?

poxen · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 10:40 am

Hey Micke,

this pic of the goblin looks remarkaby similar to a particular evil-eyed self-portrait you have on your site. Sharp cheeck bones, B.J. Blascowicz chin and your signature eyes! Have I freaked you out with these obersvations? :P

Regardless, I think Poxen's Honey and your gobby should hook up!

billyjay · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 2:49 pm

Micke this simply rules.

I cannot beleive how incredible real it seems. There is definate presense in it. Incredible work. Makes me wonder what he is gonna say or kill or bite or something.

Simply freaky.

Great work Micke.

I also wondered what kinda job you have? If it has to do with your artistic talent or not?

Thanks!
BJ

Frost · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 2:49 pm

micke: Nah, nothing new here... laying low, working a lot. I sketch things and do crap once in a while, nothing good at all really. Just taking it easy -- smoking my pipe, reading the paper in my rocking chair, etc. =)

Vortx · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 3:05 pm

Very nice painting micke. Man, you are gonna be one famous artist in the very near future.....

great stuff....and just think, yestoday while you were doing this great painting, i was watching tv...uggg...gotta work harder...

phreaknasty · Posted: Tue Sep 19, 2000 4:34 pm

micke - this i great... not only the picture but the inclusion of the steps.

i would be great if some of the more talented artist here such as yourself would willing to do this more often. i tend to learn best from example... 2 questions.

1)whats your basic brush setup. ie, brush opacity, brush type (custom, fuzz, or hard), photoshop stylus setting (size, color, or opacity) and the like

2)any chance you could post some larger versions of the prelim steps.

i can't express enough my appreciation for those of you who lend so much time and effort to this forum and teaching the rest of us.
