The 3dpalete contest really got me going, so much so that I'm still fixated on seeing my pic up on the web. There's a lower-brain level need to have that happen, like an addiction. So despite the trubble frag.com & 3dpalette be having, I'll just post my pic... er... the parts I like (you can see the rest later, cuz it's rushed and uglee). Maybe then I'll finally be able to go on with another pic.

I didn't start out with an overall sketch (unlike the ones in the +36+ gallery :), I just started with a face, actually, a cartoony face from last year.


I then tried to make here more real, by sketching a face full size on 8 1/2 x 11.


Then I colored it with all the photoshop skills I've picked up here on sijun and on the web. Something wasn't right though. The proportions were all wrong.


So I used photoshop to shrink bits of her face. haha... almost cheating, but she became cuter with a smaller chin and nose, and a wider head, and bigger hair! I color dodged till happy.

Then I added the radiation burns to her right side, and the funky tatoo was made just for fun but stuck around after I flattened the image and saved by mistake!!! Grr...


In summation, I like layers!! Separate shadow and light layers, darken, color dodge, transparency 67%... yip yip yip!

Inspirations for this face were Dhabih's "Eclipse" and "Jack" and Shane Caudle's "Queen Amadala" (he is nuts!!!)

Nice pencil sketch (the more realistic one). Well it's all good but I like the pencil sketch.

One thing thou: She's looks too nice and trusting to be a character in a post-apocalyptic setting. Maybe more of a side-kick. To a hero. Actually she looks a bit like a ferret, someone that hides and
scavenges. These comments apply only in the final image. The rest are tottaly different in character. No offence, just anaylzing the character side of a character sketch.
