First one : 20 mins
The second : 2 hrs
Third : n++ hrs

Less time = more quality

edit : The third one was _ugly_ - removed it.

Definitely not mediocre, klaivu.

The last one has neat lighting and colours. I like it [edit: wtf? you consider it as 'crap', hehheh]. I'm not familiar with the style you've used with "the pig" so I won't comment on that, and I'm too afraid of the the polished (bird?) creature to say anything.

hey! i think these are really good,
especially the last two. the bird looks
creepy, and ceramic (meant to be??)
because of the small sharp highlights.

maybe the lack of replies you have been
recieving is due to the title you gave your
thread

dont be so hard on yourself

shamhead : lack of replies ? i've been away for like a minute and there's two already .. the thing that does keep me down is that these are no better than anything i've ever done - i'm just not developing

funny you should mention that you're not developing... first thing i though when i saw these was that "wow, it's good to see klaivu trying out different stuff. eg. that last one has very nice(and more saturated than usual) colors."

perhaps you should just do more of these and stop worrying about development after every single pic you've done(after all, painting should be more than just developing your skills, no?).

I like the shading in the second pic, colours in the third, but I think the first is best.

That slimy beakbulldog is totally wonderful.

that "skin" on the bird thingy is really disturbing and disgusting. Well done!

oh man that's just amazing klaivu. Are all these done in photoshop? Really really good.

-Tepox- · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 10:33 am

These are kickass stuff!!! The second is my fav. The Skin looks so lifelike. Third pic is also great... I think you inspired me... thanks.

Icannon · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 10:38 am

that second beaked thing is probably my favorite of all your stuff. extremely well done.

Morbid Guy · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 12:57 pm

Klaivu, thats some bloody good stuff!! I really love the last one the most, excellent!

palladia mors · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 10:08 pm

Collosimo · Posted: Sat May 12, 2001 11:53 pm

Whoa, I fell out of my chair, then smashed through the wall, dspite there being a piano on the other side... and then I carreered down the block.. the chaos... and oh yeah I've got a headache now...

Thumbs up to Klaivu!

that 'slimey beak bulldog' standing up one is great, cool character concept.

topeira · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 2:30 am

i really like the palm of the third one

sear · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 2:40 am

yum yum yum...
i love the 2nd and 3rd pics.

Ax0 · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 3:41 am

*Speechless*

klaivu · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 6:12 am

lots and lots of positive replies ..
gee, thanks ..

the title seems a bit stupid now .. but i have this childish tendency to get depressed with anything that's not "good enough" - the ones that i consider really bad i usually rip apart or eat .. janne and gecko know more about this i think ?

palladia mors : you are looking at the original file .. all pics are painted in the res you see them in. (except the third .. its 70 %)
-tepox- : inspired you ? that's the best compliment i've ever heard

Hey Klai! The second one on top is awesome! Reminds me a lot of John Mueller's stuff. The third pic posted is also great!

Prometheus-ANJ · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 2:33 pm

Looks very good I'd say. The only thing I could complain about would be the blury backrounds, a bit to simular to the render-clouds filter in photoshop, doesn't suit the detail level of the foreground me thinks.

egerie · Posted: Sun May 13, 2001 3:50 pm

hmm... that big staff holding bird reminds me of the movie Dark Crystal. Klaivu ever seen it ?
