Title: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: Proglin on April 16, 2007, 01:30:41 pm
I used to have an Art thread in here which can be found ---> http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23656.60 here. It is a bit outdated and in the mean time I develloped a bit, like we all do. I'd like to restart and show you some of my work for improvements and comments, as well as just for fun. I hope that this time I can keep up the pace and regularly provide new pictures to look at.

I like using a tablet with Artrage and Blender for modeling. Here is some of my work for you to see.


Tablet and Artrage:

Did some color experimenting, and I'm not hugely disaapointed with the outcome, thus, I share with thee.

Looking good Proglin :thumbup:

One question, why do you have the connecting sections on the second above ground level on your buildings ? There is no access to the area on top, and no protection from the elements.

One question, why do you have the connecting sections on the second above ground level on your buildings ? There is no access to the area on top, and no protection from the elements.

The reasons are mainly playing with architecture and textures, as practice for more, bigger and better things to come, But you are definitally right. I could just place some rooftiles on it for a more realistic building. OR a door in either of the walls to which the connection section is attached.
Title: Re: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: Baldur on April 17, 2007, 12:48:19 pm
I think it looks interesting, you could add something which keeps the water from reaching the door.

Post by: rast on April 17, 2007, 07:00:52 pm
looks excellent mate, especially the blender stuff :D. One note on the last of the 3d pics though, the roof seems to have quite a high level of specularity making it look very bright compared to the surrounding area - looks good though - your textures seem very "planeshifty" (have they added that word to the dictionary yet?)  ;).
Title: Re: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: Josellis on April 18, 2007, 09:45:47 am
wow, they're all really great, I wish I could model/draw like that! I could really see that grolem in planeshift :D however, I can't really see that deer in PS... I find it too real and modern ... maybe add a dinosaur touch to it?

Right on both acounts :) The lighting is still to be looked at and most of the textures indeed come from Planeshift, the cobblestones, doors and straw roofs are textures of my own though.

however, I can't really see that deer in PS... I find it too real and modern ... maybe add a dinosaur touch to it?

None of the drawings are intended for Planeshift, The models are Planeshift related though, mainly because of the textures. However, I might create a dinosaury-ish deer, like the concept of it :)

I think it looks interesting, you could add something which keeps the water from reaching the door.

Why didn't I think of that?  :P Some sort of gutter right before the steps start might solve the problem of possible fluds and tremendously wet feet. Thankees!

*Edit*

(http://ugo.sinet.it/survivors/uploads/Main/marketstands.jpg)

Hurray! Practice in texture creation was a succes :) I always had trouble with creating textures and still kinda have. The above picture contains only home made textures, apart from the wood which I stole from the internet. If you see something that doesn't look good to you, let me know please.

Hi,

Very nice, I especially like the latest market picture. I'd add little longer feet for the stands, unless they're meant to be bolted on the ground, to add some stability. The golem creature is interesting too, makes me want to model it. Keep it up! :)

Just to show you the textures and the items on sale at the market, here's the merchandise. The oranges still need some work, the texture isnot seamless yet. I did get some blue berry texture  from a gifted friend of mine which will most likely be used in my next market. Untill then, we have a market that sells oranges, half oranges, quarter oranges and many more oranges!

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!!

 I wish I could model and create textures like that! lol, I'm trying to learn how to use blender after I abandoned 3ds max (3ds max is more user friendly, but the possibilities are far too great to a noob, whereas blender is doesn't have as many possibilities but is less user friendly...)

A bit dark. Try touching it up with a few level and contrast tweaks if you're using Photoshop :) Otherwise, if they're handmade they're really good. Also, you can create new unique surfaces with clone stamp and a soft blend with Healing Brush.

I got a serious problem with lighting, even in Blender. If anyone could PM me a proper tutorial on ligting I would be ever so happy. The textures are relatively light, but the lighting makes everything a lot darker.

Hello again all! It's been a while since I created something worthwhile. So time to show you my latest work. So fromout the shadow of Karyuu's way to awsome latest building, I present to you a slightly less detailed yet ok model that made me proud ;)

why are there steps going to a small patch of grass? Rather strange courtyard garden. :D. Besides that very nice, altough the fence looks abit stoney rather than woody.
Title: Re: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: LARAGORN on May 11, 2007, 05:02:43 pm
Perhaps a hand crafted Marble fence ;)  A little bit of the country in a city homes courtyard is quite nice. Have you ever tried to get a tan laying on cobble stone :P

Maybe a narrow row of flowers bordering the grass would be nice?

Good work  :thumbup:
Title: Re: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: Quitarias on May 11, 2007, 07:33:06 pm
Or better yet there could be a statue of a dvarvven king or something in the midle.
Still realy nice work there Proglin.I wonder if your models will go in-game anytime soon?

There are some trees in progress to fit on the patch of grass, unfortunately, my tree-building skills are extremely poor still, so in due time I'll show you what I got :)

Still realy nice work there Proglin.I wonder if your models will go in-game anytime soon?

A statue might be a good idea as well, or one of those small fountains. As for my models coming ingame soon? No, I don't thiink they will. When I improve my skills I might apply for the team in the distant future, but as for now it's a very pleasent hobby.

Thanks for all the comments people :) really appriciated.

Title: Re: Proglin Picks up Pencils
Post by: LARAGORN on May 13, 2007, 03:52:45 am
I was thinking about the patch of grass again, and I thought you could have water there. It wasnt uncommon for wealthier folks to have either a drinking, or bathing well (sometimes one in the same) within thier courtyard.

Just a though, and once again, Great stuff :thumbup:

Your modeling work is amazing. If you think you have the time, you should consider applying for the Planeshift team's art department, particularly architectural modeling.

Karyuu, are you reading this? ;)

Well this one sure as hell doesn't get an originallity reward, cause supposedly, there have been some one-eyed-monsters flying, crawling, creeping and lurking arround in many fantasy worlds. After some time I opened up Artrage again, whiped the dust of my tablet and started experimenting with colours a bit. Colours are not my favorite thingies you see? I I would like to recieve some feedback on my colour useage in this one.


oh... while typing I saw the tongue of the beasty seems to grow out of it's upperlip. well... maybe I'll go for the very first creature with a tongue on his upper lip. I bet no one ever did that before.

Post by: Baldur on September 18, 2007, 10:15:50 pm
Very good. Continue developing the things you're best at and the other areas will look better because the best booster is developing what you're best at. Your selfconfidence increases as well, increasing your productivity or time put into one piece.

This method is as effective as it can be dangerous though. All the time you climb a singleway ladder which only leads you up. A big leap to the other skills of the trade proves a brave task the higher you step.

There might be a bridge on a reasonable altitude, or a friend, already soaring high, who aids you in your trials. I can assure that you will find bridges, patience is a virtue when it comes to the trade.

What I ask of you is consider this: Do you want to take the step up towards the heavens, developing a bland span of areas in small scale, fully mastering one craft, or discover what is hidden beneath and develop a wide area of medias nurturing little specialization.

The latter requires great patience to specialize in a few areas and the first requires much humbleness of you, not easily derived from the acknowledged selfconfidence.

I chose to climb high until my knuckles hurt.

Make your move.

about the one-eyed beast, it is definatly origanal. This being said I still think the color scheme may need improving especially because the eye and skin are practically the same color. I think it would be best if the skin or eye's color was changed. Otherwise good work on all your drawings. :thumbup:
