whoa, insane! awesome! =D

what techniques is it?

Ty =)

That is pure CG. The Enki it self is sculpted in zbrush and everything else is made with Photoshop (colours, background etc.). Basically i made a 3d black and white object that had only light information. Then i exported it to photoshop and tweaked that to look good (fur, etc) and then i coloured it and made that background. Tools i used in photoshop was: brush, colour dodge, colour burn, blur, smudge and leaf-like brush to make those leafs.

That technique it self should be quite easy for anyone...and quite fast. But for me it took quite a while because i am still learning and i have just learned the basics only (and my computer should be used as an anchor, if the good of human kind is in mind).

If everything would have gone like in the movies that picture would have taken around 3h-6h to complete… I used around 20h (6-8h in zbrush, rest in PS)… a week if considered that first I learned to sculpt…

I am quite pleased my self with that picture… But I am quite worried that I just got lucky and that’s the best I can do… Though I am making a new image, I have modelled it and photoshopping is on its way. Hope to get it here within few days =)


Edit:
Now i got my image somewhat ready...



Not so good, in my opinion as that last one… at all…  but i hope u like it. It's made with same method as the last one: character shadows / lightning in zbrush, everything else with photoshop brushing. (if there is anyone who is interested to know how that was done..  )

Edit2:
First i thought i dont post this second version, but then i thought this way i can get some feedback what u think about it.  I like those shadows more, but it still lacks something.. dont know what. And now, it is too dark...  Well, hopefully next one is better...

Is my request coming along... or am I ignored?  

No, ofcourse not.  Gimme details and ill do it next.  (23.8 i probably have all things under control here so i can do it then)  But send the details i can plan it and maybe if i have time before that i\'ll do it earlier.

Hey TTronic,

Cool art! I know it\'s not PlaneShifty, but I\'m impressed by the strong action pose on that Orc. Not the usual \'just standing there\' image I see so often. ( I\'m not saying here on these forums specifically, just on art sites in general!)

The first fenki is too human for my tastes, but some may like it. I\'ve seen a lot of anime type catgirl fenkis and this is it\'s equivalant to me, just done in an American comic style.

Second fenki is much better! There\'s a few anatomy problems, especially on the right leg, but I have to admit that mixing human and cat anatomy can be tricky and you did a pretty good job nonetheless. I really like the details you added through the costume though. It\'s adds so much to it.

Demorian is great! Your posing and expression capture an intense moodiness here.

I agree with Karyuu about the dwarve\'s cape though. The wrinkles here, as well as in some other places, are not falling correctly over his body. If you can\'t practice drawing clothed people from life, take some clothing or a blanket and drape it over a chair to study how it falls and how folds are created. Must say that your painting technique is rather good and adds much to the depth in the peice.

Overall, great stuff. keep posting. I\'d love to see more!

Thank guys  I have been bit busy for now, i have project that deadlines on monday and that consumes almost all my time. Hopefully its done by tomorrow but i cant really say. But after that i think i have time to do some art again. And pointers r always very welcome. (thx Kim and others) . It feels good to know that u like my art... It boosts my inspiration

Or what tha hell... i\'ll draw that one i promised now..   i can spare few hours for something fun for a change..

Thx. yeah i got a bit carried away in there, i had too much energy when i did that... i just couldn\'t stop

I am utterly and thoroughly amazed, impressed, and humbled. I will now worship you Your lines are absolutely gorgeous. The only things that really look off are the folds of the dwarf\'s red cape. You\'ve done a beautiful job of rendering them, but there are just too many Regardless, your work is stunning!

i want to see a dwarf!
anyway, how much did your tablet cost? if i ever find any money i want one...

The dwarf is coming... i started to do it for third time now....   I took too large piece to chew and now scaling it down to somewhat doable size (3rd sketch on the road :p). I\'m a noob in painting so its very time consuming to do it. With those b/w pics my time used was around 2-3h... with this.. 20 is broken and still it isnt ready... i think there atleast 5h, maybe 10h work ahead.  I\'m a poor little artist so i buyed the cheapest tablet around . actually i didn\'t know if i can/learn to use it so i didn\'t want to invest too much in it. My tablet is Aiptek 12000u. It costed around 80?.. Though i have learned that wacom\'s tablets  r costs worth. The next tablet i\'m going to  buy is a wacom...  When i get the 1G ? money (darn! Why they have to cost so MUCH!).  But if u search cheap tablet to start on i have to say that this aiptek is its moneys worth. Every single cents...

I knew you were using a tablet, I was going to say something about it, but it didn\'t matter. I have one sitting in front of me right now, staring at me, planning to kill off my pens and pencils...

Still learning to use it well, I\'m more quicker on paper, need to get use to handling my strokes.

Keep going TTronic, and join the Great Fan-Fan Art Project if you feel like doing people\'s characters.... I\'m lonely there.

Let it kill When one learns to use it.. its soooo fast. After 20y in drawing with paper its sometimes hard to learn how easy it is to fix things.. Like all the tools it just needs to learn how to use it... i\'m still learning...  And for the peoples charachters: i\'ll be there, after that stupid dwarf.... :p

i dumped the dwarf for now... i wanted to make it in colors and by doing that i noticed that it takes for ages to be complete.. so i made that dermorian elf for now, hope u enjoy.

thx Clad that u like these. I am drawing a dwarf now (Hammerwielder)... but i can do that dermorian female next after that.. (actually  i was too thinking that before i started this one)
