RHughes Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 Just a real quick warm-up I did one day. Lineart by Johnny Segura Colors by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 The background is awesome and I like the trail effect you added to Surfer, however, I'm not crazy about the yellow-ish glints spotting his arms and head. The art is distracting me from some of your techniques. It wasn't until now that I noticed you used the chrome filter on Surfer and the board. This might be an odd request, but can you post the image without the lineart? I'd like to see the colors without being distracted by the art itself.

RHughes Posted October 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2007 Chrome filter? You wound me sir! I painted in the colors on the Surfer and the board. I used Liquify to pull the colors around to fit the shape board better and give it the liquid metal look though. The Surfer is almost entirely free hand though. I wasn't getting what I wanted from Liquify. I'll make a jpeg without the lineart and post that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RHughes Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 No taken seriously. Actually use of filters by themselves are pretty much taboo and stick out like a sore thumb, but using them to HELP create effects can give you some really interesting images. Too many artists use them as a crutch when they start out though, myself included. But that's part of the growing process. Here's the pic without the lineart.

Missy Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 HA! I actually like that better! Without the lineart, it looks like Surfer is going at warp speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHughes Posted October 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 One of these days, when my skillz get good enough, I'm going to try painting over the lineart rather than under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
