Nexus: washka's threedy ones (and some nudity)

[washka]

Thanks for nice comm' guys.
chris always a nice comm' and a positive attitude, thanks!
Mister C, this witch I learnt to do that from my master splotcher.
Hulahuga, about the flowers: I still want to work onto this one a bit, should I desaturate the ground to make it pop out more or anything else,?

By the way here's another one a bit weird:

[hulahuga]

It still has a lot of whites on the leaves, what if you try to make the colors more solid? That might be a bit against the style, but it might be necessary to make it pop..

[M_Cederstrom]

you pass, with witch colors.

[chris_solo]

is a feeling or your style has improved a lot!! the technique of colors is truly amazing, (there is a picture below ...?) so > next

[hulahuga]

Yeah yeah .

I think you accomplished to make the crow pop thanks to the completely white background. What is important with this is the utter contrasts. You did this well

[Vatsel]

the values and saturation are kind of all over the place D:

some more still lifes won't hurt

I didn't liked my whole result for this comp, so my art was sliced into three differents pieces, and one of it is the tower, the second piece (still in work) is a big lizard, and I'll let the surprise for the third piece.
This is some kind of dark tower, some HR Giger inspiration there.
One of my friends named it: "Phalgus" and he wasn't wrong, I wonder why...

WOw, your work is a bit different than the usual. I think you have a shot at being a concept artist, your rendering are not that good yet, but you have some wicked design up in your head.

You might want to try out some digital painting tutorials to brush up your painting skills, cos it will be awesome when combined with your designs!

No picture below Chris, thanks for com' Mr C and Dr Hula.

Yeah Vatsel, I oversaturated the image, and the values are messy, but maybe It was the purpose? In fact it's a color technique.
Hula used the word "pop", he's quite right about it, it seems he has seen something that maybe you didn't, I don't try to be photorealistic with this one.

Look at this next one, I worked onto it a bit more than 2 hours on my desk (Yes I know I'm slow), then I've taken the photo (the point of view are not quite the same, and the lightning is darker on the photo) , I messed up a bit with the rope and I also forgot the red tones coming from the top but it's not important.
Go away from your screen a bit, what do you think about it?

[washka]

Thanks Luffie (Nick comes from One Piece???), you've got some awesome design too, especially onto characoncept.

You might want to try out some digital painting tutorials to brush up your painting skills

No, not yet, it would be a mistake , I know my technical level is quite low actually and that tutos can help me.
I also know that practice with real life or study works can also help me like Vatsel pointed out, I completly agree with that.
In fact I've got somes nice tutos on my HD waiting for me, I've done a few ones before.
My main tools remain my eyes and my brain, tutos and photos are great technical help and should be used, but maybe you're also missing something when you're using it, carefull.
Seeya.

[hulahuga]

I think he means (luffie) that some tuts might help your technical skills and thus your painting skills as well.

Cool still life . You might want to go over it a bit more to make the colors more "solid", perhaps a smooth brush will do.


Ps: I saw that BigToe had posted your final in the lost jungle comp... Looked pretty cool . I liked the concept and everything.

Not a massive fan of the multicoloured artwork, the form in nice as is the subject matter but just personal taste etc, but really like your still life artwork above, very nice and accurate lighting and painting method, would love to see more artwork like this

[washka]

(I'll try to smooth a bit more next time even if I'm not a big fan of smooth brushes, prefer hard ones)
Something I like about hulahuga, It's that each time, he allows me to explain myself giving me the exemple I've already choosen for my next comment.

that some tuts might help your technical skills and thus your painting skills as well

I've got some interesting question here (I've already got my own answers but please gimme yours):
What's the difference here? What's the link?
Between:
technique-painting-(artistical) creativity

Thanks chunkymunky, I'm quite sure there will be other still life for the general.
Personally I like (multi)colors, but everybody's got different taste, hopefully.
My color taste are quite a mess especially when I obtained some green-brown colors onto my crow, unwanted result there.
I always see that too late (In fact for a certain range of colors my eyes s*cks).
Just a question for you: Wich one of the multicolors one do you dislike the less?

Some update from last threedy Challenges.
First one was for "Gift to the gods", second one for "Tomb raider":

[M_Cederstrom]

i like the colors washka on you raider.

[washka]

Thanks Mr_C, really!
I'm happy I'm not the only one that like colors.

Some new ones, washka is on a lazy mood those last days, sad days.
First one is a color "lab", I'm still messing up with colors.
Second one is a WIP, a bird again => inspired by vnmribaya's tomb raider (last threedy contest).

[darknake]

Like the bird!!
