Seta Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Kinda seems like work of Salvador Dali, which is not bad at all. It does seem a little LQ and choppy at points but I kinda like it. I except that in the bottom is a ray of light coming from that "submarine", as I'm gonna call it. I think you could maybe make the ray stand out more, add some more light and yellow to it, maybe make some kind of shark or other sea creature go past it. Just a random concept my head made up, but nice work neverthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Rai Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 God, I fail to understand how you do this in GIMP. Your pentooling is pretty impressive. Make that insanely impressive. Not sure what's up with the two little flares in the spotlight thing. Lighting-wise, I have no clue where that could come from without messing up perspective in the lighting.

Thanks regardless, I wanted to make it more aquatic, but after 5 hours I was just exhausted.

[/quote] <3 I included it only because as it was, just the ray, It looked as if it wasn't attached onto the sub, so I put it over it to make more sense. Regardless, I really need to move on to PS. It's been a good run with GIMP, but my quality could be monumentally better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seta Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Also won't class, because I think the whole idea in it is shitty. Everyone takes a look at art with his own eyes.

Twenty-five Zero Oh-oh Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 Not bad. Digging colors and atmo. I'd like to see the piece developed further. The only thing that bothers me are those white particles. How do you get those colors though? Like what adjustments or tools do you use? As for classing, that thing is really stupid. From what I've seen (note: on PR) here's basically how it works. Cranking out good texture/c4d/manip-spam tags? Mod Started a fresh new style that everyone is whoring or you do scratch work? Inter Are you a once worshiped veteran who started again but can't do crap? Pro Everyone else, Nov Have a nice day. D : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The classing was meant as a joke for the most part, but I'm just curious to see how far I've improved. As for the colours, it's basically painting with the mouse, using a palette consisting of about 25+ colours alternating every so often while using 3-4 custom brushes I made using the bullshit gimp brush maker. I also set the tone of the brush down to about 2-3% opacity, giving that textured look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tormented Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 It looks goddamn gorgeous but what exactly is it? or is that the point? As for the painting really surprised you didn't use a drawing tablet but hey ho. I can't say anything at all but it's just personal opinion but, I feel it might have looked a little bit better with more lighting on the weed type things, (Ignore the lacking of scientific wording.)

Catman25 Posted July 15, 2012 Report Share Posted July 15, 2012 Anyone that can do scratch work, at least competently, does deserve some praise, at least in my eyes. I'm digging all the textures and shades created by the colors. f*** you man. GIMP will have lost a great artist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chairman ali Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 Nice colours but the shapes are ehhhh. doing shapes just make sure everything's clear and all the edges are straightly done. Detail the seaweed a bit more and give a texture to the sea, perhaps reflections would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
