I think it looks great! Can't wait to see it IN COLOR!

Miawshloubedadish · August 4, 2008 04:45 AM

Finished it a few days ago, I enjoyed doing the neo colors. I wish I was able to do some nifty digital speed vortex, but I couldn't. So have some horizontal matrix effect instead.

Good thing I colored, I was getting really out of it.

That looks great, I love the colors. It doesn't need the vortex, the zooming matrix symbols work perfectly.

pretty nice otherwise though.

Holy shit. The quality of that picture just shot up about 200%! You need to color all of you pictures from now on.

oooh pretty

you should tone down those glow effects, they look a bit tacky

plus the background looks too flat compared to the guy on the board since it's off perspective-wise and in general it looks like some kind of cheap filter trick you pulled off at the last minute. if you're gonna go for a basic design bg instead of just draw a natural bg then at least make sure it cleans up well and matches the character's quality.

i think apophysis might be a fitting enough program for making an interesting vortex background
that or you could just find some ps brushes lyin' around the web

Miawshloubedadish · August 15, 2008 07:38 PM

Urg sorry for being so slow. Stuff happened. I'm not sure what to say here beside thank you over and over again.

Yeah I tend to overdo glowing, but I though in this case it would fit in the "digital neo laser" theme I was trying to get. The background was exactly that, I slapped some image I created on photoshop and tried to make some perspective in it. It didn't came out like I wanted, but background is one of my worst weakness presently. I try to practice it, but I still have a long way to go with that one. Thanks for the tips, I'll check what is this apophysis program, it sound very interesting. I'll try to avoid such errors next time.

To tell the truth, I am not fond of custom brushes that created all done images. I guess I just prefer to do it myself so I can say I did it all 100%. So that if I can ever start doing some traditional stuff, I'll be able to re-create effect I did on the computer somewhat the same.

Mmmkay, so I finished a drawing, but lo and behold I have no idea of a background. Any suggestion of what I could do would be very appreciated.

The kayne west "stronger" glasses.

Miawshloubedadish · September 10, 2008 02:30 AM

I don't watch TV. So I have no idea about Kayne West's glasses. I saw thoses glasses on a publicity stamped near a bus stop.

So, is it a bad thing?

it's never a bad thing when you do it

rtil · September 10, 2008 02:51 AM

those look nothing like kanye west's glasses
and they're not "kanye west's" glasses, they're alain mikli shutter shades , a french designer that was nice enough to let kanye west wear his awesome glasses in his shitty video.

anyway, nice art. if you're gonna give a background i suggest vertical lines to compliment the horizontal ones. something simple

adamant · September 10, 2008 03:13 AM

^ that sounds like a good premise

try doing something like that to make the bg look like the inside of a haunted mansion

as long as you get what im saying i could care less whos they are. Kayne made them repopular, especally in my school. I saw about 30 of them my first day of school.
