My Sketchbook

[MulleDK19]

So, pretty neat. Thanks to tigaer i pulled out my tablet, but since I'm on linux and the Gimp sucks, i fooled around with myPaint. It's pretty awesome. It's a... 1-1,5 hours job, not finished, and I know it will never be. I expect much constructive criticism. Much. TIA

*IMAGE*
Yes I do realise that about half of the picture is empty, and that the perspective is screwed like a screw. I wish I had more skill and imagination.

Holy shit. A holy rolling pin!

Don't say his rolling pin is shit.

It could be shit. I don't know, I never went closer to it than now.

Tigaer, could you please upload your perspective grids somewhere?
I've been searching for some for two hours now, with no luck.
TIA

adobe illustrator cs5 got some nice new 3d sketching features with a grid like this, maybe it could come in handy...

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

Thanks alot, tigaer. You're a great man.

@Rambo
Yeah man, I gotta check that out. Thanks for the heads up. I just got CS5 a couple days ago.

@Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet
No problem bro, glad I could help.

Anyway, here's a small update on the concept art piece I'm doing. I ended up restarting on it from the old update because I wasn't liking the way it was looking. I also took kebabs advice and am starting from grayscale to get the values correct.

Looks good. Damn I've got to learn so much, and practice even more before I am able to paint sth like this ::)
Anyway, gj.

But what about rolling pins?

[Succubus Dryad Of The Undying Comet]

I can paint rolling pins no problem. Do you want some?

[Farley4Fan]

Yes.   :-[

special note,   surfaces that are emitting bright light,  will not reflect light at the same time.  Just look at a lightbulb,  you wont see any reflections.

If you want it to have both,  reflective and emission....then the light will need to be extremely weak and as a result will not illuminate the environment.

Well these aren't exactly emitting light. These are tubes of water, and the tubes are being lit from lights that will be on the metal support bars at the top, which are outside of the tubes, so it would in turn be reflective to the lights around it. So the tubes themselves don't emit any actual light.

Also, the glass isn't the only thing reflecting, as the water inside the tubes will be moving thus refracting the light around it.

Damn. That's pretty awesome graphics for a SvM map.
